Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pyrex 6021224 Storage 10-Piece Set, Clear with Blue Lids
Customer Review: these are great for packing lunch to work
Summary: 5 Stars
they come in different sizes so you can pack whatever you like. I haven't had any problems with leakages, the lids are pretty tight. Just make sure you handwash the lids so they don't end up warping like typical plastic tupperware, though I've thrown mine into the dishwasher dozens of times and the lids are still fine.
These are great not only for packing lunches, but also for steaming and baking small food proportions!
The only "problem" I have with these is like any dish you nuke for a few minutes, it gets super hot and hard to grab on to. Just make sure when you get these out of the microwave to use some mitts (I use a few layers of paper towels, scrunch them up and grab onto the dish) before you drop the whole thing.

Summary: 4 Stars
I want to stop using plastic storage because I often ended up reheating my food at work on the microwave. I am concerned about the chemical reaction of the plastic with my food. The pyrex set is much better in that aspect. It also never stains with lasagna or spaghetti sauce, which is more difficult to clean on plastic containers. The set I received have lids that fit perfectly snug.
If you want to use it as a storage, you do not have to open the lid to see what is inside it. The glass is clear and you can see the food well unlike plastic.
The only thing I dislike is that now my lunch carry-on will be: 1) much heavier than it used to, and 2) it is breakable as opposed to plastics than I can toss freely on the sink.
Customer Review: Excellent alternative to plastic containers
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband suddenly wanted glass containers to store leftovers. I bought these and they are exactly as described. The plastic lids fit very snugly and everything washes up like a dream in the dishwasher. It's a pleasure to know that we will have these for years and won't be forever replacing them as we have tended to do with plastic. Also, these do not absorb any food odors or colors, so you can load them up with tomato sauce and other acidic foods and not worry about ruining a container. The only downside to using glass is that it is difficult to look into your refrigerator and see what you have because the lids are completely opaque. But that is a minor point. We have now replaced all of our plastic with glass and are so happy we did.Customer Review: So Happy w/These
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little nervous ordering on-line for food storage, but when I got these I was so surprised. The quality of the glass is wonderful! I was really tired of using plastic containers because they break down over time, absorb odors and stain easily from tomato sauce. I NEVER stored lasagne in any of my plastic containers. I also hate, hate washing plastic containers because you have to "weigh" them down in the dishwasher or they'll flip over and collect water. Yuck. With the glass storage, it is so easy to clean, so easy to see what is in it, so easy to microwave and NEVER stains or collects odor. I love my Pyrex food storage set. They stack so easily in the cabinet too. The price is awesome and I'm going to order more.Customer Review: essential kitchen item
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using my set for 3 years now and I haven't found a better way to store leftovers. I use them in the microwave as well as the oven (with foil instead of the lid) and put them in the dishwasher. I have had zero problems with the lid shrinking, stretching or warping, and as with other pyrex products, the glass is almost unbreakable. The sizes in this set are perfect for medium to small items - you'll need larger containers for leftover whole roast chicken or a pot of soup, but for tomorrow's lunch these are just right. The smaller rectangle in this set is the perfect size for a wedge of brie or other soft cheese that makes a mess in plastic wrap. I often use the larger rectangle for sliced meat, chicken pieces, etc.
