These crevices can trap bits of food (usually sauces gone astray in my experience) and can be very difficult to clean. I love the Pyrex glass storage ware. They clean up in a SNAP (the round ones are easier to clean than the square one because of having no corners), and they seem very sturdy and well-made. My lids have all fit well.
A lot of them nest together to save space also, which helps in storing all of these. Also, the design of these lids makes them easier to clean. All the previous plastic container lids I've owned have had a very narrow opening on the underside edge where the container fits into the lid. I have been SO concerned about the dangers of plastic-leaching and assumed that there wasn't much to choose from in the way of glass storage containers and that it would be too expensive to buy, but I was wrong on both counts. The 2-cup sizes are SO handy for so many things that I couldn't do without them. in the refrigerator, and have put a bunch of them in the freezer also with lunches in them.
The red lids are a little garish and overly bright in my opinion and are not truly red, so I much prefer the blue ones, but in the end it doesn't matter that much since they're just for food storage. I purchased 3 different sets of the Pyrex glass storage and love them all.
Some people sort of complain about the smaller sizes that are included in most of the sets, but I find the smaller sizes so useful for so many things that I couldn't do without them. It is very thick, in my opinion, and the lids are very easy to get on if you start at one end and "smooth" your way around.
I've already gotten rid of the majority of my plastic ware, and I just got a new Pyrex set yesterday, so I'll be getting rid of more of the plastic now. The Pyrex lids have a wide lip that can easily be wiped out.
I haven't tried liquids in them yet to know about leakage, but I'm sold on them for carrying lunches, storing all kinds of cooked foods, raw vegetables, etc. The 4-cup size is great for ALL KINDS of things and is my very favorite lunch size, and the 2-cup containers are my next-most-used size after the 4-cup size.
Needless to say by this point, I'm thrilled that these are now available to buy.
It is an excellent product. But rectangle shapes are better for storage.
these bowls are nice. the glass is sturdy and the lids fit snuggly. I would have given this product five stars if they were able to go directly from frig. to microwave.
We have tried to replace all of our plastic storage containers for glass, due to concerns about the chemicals in plastic. I already owned two of these sets, so when I saw it as a lightening buy from Amazon, I grabbed it. Lids fit well, containers can go into the freezer, they clean easily (no red staining from tomatoes), and they stack.
These glass containers are great and so versatile. They can be used to measure ingredients into, store leftovers or have a bowl of cereal. I will definitely be purchasing another set.
