Amazon.com Review
Transporting foods for lunches and picnics and storing leftovers for reheating is a cinch with the Pyrex Storage Plus set. Included in this set are two 2-cup rounds, one 3 1/2-cup rectangular, one 4-cup round, and one 6-cup rectangular storage piece, all glass, with plastic covers. Pyrex glass doesn't warp, stain, or absorb odors, and can be used in the oven, microwave, oven, refrigerator, or freezer for storing, reheating and serving. The set is easy to stack, so it takes up less cabinet space when not in use. The set includes a pamphlet with safety and use instructions, and each glass piece is covered by a two-year warranty. --Rhonda Langdon

 Pyrex Food Storage Containers December 2, 2008
Kenneth Peterson (Venice, FL)
I was very satisfied with my storage containers. They were exactly as described and arrived promptly. So much better than plastic.
Great storage for taking meals to work November 22, 2008

I would highly recommend this set along with the other items Pyrex offers. My containers are used daily for bringing meals to work for the past 4 years and have basically performed flawlessly. They are used in variety of ways depending on what is being made. For example when making soups I tend to make large portions and then divide them into the 2 cup round bowls and freeze them using cling wrap as the cover. I believe that this addresses the issue with leaky lids that some people are reporting. Leaking lids are not an issue for me since my lid have only seen limited usage. Just make sure that you transfer your meal for the next day to the fridge the night before and the issue of leaks is now resolved since the meal will be partially frozen when you transfer it. This method can be applied to most everything you make and the condition where are lid may or may not fit becomes a moot point.
I've also had great success with using cling wrap with containers without freezing. The key is that you do not overfill the container and that the top of the lid is not wet. You need to have cling wrap that is over sized and this does allow for a very tight seal if you take a second to make sure the top is sealed.
Like many of the other reviews I switched to glassware for the issues that exist with plastic storage products regarding staining / smell / leeching / durability / etc.
An other issue that people have mentioned with items breaking is more than likely is just attributed to extreme changes in temperature and this doesn't just apply to glass but many other items as well. To those who say the containers are too hot after microwaving you could do something like this to make the experience simple. When microwaving your meal avoid using HIGH for a short blast to heat the food. Using the HIGH setting can not only make items in your meal tough/chewy but it also makes the glass container hot. You can easily set the power level to medium/low and increase the time to heat and what this will do is slowly heat the food and the end result is a meal that is properly heated/not over cooked with a container that is easy to handle. Hope that this helpful for those that have issues with the product as these techniques have worked just fine for me.
 Nice, but a little small November 17, 2008
Cheryl Smith (Ladera Ranch, CA)
I love this product because it's glass and the pyrex lids always seal very well, but just be aware that the containers are a little bit smaller than you think. Still a good value.
 Gah! 10 pc = FIVE bowls and FIVE lids! November 14, 2008

I would call that "five piece"!
Caveat emptor!
Good products though, and it's still a good price!
essential kitchen item November 10, 2008
Ginger O. (Berkeley, CA USA)
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.
