| mountainhigh's Full Review: Pyrex Round Storage Bowls w/ Lids (3-pc) |
I have two kitchen cabinets filled with storage containers. Tupperware, Rubbermaid, Corning Ware, and Pyrex containers are my favorites. I love the plastic ones such as the Tupperware and Rubbermaid, however, some foods such as tomato sauces, stain and eat away at the plastic ware. When I cook such foods that contain certain sauces, it prevents me from using the plastic ware as often as I would like to because it is more lightweight.
The 3 piece set of the Pyrex Round Storage Bowls with Lids solves the dilemma of ruining my plastic ware and being able to freeze my leftovers without freezer burn.
The 3 piece bowl set consists of a 2-cup, 4-cup, and a 7-cup each with blue flexible lids that seal tightly over your Pyrex bowl. The lids are airtight. There is no struggle putting the lids on or taking them off like I have with some of my plastic ware. The lids are dishwasher safe for your top rack, however they are not oven-safe. They have stood up to the test of not staining with any of my saucier foods.
The 3 piece set stores very easily in your cabinet because they nest in each other, so you only need room for the largest one which is your 7-cup bowl.
I also find myself using these with leftovers such as sauces, gravies, one person dinner/lunch or 2 person dinner/lunch since these can go straight to the freezer and right back to the microwave or oven for those occasions you need a quick dinner or lunch. The lids fit so snuggly that I have had gravies in them for over 4 months and there was not any freezer burn taste whatsoever.
I also find myself using these for everyday use of storing quick snacks for the family such as grapes, melon balls, salami and cheese so they can easily reach for healthy snacks since they are see-thru bowls.
The lids make this set easily transportable to take with you to a guest’s house or a camping trip to store foods in your ice chest.
The bowls are made in the USA of a very thick, strong durable clear glass and mine have never chipped or have gotten broken.
The sizes of this set are ideal and I am sure you will find yourself using them very often and will be extremely happy using them, especially since they are not only for refrigerator storage but for the freezer to the microwave or freezer straight to the oven.
Thank you for reading my review, and I hope you have found it helpful in your purchasing decision.
