Gotta love Pyrex
By Fargo Shopper on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2024
Sturdy, long lasting, easy to care for. All the things that make Pyrex great. This set replaced the ones I received at my bridal shower 43 years ago. I finally broke one too many and needed a new set. These are nice, even if they aren't patterned anymore. The different sizes mean you always have the right bowl for the job. Unlike cheap bowls, these are deep and heavy. They're almost impossible to chip in regular use. While I might miss the old school patterned bowls, these clear bowls are a lot more functional. They can go right to the table and look good with my dishes. They're easy to clean. Just pop them in the dishwasher. The lids are nice, but I probably won't use them much. I don't really need to store food in anything that large!

Love the bowls, hate the lids
By Prime Suspect on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016
I love the Pyrex brand. Definitely worth the price I paid for these 4 bowls with lids. They are heavy and I will still be using these for years to come. The lids fit snugly and keeps food fresher longer than if it were stored in a plastic bowl. The bowls are more shallow than I thought they would be, but they still work for my purposes. I made mashed potatoes in the largest bowl. No problems. I use the smaller one for making omelets.They are great for storing leftovers. I like that they all stack into the largest bowl for easy storage. Easy to clean. ADDENDUM: Downgraded this bowl set. I cannot get the smell out of the lids. I made shrimp ceviche in the large bowl and I stored it in the bowl with the lid on to keep it fresh (which it did), but now I can't get the smell out of the lid. It stinks and I don't really want to use it again in case the smell is going to permeate from the lid to other foods I store in this bowl. I really didn't expect this from Pyrex. UPDATE: I have had these bowls for months now. The lids still stink. I called the manufacturer and they wanted to charge me for new lids plus shipping. I told them that was ridiculous and that I would never buy Pyrex again. Then they said they would send me new lids for free including free shipping. I've had the new lids for months now and I am afraid to use them for anything that has a strong smell. So essentially, these have become strictly mixing bowls and on occasion serving bowls. The lids are great for anything that doesn't have strong aroma. Don't try storing garlic mashed potatoes in the bowls with the lid on it. I'm not downgrading my rating because, although it was a hassle to get the new lids, the Pyrex company did the right thing by sending new lids to rectify the problem.
