Pyrex Simply Store 4-Cup Single Glass Food Storage Container with Lid, Non-Pourous Glass Round Meal Prep Container with Lid, BPA-Free Lid, Dishwasher, Microwave, Oven and Freezer Safe

I store food in glass containers instead of plastic. I have a couple of sets of Pyrex containers and needed an extra. Healthier than plastic storage bags, microwave safe, nice design, and saves leftovers

I have the 6-cup rectangular dish with the red lid.I am a longtime fan of Pyrex glass. Pyrex beakers in my chemistry graduate lab lasted longer than the other brands and were better at withstanding heat. Pyrex bakeware is thick, tough, and sturdy. And I use smaller Pyrex containers to store leftovers in the refrigerator. They can't be stained by tomato sauce the way plastic can, and I feel safer reheating out of glass as opposed to plastic. So I was predisposed to like this, although I purchased it for an unusual purpose unrelated to food.I have recently gotten into working with copper and wanted to try acid etching. It is generally acceptable to use either a plastic or a glass dish to store the etchant solution (ferric chloride, in my case). (You don't want to use metal because the ferric chloride will etch the metal container as well, eating right through it...) But this container is just perfect for my needs. I am working with smaller pieces, generally blanks and strips (that I may form into bracelets later on). So they fit nicely inside here. The lid fits securely for storage when I am done, without evaporation. Plus, this is heavy and sturdy and will not be swept off a work table easily (not that you shouldn't follow appropriate safety practices, regardless).Because of how I have used this with chemicals, I will not be putting it in my kitchen. But this appears to be of the same quality of all my (much-loved and much-used) other Pyrex bakeware and I would feel confident using it that way, had I purchased it for that reason. This dish is dishwasher and microwave safe (I don't put the lids of these in the microwave and if you read the product listing carefully, it says "top rack dishwasher safe" and does not mention the microwave for the lid; I find these lids to do OK on the bottom rack of the dishwasher if you don't use a heated drying cycle) and easy to clean.I do not know if the lid is leak proof. With ferric chloride solution inside, I don't really want to test that by turning it over. I have not seen evaporation so far, as discussed above, but it has been a short time since I started using it so I can't say what would happen over a period of months. Also, be sure you know what variety you are getting, since there are multiple items with different sizes and lid colors listed on the product page. In general, I find the lids on the largest food storage containers to be poorer than the lids on the smaller food storage containers in terms of fit, long-term quality of use, etc., although the lid on my container is acceptable.Overall, though, the dish I purchased was excellent for my purposes and the quality matches my other Pyrex storage containers.

I use these primarily for heating food in my HotLogic Mini. They fit nicely in the Mini. The lids let me move the dishes around without worrying about sloshing. Even though these dishes are inexpensive, they look and feel like top quality.

I've been a Pyrex gal for years, and these glass containers don't disappoint! They're thick, sturdy glass and the lids have (amazingly) not cracked at all, even though I put them in the top rack of the dishwasher routinely. I'm sure I'll buy more of these at some point - the 2-cup size is great for things like parfaits, meal prepping ingredients, storing leftovers of things like soup, and stuff like that. They're always being used in my kitchen!

Love these, use them everyday, glass portion is extremely study and scratch resistant, I've even accidentally dropped them a few times and they were ok, but the lids are cheaper and will eventually split/crack/wear out so you need to replace them periodically (I replace mine like ever 2 years or so) but the glass seems to last forever.

I have another glass dish with a cover similar in size and have been looking for a second. This is the perfect size to make some gelatin like reptile food I use weekly. I am pleased with the purchase.

This is a handy little storage container and with the lid on it stacks nicely in a cupboard or drawer.I hand-wash all of my plastic lids because it takes only seconds and they last longer that way. The lid on this is such a simple design it takes no time at all to wash it.The glass bowl has no chemicals to leech and it can be put in the microwave and the dishwasher. I have washed this one countless times in the dishwasher and it still looks new. It’s also quick and easy to hand-wash.I have only one of the one-cup size because I do not need it as often, but it is handy to have for small amounts of leftover sauces and chopped or minced peppers or herbs.I have several of the two-cup size because they are especially useful for all kinds of things, like small amounts of leftovers, batches of sauces, onions, chopped veggies, and keeping cheeses fresh in the fridge.Both sizes fit neatly and easily in a fridge.These are a good buy because for the price, I get a lot of use out of them.
