What reviewers say

Customer reviews on the Pyrex product page are mixed. One reviewer says the lids split within two months, another reports items that arrived broken, and another found the containers smaller than expected but liked switching to glass.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Nine sizes from 1 to 7 cups, each with its own lid
• Pro: Glass is oven-usable in a preheated oven, per Pyrex
• Con: Plastic lids cannot go in the oven
• Con: Some owners report lids cracking

Cautions

• Pyrex says not to use plastic lids in a conventional or convection oven, and to remove or vent them at least 1/4 inch in the microwave.
• Pyrex says not to move glass directly from the freezer to a hot oven, and not to use it on a stovetop, under a broiler or in countertop appliances such as air fryers.
• Pyrex does not name a glass composition beyond tempered glass on the pages we read.
