 Good bowls, but rims chip & break easilyAug 11, 2010
PROS: Overall I am happy with these bowls. The round plastic lids seal very well. They are snug, but not exactly water tight. Being made of tempered glass, the bowls can be used in the microwave, oven, fridge and freezer. They are heavier than thin plastic containers for taking food to work, but you avoid most of the plastic leeching that happens with those containers. The lids can leech plastic if left on loose during reheating due to the condensation that collects on them. Except for the rim (see "CONS" below), these are fairly durable bowls.
CONS: The major down side to these are the glass rims. They are the weak spot and can easily chip or break. STACKING these bowls with out their lids on is NOT advised. This is especially true for the smaller "2-cup" size bowls. Due to the crystalline nature of glass and very little tapered angle (the sides are almost vertical), pulling 2 bowls apart can shear off pieces of glass from the rim of the bottom bowl. You may not be aware of this when it happens and there is a danger that small shards of glass may be left inside a bowl. Those of you with children should be aware if this point.
When using a dishwasher, you must be careful to NOT allow the rim of one bowl to come in contact with another dish. Otherwise the water pressure may rock the bowl back and forth resulting in impact damage and chips to the rim. I suggest trying to move or wiggle the bowls by hand to check the range of motion while resting on your dishwasher's rack. With a little experimentation, you can find the right spots to load these bowls safely. This is mostly a problem when the bowls are at an angle. The best way to load them seems to be securely on their side. Just be sure they cannot move around and are not tipped back (which will trap water and soap).
Pyrex appears to change their manufacturing frequently, which one assumes is to improve the product. The color of their glassware has a darker blue-green tint than they did a few years back. The rim (lip) of their dishes have a more rounded edge than before. However, the issues I describe above are still present. It should be noted that the rim weakness usually only results in small chips and I have not yet had a "fault line" or deep crack start in one with normal use. With over 2 dozen of the 2-cup size bowls I have only had one casualty when it was dropped from about waist height onto a very hard floor.

Nice glass storage -- DON'T nest same-size bowls togetherJul 23, 2010
I recently ordered these, and am generally pleased with them. However, the box description claims that these bowls nest, but do that at your own risk. I nested two of the 2-cup size together, they got wedged, I tried gently to get them apart and some shards of glass chipped off the lip of one of them even with just gentle pressure.
Pyrex customer service was extremely helpful and shipped out two replacement bowls right away. The rep said that they recommend stacking with the lids on (of course, the word "nest" on their box implies that you don't need to do this), which is what I'll do from now on.
So, I still recommend the product, just don't try to nest bowls of the same size together.

 Happy With Pyrex!Jul 08, 2010
I love Pyrex everything! We are trying to get away from the use of so much plastic and disposables, so I purchased this set for home storage and for carrying our lunch to work. These are great! The lids seal tightly and we've had no leaks. I would advise against stacking these together though: I did have two get stuck and one of them chipped slightly getting them apart. I store them with the lids on to prevent this from happening again. I also love that these are American Made! I will be purchasing more sets of these.
Solid construction....happy i boughtJun 18, 2010
Pyrex is absolutely great. I got these on super sale.....but I would have definitely paid more. The lids seal very tight and will even hold in liquids which is great. Have gone through the dishwasher a few times now and there is no apparent wear at all. Love em and will be buying more in the future.
Useful storage setMay 28, 2010
Bought these to avoid heating plastic boxes in the microwave. The containers are of varied sizes to store different quantities of food in. They are very easy to wash. Initially the lids were a tad too tight. But with a few uses the fit has improved.
