Pyrex Easy Grab Glass Bakeware and Food Storage Set (8-Piece, BPA-Free)

Pyrex pan and bowl set. These are what you expect, glass pans with plastic lids. I am not a super fan of the lids, but it's good to have them if you need one. The other thing is - the handles - I have a love/hate thing going on with those. They are so handy when you need to carry them, take them in and out of the oven - the bummer, is trying to tote them around - in a cooler, or other. The handles just get in the way! Over all, I like a good quality glass pan. They wash well in the dishwasher. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. For some reason our shopper ranks are no longer visible - so, to give you a little more info about me, I am a top 50 reviewer (#30 the highest rank achieved). Those numbers used to fluctuate over time - up and down but I noticed that they stopped updating regularly - perhaps to phase them out. It's a shame because it did help you see who has been around the longest and who is a trustworthy reviewer.  I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - over 6,000 reviews posted, those reviews have been viewed well over 50,000 times, including well over 25,000 likes. Bottom line, I pay for all my stuff, just like you do.

Lid was chipped when I pulled it out of the box

They are easy to clean, and cooks thing perfect.

I have a few different sixes of these including the 8-piece set here (the one which comes with two small 1-cups, a square baking dish, and an oval baking dish, all with lids.) I absolutely love the Pyrex Easy Grab lineup; I use these everyday and recommend them to almost anyone. I bought my first set of these (before they were named Easy Grab) around what I would guess to be 15 years ago***. Two of them I have used daily and after thousands of cold-hot-bake-wash cycles, they still perform as well as the day I purchased them (and the lids still fit pretty tightly.)I will admit up-front that I am biased here because I strongly prefer strengthened glass materials for my kitchen. My top preference is borosilicate glass, but I find tempered glass such as the Pyrex Easy Grab line to also perform very well for my needs. The performance of the Pyrex Easy Grab, combined with the excellent value, is why I really like these. As a glass, it does not alter flavors. As a tempered glass, it's durable and capable of withstanding high-heat cooking/baking/cleaning. And as a set with a silicone lid, it works well with liquids.I also like the flexibility in available sizing & lids. Pyrex offers their Easy Grab line in practically any size you can dream up, and in 3 common shapes (circle, rectangle, and square.) So it's easy to find the sizes that work for you. As another plus, Pyrex offers a few different lid configurations, including one designed for liquids when on-the-go.The flexibility of Pyrex's lineup also is something I really like. If you need to bake, these Easy Grabs work very well (without the lids). If you need to microwave, these get the job done. When they are dirty, you can throw these in the dishwasher, wash on a high heat setting, and you're good to go. I might throw leftovers in the microwave or maybe the oven...having containers that can withstand whatever method I choose is a big convenience for me.So how can I not like these? They are versatile, convenient, and very reasonably priced given the quality product you are getting....===SIDE NOTE -- BOROSILICATE GLASS and the "EXPLODING PYREX"===***The Pyrex products I have which are around 15 years old were produced by a different manufacturer, using a different type of glass, than the Pyrex products currently available today.It may be worth noting that modern home-use Pyrex containers are NOT currently made from borosilicate glass. Up until around 2000, it was borosilicate, but it is now a tempered silica glass made by a different company. (Still, I find that Pyrex's Easy Grab lineup has great performance, but I figured I would note this as it initially caused me a lot of confusion.)That can raise interests in regards to the differences between the older borosilicate and the current soda lime silica glass. More-or-less, borosilicate glass is more heat-resistant and can better handle drastic temperature fluctuations, where as soda lime silica glass tends to be slightly more resistant to damage from shock. Borosilicate is also more expensive to produce, and the price of most borosilicate products reflects the higher materials & production costs (ex: Chef's Plant which makes outstanding borosilicate products, but ones that are certainly not cheap.)There have been some incidents of catastrophic failures of soda lime silica glass products made by Pyrex & Anchor, where as this is seemingly much less common with borosilicate products. Investigation on this topic found that the so-called "exploding Pyrex" was observed mainly with the newer soda lime silica glass. I do find that both borosilicate and soda lime silica glass products generally perform very well and I do not hesitate to use either for baking. But I am a little more cautious with the silica glass products when it comes to exposing the containers to more extreme temperature shock (the product literature included discusses this.)By using a silica glass, the Pyrex Easy Grab offers an incredible value to consumers and a product that performs very well. However, if your usage is going to be frequently exposing these containers to DRASTIC fluctuations in temp in a super-short time period, it may be worth considering borosilicate products for those applications (the downside being the price will most likely be higher.)

Great set and I wish I would have bought these years ago. Lids work great and seal much better than I expected. The handles are a bit bulky, but they make it easier to pull out of oven with oven mits/gloves on.
