Pyrex is known for its sturdy kitchenware, and this food container set is no exception. The containers and lids can withstand drops onto kitchen tiles, microwaves, freezers and ovens. The color-coded lids also make organization easy. In our test kitchen, we liked the color-coded lids for organization, as well as the fact that we could use these glass containers in the oven.

What reviewers didn't like

Lids are not microwave-safe despite being advertised as such. Containers get very hot in the microwave
Not all of the containers in this set are leakproof, so these are not the best option for prepping meals to bring to work or school. Though the round containers didn’t leak any water in our tests, we’d still exercise caution if you intend to use them to transport liquids.
Occasional cracking or warping of the lids was an issue for some
Lids aren’t safe for the freezer or microwave.
