Good Quality
I was misunderstand when I purchase this item. it is 14 pieces rather than 14 boxes...So I was a little bit tricked to buy this set. But the quality is good. chipped This storage system would have worked wonderfully. Great sizes, 14 pieces...however..the items were packed so poorly (not by UPS), but by the manufacturer. There was only some paper and a piece of cardboard to separate the items. This caused the item to arrive w/2 chips. If tbe packing would have been sufficient, the product probably would have been great. Good solid containers Pyrex storage containers are clean and stand the test of time. The lids are thick and tight. I rank them highest in terms of quality. Wonderful product but keep away from stove top. First, let me say I purchased this set in October 2007. I was thrilled with the thickness of the glass and the durability of the lids. I use them daily for cooking and storage. I have had no issues whatsoever with quality until this evening when one of the glass dishes shattered as it was sitting on our glass top stove. Or rather, it EXPLODED because glass flew all across the range, counters, on the floor - HUGE MESS! I was quite shocked because I had used all the glass bowls in the microwave, in the oven, fridge, and washed them in the dishwasher on sanitize without even the smallest issue arising. This particular bowl was sitting on the stove, next to the burner that was on and it just shattered. I had pulled it from the cabinet and just added refried beans to microwave. I'm wondering if after a year of use, the quality somehow diminishes - though I really hope that isn't the case because I really like using the bowls. I would advise that you check your glass bowls regularly for any cracks, etc. that might weaken it. It could be there was an issue that I didn't catch. As for normal storage, these bowls are the best! After all the scare about plastics, we switched completely to glass. They are much easier to clean, stack very well, do not have that nasty residue that happens to plastic as it ages and it's Earth friendly because you aren't replacing them as often as you would plastic. They also don't warp like plastic and thankfully, neither do the lids! I came to see if there were any other reviews like mine, and did not read any issues that were similar to the glass exploding like it had with me. I am hoping that it was just a freak accident and will not happen again, but thought I would post in case someone had a similar experience. I am still pleased with the product for storage and will continue to use it as such. Not so sure about using it in the microwave or in the oven again just yet. I researched pricing at the time of purchase last year and am pleased to report that it was then and still is now the cheapest price available. SHOULD HAVE KEPT THIS FOR ME.... Ordered this set just to use up some coupons & needed a housewarming gift.When it was opened by the recipients,i was sorry i hadn`t kept it for myself and given them something else.This was a well made ,sturdy set and they liked it very much. | |
