Pyrex Simply Store 1-Cup Single Glass Food Storage Container with Plastic Lid

Great size, sturdy, quality glass. Excellent alternative to plastic

I love it!!! Perfect little glass storage. I use them every day for leftovers.

I'm going to be fair. My use for this product is way off lable. I use it to acclimate pet shrimp to their new tank. That said, using a dish like this is a common way to do that, so in case that's what you're buying it for, its quality depends on the size bag you get your shrimp in. This dish is really small. For the large bags it's a little hard. Figure the size you get from most local fish stores. There is more water than the dish can handle and it's possible to have a shrimp go right over the edge if you just pour it over the sink or something so that's not an option. My workaround is to use a straight pin to pop a hole in the bag and let some of the water out that way until it's low enough to pour into this. If you're using the small bags, say what some but not all online fish vendors use for shrimp, then this is exactly what you need. The larger ones won't work because the water level will be too low for the shrimp. This is ideal for that. If it's mixed, sometimes buy one way and sometimes the other, then I'd stick with this. It's easier to drain some than to work around there being too little if you can't just randomly add more. That is the point of acclimation after all. For food, this would be the size I'd use to take lunch to work if that helps. For the quality of the dish itself, obviously I haven't tried putting it in the microwave, but I did lid it with water in it and some moss balls (thankfully no animals) and it took a header off a table thanks to a curious cat. It landed on carpeting. It didn't break. The lid did not come off. It did not leak. I like how sturdy it is and how securely the lid stays on.

Excellent Storage Glass Item with the cover, which can be used for Baking. I like Pyrex brand and I already two of these but because of the compact size, I bought another one. I think that the size is deceiving; it can really hold a lot of food. Excellent value.

I bought several of these specifically for use in a HotLogic Mini and have not used any of them in an oven. One of them slightly melted in the dishwasher, but they're great other than that. A HotLogic doesn't get as hot as an oven, so there's no worry about them shattering like other reviewers have experienced when they used them in an oven. This is about as cheap as Pyrex gets, and you may get one that's flawed like I did, but they're not expensive, so it's not like you're risking a lot of money. The flawed one I received melted slightly on the lip, so the lid won't seal anymore, but I decided to use it to collect the moisture when I put meat out on the counter to thaw. It's fine for that and hasn't melted anymore after repeated cycles in the dishwasher. The melted one is no longer good for cooking with if the lid is necessary, but I found another use for it so it's all good. The others I ordered have not melted at all. They've survived repeated use in the HotLogic and several dishwasher cycles.

I love these glass bowls, they are great for warming up food and storing smaller of amounts of leftovers. The glass is thick and the lids seal as they should. The quality is great.

I have the 6-cup rectangular dish with the red lid. I am a longtime fan of Pyrex glass. Pyrex beakers in my chemistry graduate lab lasted longer than the other brands and were better at withstanding heat. Pyrex bakeware is thick, tough, and sturdy. And I use smaller Pyrex containers to store leftovers in the refrigerator. They can't be stained by tomato sauce the way plastic can, and I feel safer reheating out of glass as opposed to plastic. So I was predisposed to like this, although I purchased it for an unusual purpose unrelated to food. I have recently gotten into working with copper and wanted to try acid etching. It is generally acceptable to use either a plastic or a glass dish to store the etchant solution (ferric chloride, in my case). (You don't want to use metal because the ferric chloride will etch the metal container as well, eating right through it...) But this container is just perfect for my needs. I am working with smaller pieces, generally blanks and strips (that I may form into bracelets later on). So they fit nicely inside here. The lid fits securely for storage when I am done, without evaporation. Plus, this is heavy and sturdy and will not be swept off a work table easily (not that you shouldn't follow appropriate safety practices, regardless). Because of how I have used this with chemicals, I will not be putting it in my kitchen. But this appears to be of the same quality of all my (much-loved and much-used) other Pyrex bakeware and I would feel confident using it that way, had I purchased it for that reason. This dish is dishwasher and microwave safe (I don't put the lids of these in the microwave and if you read the product listing carefully, it says "top rack dishwasher safe" and does not mention the microwave for the lid; I find these lids to do OK on the bottom rack of the dishwasher if you don't use a heated drying cycle) and easy to clean. I do not know if the lid is leak proof. With ferric chloride solution inside, I don't really want to test that by turning it over. I have not seen evaporation so far, as discussed above, but it has been a short time since I started using it so I can't say what would happen over a period of months. Also, be sure you know what variety you are getting, since there are multiple items with different sizes and lid colors listed on the product page. In general, I find the lids on the largest food storage containers to be poorer than the lids on the smaller food storage containers in terms of fit, long-term quality of use, etc., although the lid on my container is acceptable. Overall, though, the dish I purchased was excellent for my purposes and the quality matches my other Pyrex storage containers.

Does the job well. Great quality.
