Amazon.com Review
Transporting foods for lunches and picnics and storing leftovers for reheating is a cinch with the Pyrex Storage Plus set. Included in this set are two 2-cup rounds, one 3 1/2-cup rectangular, one 4-cup round, and one 6-cup rectangular storage piece, all glass, with plastic covers. Pyrex glass doesn't warp, stain, or absorb odors, and can be used in the oven, microwave, oven, refrigerator, or freezer for storing, reheating and serving. The set is easy to stack, so it takes up less cabinet space when not in use. The set includes a pamphlet with safety and use instructions, and each glass piece is covered by a two-year warranty. --Rhonda Langdon

Ouch! Way too hot to handle. - Reviewed on 2009-06-07

These containers and their accompanying lids work great for storage in the fridge and freezer, have no trouble in the oven and stand up time and again to the rigors of dishwashing, but don't try to handle them bare-handed out of the microwave. Something about the composition of the glass allows it to accumulate heat from the microwave oven to the point where the outer surfaces of the bowl are actually hotter than the food inside. Many times I've found the bowls to be so hot that the only way to remove them was with a glove or oven mit even while the food inside was only lukewarm. My hands are pretty tough and can take quite a lot of heat before I have to let go, but when I've microwaved anything in these bowls for more than a minute or so, I can't even touch it. Using gloves or mits works, but makes handling the smooth glass bowls rather awkward and hazardous. I've tried leaving the bowls in the microwave for a while to cool down before attempting to handle them, but if you wait long enough for the outer heat to dissipate, then the food inside gets cool as well.
I had purchased them mainly to store and reheat leftovers, but have found the overheating of the outer surface to be such a hindrance, that I've actually gone back to plastic.
If you really need bowls for microwave reheating, I'd look elsewhere, but if all you need is lidded cold or room temp food storage containers that can take the oven and dishwasher, then perhaps these are for you.
Really 5 pieces, but high quality - Reviewed on 2009-06-05

Just a heads up, this is five containers and five lids, hence the "10 piece set". Perhaps this is obvious, but I've seen it fool people in the past.
This is definitely a "what you see is what you get" situation. These are high quality pyrex tupperware containers, and the lids are robust. Be a little careful putting the lids in a dishwasher, they will crack and degrade over time. Other than that they do the job, they are durable, easy to clean, create a good seal, and are easy to stack in the fridge. Pyrex is far superior to any plastic tupperware, so it's worth the extra coin. No complaints.
