Pyrex (2-Pack) Extra Large Glass Baking Dish Set With Lids and Handles, Oven and Freezer Safe

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.)

Pan holds up while at high temperatures and is easy to clean. The lid doesn’t warp after multiple uses, which is nice.

Great product. I have always loved Pyrex. These are so functional. Can use in stove, microwave, or storing food. The tops are an added plus. In fact, I pretty much only buy Pyrex that have lids.

Good size, great quality

Not much to say about these except they work! A few general thoughts:I got the 9x13 pan, the 8x8 pan, and the 2 bowls with lids for $25. At that price, this is a total steal. I frequently see pyrex 9x13 pans (without a lid!) at the grocery store/Target for about $15, so getting that plus the 8x8 plus the two small glass bowls plus lids for only $10 more is easily worth it.I know I've already mentioned the lids a few times, but these are seriously great. No more wasting aluminum or plastic wrap that goes straight in the trash. They are sturdy, easy to pop on/off, and are great for on-the-go transport.packaging/shipping: I know other reviews mentioned breakage in shipping, but I didn't have any issues. No scratches, chips, etc. from me.Also a note about the exploding pyrex in the oven. While that is definitely a valid concern, I don't think that should stop anyone from buying these. I have used pyrex for over a decade and never had this happen to me, or heard from any friends/family about it happening to them. It would definitely be terrible if it happens to you, but for me at least, the risk is so low that I'm not bothered by the possibility. If you are OK with that, these are a great choice for a pyrex set.

Love the handles, size and shape. Too bad it does not fit in my Breville countertop oven.

I use these baking dishes a lot for roasting vegetables. They are great size if you only have a small amount and bigger size for a large meal.They also come with a lid which you can use to store food if you dont finish the meals. They look very clear from outside and can bake very with well with the oven heat. They can be used for multiple functions as well

I love this style of Pyrex container. Silicon top. Stacks easily. Cleans easily. Keeps your food fresh.These are 2 quart, but rectangular and not as deep as I like. I wanted the square ones because they fit my shelves better. I gave them away and bought the ones I wanted.
