The only plastic containers we have is for DH's lunch, but they have plates by the microwave at his work, so pours his lunch onto those instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-382838 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 00:47:16 +0000 pinkcupcake 382838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Glasslock and Pyrex.

My local homestore often sells them buy one, get one half off. They're not cheap, for sure. I just bought a few one month and then more here and there. I really like them. I also have little glass containers to put in my toddler's lunch box when we go out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-381218 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:22:35 +0000 ladyfingers 381218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some vintage pyrex pieces I use, or we heat stuff up in a bowl. Our regular plates have metal edging on them so we can't use those. We have regular non-metal plates and bowls at work so I'll just transfer stuff from the plastic Tupperware to heat it up. I use plastic to store -- but not to heat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-381217 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:22:14 +0000 mrsjyw 381217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, LOVE pyrex. we have lunch dishes and big casserole dishes that we use fairly regularly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-380758 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 08:40:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 380758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Pyrex!

I just bought a bunch recently and threw out all my nasty plastic ones. I get them from: <a href="http://www.shopworldkitchen.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopworldkitchen.com</a><br /> Which has a location at the outlet mall near my parents house. They always have some sale on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-380323 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:55:21 +0000 Boogs 380323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Pyrex!

There's usually great deals on sets every now and then on Amazon and during black Friday Kohls or Target usually has a deal. TJMaxx and Home Good has individual Anchor glassware for a pretty good price too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-380268 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:34:30 +0000 prettylizy 380268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I'm a big fan of glass storing-ware. We do have some plastic stuff still, but as I replace it, we've been going with glass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-380252 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:31:03 +0000 Dr. Pepper 380252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always seen great deals on pyrex sets the day after thanksgiving. I see them for $10-$20 (with mail in rebate) at our department stores. I have tons of pyrex. I have the small storage bowl, the mixing bowls, measuring cups, and bakeware. I love pyrex! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379574 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 15:01:37 +0000 mrs. bird 379574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: i bought a 14 piece set this morning for $7.49 from amazon warehouse! it's gone now though =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379514 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:45:32 +0000 Andrea 379514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: thanks!!

Use and love Pyrex. They can chip occasionally in the dishwasher, but other than that I have no complaints! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379502 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:43:42 +0000 T-Mom 379502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Pyrex or glass for heating and plastic only for cold items. The main downside is that dropping a Pyrex is a huge PITA... Have had a few small ones fall out of my dish rack and it was terrible to clean up.. Small shards, fine particles etc. Scary with little babies crawling around. Now I'm hyper careful... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379464 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:34:51 +0000 mrs. bird 379464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we do! i love that i can cook, serve, store, &amp; reheat in the same containers! </p> <p>i will warn that pyrex has changed over the years. someone told me (i haven't researched this myself, so i'm not positive this is accurate, but i believed them) there are two kinds &amp; the old school better version is still made in the UK but, like most things, we use a cheaper version here in the US. we bought a set of martha stewart brand, it had a green tint that i liked, and i made a casserole, DH took it out of the oven and placed it on our stovetop (which hadn't been used so it was a little warm from the oven being on, but wasn't hot or cold), where it exploded into tiny chunks of glass that went flying everywhere. fortunately he wears glasses &amp; wasn't hurt, but it was a nightmare to clean up after &amp; dinner was ruined. i'm still finding little pieces! so while i'd trust pyrex brand, i'd be weary of discounted brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379461 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:34:18 +0000 mediagirl 379461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still use plastic for leftovers but we heat things up on plates - either paper or ceramic. I love my Pyrex baking dishes/measuring cups/bowls, though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379417 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:24:45 +0000 immabeetoo 379417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea @crash806 also check out amazon warehouse deals <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=me%3DA2L77EE7U53NWQ&#038;field-keywords=pyrex" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=me%3DA2L77EE7U53NWQ&#038;field-keywords=pyrex</a> for cheaper prices :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379398 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:20:23 +0000 Andrea 379398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love them! Thanks for all the tips on getting discounts. I need to get some more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379397 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:20:01 +0000 Mrsbells 379397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I do love pyrex. I dont put plastic in the microwave either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379387 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:17:58 +0000 immabeetoo 379387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE Pyrex. Assuming you're looking on Amazon, I'd suggest buying 2 10 piece sets <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pyrex-Storage-10-Piece-Clear-Blue/dp/B00005B8K5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1352142947&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=pyrex+20+piece+set" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Pyrex-Storage-10-Piece-Clear-Blue/dp/B00005B8K5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1352142947&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=pyrex+20+piece+set</a> than the 20 piece set. It is cheaper, and you end up with fewer of the tiny circles, which we use least often.</p> <p>We use ours like crazy and have just added more and more of them - I use them to freeze stuff, lunches, leftovers, etc. I hand wash the lids. I just used a "bake and store" for the first time as well for lasagna, it was awesome!</p> <p>If you want to price compare, I know Bed Bath &amp; Beyond has them (20% coupon) and Kohls (coupons, depending on if you have their credit card). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379383 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:17:22 +0000 lavender 379383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions @zippylef @Shutterbug </p> <p>Yeah I was concerned with the no potholder's/hot issue while at work. Hmm guess I'll need to bring potholder's with me LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379382 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:17:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 379382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE pyrex!! I suggest signing up for the BBB email list, they send you a 20% coupon :)</p> <p>I need some more glass containers as well and was waiting for get another coupon so get some. We have some plastic ones - the glad snap ones and we like those for storing food but we never heat them.<br /> I like pyrex because they double as cookware in addition to storage. They're made really well too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379367 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:14:49 +0000 tororojo 379367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does it have to be Pyrex or are other glass containers okay? We have some glass prep bowls w/lids from Kohl's that I love and also a set of slightly larger glass bowls w/lids that came from either Ross or Marshall's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379327 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:05:12 +0000 loveisstrange 379327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IKEA has cheap glass containers too, I believe. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379316 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:02:30 +0000 Shutterbug 379316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched all my tupperware/plastic containers to glass containers. I got a bunch at TJ Maxx/Home Goods, and some from my registry via Crate &amp; Barrel (these: <a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/set-of-12-storage-bowls-with-clear-lids/f33113)" rel="nofollow">http://www.crateandbarrel.com/set-of-12-storage-bowls-with-clear-lids/f33113)</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379313 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:02:04 +0000 Alivoo01 379313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like mrs brewer mentioned, pyrex is awesome in that it doesn't stain nor retain the smell, but get extremely hot when you reheat them in the microwave. If I'm at home, I'll use Pyrex, but for work, I still use plastic ones because I don't have potholders at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379303 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 13:57:24 +0000 MrsBrewer 379303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I looove Pyrex. The only thing that really sucks is that when you warm up food in them, the whole thing gets soooo hott! But they are better than plastic containers because they don't hold in smells either, and don't stain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-pyrex#post-379298 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 13:56:40 +0000 loveisstrange 379298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Pyrex measuring cups and baking dishes but I buy the cheapie ziploc tupperware stuff that I can toss without guilt if I forget it in the back of the fridge. lol </p>
