How to Replace a Pyrex Blue Lid for 11-Cup Food Storage

Quick answer

Replace your Pyrex blue lid by ordering the Pyrex Blue Lid for 11-cup Rectangular Food Storage Container (model 7212). It fits the 11-cup Simply Store glass base and provides a secure seal.

Steps to replace your Pyrex blue lid

1. Confirm your container size: Check the bottom of your Pyrex glass container for the capacity marking. It should read '11-cup' or '2.6 L'. If the marking is worn, measure the length and width: the 11-cup rectangular base is approximately 12.5 x 8.5 inches. Mistake: Using a lid from a different size container. It may not seal or could crack.
2. Order the correct replacement lid: Purchase the Pyrex Blue Lid for 11-cup Rectangular Food Storage Container (model 7212). It is available separately and costs less than a full set. Check the listing for model number 7212 to avoid ordering the wrong lid.
3. Inspect the lid before use: When your new lid arrives, check for any cracks, warping, or defects. Wash it with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before first use. A damaged lid may not seal properly, so test it with a small amount of water before storing food.
4. Fit the lid onto the container: Place the lid on the rim of the glass container. Press down evenly around the edges until you hear a soft click. The lid should sit flat and not rock. If the lid is difficult to close, do not force it. Double-check that you have the correct size.
5. Test the seal: Fill the container with water, close the lid, and tilt it gently over the sink. No leaks should appear. For dry storage, shake the closed container lightly. A successful seal means your lid is working correctly. If it leaks, the lid may be defective or the wrong size.
