Discover the sizes and capacities of the Pyrex Simply Store 6-Piece Food Storage Container Set and find out exactly what fits inside each glass container.
Quick answer
The Pyrex Simply Store 6-Piece Food Storage Container Set includes three round containers (1-cup, 2-cup, and 4-cup) and three lids, making it ideal for individual portions, side dishes, and small leftovers.
What each container holds
The 1-cup round container is perfect for single servings of dips, sauces, or baby food. The 2-cup size works well for a side salad, leftover rice, or a small portion of soup. The 4-cup round container fits a generous main dish portion or a medium-sized meal prep component like roasted vegetables or pasta.
All containers are made from durable Pyrex glass, so you can mix, heat, serve, and store in the same dish. The glass is non-porous and won't absorb stains or odors from foods like tomato sauce or curry.
Keep in mind that the set only includes round shapes. If you need rectangular or divided containers for lunchboxes or meal prep with separate compartments, you may want to look at other Pyrex sets.
Lid compatibility and sealing
Each container comes with a matching BPA-free plastic lid that snaps on securely. The lids are not interchangeable with other Pyrex container sizes, so it's important to keep each lid with its correct container.
The lids are microwave-safe (for reheating) and dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended). They are not oven-safe. For oven use, remove the lid and use only the glass base.
Decision rules for choosing this set
- Portion sizes: Use the 1-cup for single dips or sauces, 2-cup for sides or small leftovers, and 4-cup for main dishes or meal prep. Match the container size to your typical portion to avoid waste.
- Heating instructions: Glass base is oven-safe up to 425°F (with lid removed). Lids are microwave-safe but not oven-safe. Always remove the plastic lid before oven use.
- Stacking and storage: Round containers stack neatly when empty, but the lids do not lock together. Store lids separately or place them upside down on the containers. Plan for lid storage to keep your kitchen organized.
