| ms_pookie's Full Review: Pyrex 1-cup Dish with Plastic Cover |
I love Pyrex.
My husband thinks I'm obsessed with Pyrex ... I know I am! I have switched out all of our plastic "tupperware-like" containers for Pyrex. I love that Pyrex products are sturdy and durable and I love, love, love that they're still made in the USA.
The Product
The Pyrex 1-cup dish with plastic cover is the smallest size in the line of round Pyrex cups with covers. It measures approximately 3.75 inches in diameter and 2 inches in height. The dish and lid together retails for between $3.99 to $7.99.

My Experience
The Pyrex 1-cup dish with plastic cover is a convenient addition to my collection of Pyrex.
The 1-cup dish holds ... one cup of food. It's not a large amount, but it's sufficient and helps me with portion control. I use it to bring yogurt to work because I purchase the bulk yogurt and divide it up into smaller portions for the week, rather than buying individual yogurts. I also use the Pyrex 1-cup dish with plastic cover to hold salsa if I am bringing chips and salsa to work, or sometimes I use it to hold a little bit of salad dressing, since I don't like putting acidic salad dressing into plastic containers.
The Pyrex 1-cup dish with plastic cover is very sturdy and durable. It has endured many bumps and has not cracked or chipped. The glass is safe for microwave, oven, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher safe. I have used the dish in the microwave and fridge/freezer, but not the oven or dishwasher. I rarely bake anything and I do my dishes by hand. The Pyrex 1-cup dish will not disappoint in terms of durability; I have had mine for a few years and it still looks brand new. It doesn't have any scratches on it nor does it have chips. The lid is BPA free and still seals well even after a few years of use. Like the other Pyrex dishes, the lid will eventually need replacement when it no longer seals tightly over the dish.
I like that the Pyrex 1-cup dish is made out of glass. I am no longer microwaving or using plastic containers to store food, for fear of plastic being heated up with my food. Though the drawback of using the Pyrex 1-cup dish is that it is heavier than its plastic alternative, I will gladly choose the Pyrex 1-cup dish because the glass is non-reactive and does not absorb ordors or stains.
Purchasing Pyrex individually usually is more costly than purchasing it in a set. The dish retails for $3.99 on the Pyrex website and about $7.99 on Amazon. A set of 18 piece round Pyrex dishes retails for about $29.99.
Overall Thoughts
I am very pleased with the Pyrex 1-cup dish because it is another high quality piece of Pyrex. The Pyrex 1-cup dish is versatile, durable, safe, and helps with portion control.
Thanks for reading.
