Pyrex® Easy Grab, Bakeware Set, Red, 28-Piece

Pyrex got better! This set has it all. What a great wedding present or replacement set this would be. The lids now fit tight on the bowls and are a much better plastic than the past. The new shapes of the bowls are appealing as well. They are not as slanted at the bottom which makes for less spilling and overflow when stirring. They also changed the handles on the baking dishes to have a slot providing a better grip when hot or hand washing. Feeling secure when grabbing a hot dish out of the oven is nice. I think the glass is heavier now which gives the feeling of quality and makes them more stable when mixing. I don't know how they did it, but they seem to store nicer than the old ones. Take up less space. If you are planning on shipping these as a gift, they are wellpacked and will make the trip just fine. One could have this sent right to the home or as a gift with Walmart's free or low cost shipping.

I usually hate re-designs -not this time! My old Pyrex roaster/baking pan cracked (after 10 years of heavy use) so when these came up for review I jumped on them. The re-design on the baking pans handles is genius, I used the large one tonight & it was MUCH easier to remove the pan from the oven. after the pan cooled the lid was snapped on & stored in fridge for lunch. The lids are a hefty weighted plastic. Every piece has a lid, and they nest nicely - the lids for the bake pans fit in the bottom so I won't loose them. Every piece is the heavy duty Pryrex I love, and the bowls are weighted so no tipping easily. I'm definitively going to get the newer square ones before my old ones fail, I love the handles!
