Pyrex With Plastic Storage Lid

[TheDevil]

Anyone had / have any of these?

Is the glass and plastic lid microwavable?

[Tuvok]

I would assume so.

Those lids look quite different to the ones I have.

The ones I have are rehomed from someone who had them quite a while, so I think they'd like an old version.
I have one glass roast tray style with plastic lid and one round one.

they look a bit like these

There are a number of different Pyrex ranges.
Maybe the descriptions on this link will help...

I notice your link doesn't mention microwave, but says suitable for reheating if lid is not fixed down.

[TheDevil]

Thank you Pasta.

It looks like the lids I have are part of the pyrex Cook & Freeze range.

Any info on these freeze lids if they're microwave safe?

[pastafreak]

The Cook and Freeze in my link looks similar...lid to be removed for reheating.

[pastafreak]

Ha...cross posted ;)

[Apc2604]

As per Pasta. Just make sure the lid is not not fixed down.

I don’t use the lids in microwave or oven. I use Cling film in microwave, tin foil in oven

[bednobs]

the glass is microwaveable

[AuntPollyGrey]

I wouldn't use the plastic storage lids in the microwave, from experience they can warp.

[TheDevil]

Cheers Pasta and everyone else.

I'll use cling film in microwave and tinfoil in oven if need be, will leave the lids for the freezer.

[bhg481]

Why not just stick a plate over it - saves on the recycling.

[TheDevil]

Cus then i've got t wash up the plate ;)

[AuntPollyGrey]

Cling film should be banned :-(
Greaseproof paper will do the job if you can't be *** to rinse a plate under the tap .

[AuntPollyGrey]

That wasn't even a swear word! lol!

[TheDevil]

"Cling film should be banned :-("

No it shouldn't. It's fantastic in the kitchen. It should be modified to be biodegradable.

[TheDevil]

I'd use tinfoil for covering things personally as it's a bit more riged and can be shaped to sit nicely on top of things

[AuntPollyGrey]

I use unbleached greaseproof paper for wrapping things and its great as it lets food 'breathe'. Cling film was only invented in the 1970's I think, its awful stuff and I seriously think in the near future it will be banned.

[douglas9401]

Not that it matters much but clingfilm was invented in the 1940s.

And that's a wrap.
