Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse in Canterbury was struggling with a mishmash of plastic containers that were staining and warping, making their food prep inefficient. They needed a uniform, durable solution for their popular range of salads and cooked fillings.
"We switched to the Pyrex containers and the difference was immediate. They look professional, they don't hold onto smells, and they go straight from the oven to the chiller. It’s simplified our whole operation and our staff are chuffed."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
By standardising with this glass food prep storage from Pyrex, The Lavender Bakehouse reduced their weekly prep time by over two hours and cut down on food waste thanks to the superior airtight seals.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash the container and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water before the first use.
- Check that the removable blue seal is seated correctly inside the lid to ensure an airtight fit.
- When stacking, ensure the containers are stable to prevent them from toppling over.
Keeping It Going
- To avoid thermal shock (cracking), don't take a hot dish from the oven and place it on a very cold or wet surface.
- The glass container is dishwasher safe, but it's best to place the lid on the top rack.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the glass over time.
- Periodically remove the seal from the lid for a deep clean to prevent any build-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the lid also oven safe?
A: No, the glass container itself is oven safe up to 300°C, but the plastic lid is not. You should always remove the lid before placing the container in the oven.
Q: Can I put this container in the freezer?
A: Yes, these Pyrex containers are freezer-safe. Just be sure to leave a little space at the top for liquids to expand as they freeze.
Q: Will it stain with things like tomato sauce or curry?
A: No, one of the biggest benefits of borosilicate glass is that it's non-porous and highly resistant to staining and retaining odours, unlike many plastic containers.
Q: How do I clean the removable seal in the lid?
A: The seal can be gently pulled out of the groove in the lid. Wash it with warm, soapy water and ensure it's completely dry before popping it back in.
Q: Is the glass completely smooth on the inside?
A: Yes, the interior is perfectly smooth, which prevents food from getting trapped and makes it incredibly easy to clean.
Q: Are these containers easy to stack when the lids are on?
A: Yes, they are designed with stackability in mind. The shape of the lid and base allows them to sit securely on top of one another.
Q: Can I use this in a microwave?
A: Yes, the glass dish is safe for microwave use. Remember to vent or remove the lid before microwaving to allow steam to escape.
Q: How durable is the glass against chips and cracks?
A: Pyrex borosilicate glass is tougher than standard glass and is designed for the demands of a kitchen. While not indestructible, it is very resistant to chipping with normal use.
