The Pyrex name carries a lot of weight, and this container shows why. It’s the definition of a kitchen staple.

For any chef serious about food safety and efficiency, this is a no-brainer investment.

- Con: It's heavier than plastic, which is something to consider during busy service.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch Bistro in York was struggling with plastic containers that were staining from tomato-based sauces and retaining odours, compromising their food presentation. They switched to the Pyrex CZ082 for all their fresh pasta sauces and marinades.
"Honestly, the difference is night and day. The Pyrex containers look professional, they clean perfectly every time, and we know our sauces taste exactly as they should. Our prep station looks cleaner and our chefs are happier."
Robert Evans – Head Chef
The switch completely eliminated cross-contamination of flavours and resulted in a more streamlined, hygienic prep and storage system.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash the container, lid, and seal thoroughly in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Ensure the silicone seal is correctly fitted inside the lid groove for an airtight fit.
- Always check the glass for any chips or cracks before use, especially before heating.
Keeping It Going
- The glass base, lid, and seal are all dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- For stubborn baked-on food, soak the glass base in warm water rather than using harsh abrasive scourers.
- To prolong its life, avoid placing a hot glass dish directly onto a cold or wet surface.
- The lid is NOT oven or microwave safe; always remove it before heating the container.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the plastic lid also oven safe?
A: No, only the glass base of the container is oven safe up to 300°C. Always remove the lid before placing it in the oven or microwave.
Q: Can I put this container in the freezer?
A: Yes, the entire container, including the lid, is freezer safe. It's perfect for batch-prepping and storing meals.
Q: Will the glass stain if I store tomato sauce or curry in it?
A: No. Unlike plastic, glass is non-porous, so it won't absorb food stains, odours, or flavours. It will clean up perfectly every time.
Q: Is the seal in the lid removable for cleaning?
A: Yes, the silicone seal can be easily removed. This allows you to clean both the seal and the lid's groove thoroughly, ensuring maximum hygiene.
Q: Is this container fully airtight?
A: Yes, when the lid is secured correctly with the seal in place, it creates an airtight environment that keeps food fresher for longer.
Q: What is borosilicate glass?
A: It's a type of glass that is highly resistant to thermal shock (sudden temperature changes), which is why it can safely go from the fridge to a hot oven.
Q: Is the container heavy?
A: At 1.87kg, it is heavier and more substantial than a plastic container of the same size, which is a sign of its durability and quality.
Q: Can I stack these containers when full?
A: Yes, the strong, flat lid and sturdy base are specifically designed to be stacked, helping you to save space in your commercial kitchen.

Ever wondered why you can take this container from a cold fridge and place it in a hot oven without it cracking? The secret is its borosilicate glass construction. Think of regular glass like a sprinter – it's great at one temperature but struggles with sudden changes. A sudden shift from cold to hot can cause it to 'pull a muscle' and shatter. Borosilicate glass, on the other hand, is like a seasoned marathon runner; it's built for endurance and can handle drastic temperature changes thanks to the addition of boron trioxide in its makeup. This 'thermal shock resistance' is what makes your Pyrex container so incredibly versatile and reliable, allowing you to streamline your cooking process without worrying about damaging your equipment.
