We’ve all been there. Staring into a sea of mismatched, stained plastic containers and chipped ceramic bowls, feeling more “meh” than “MasterChef”. But what if your kitchen tools didn’t just work, what if they actually made you smile?
The Pyrex® Colours Sculpted Mixing Bowl and the Pyrex® Colour Simply Store collection. These aren’t just your grandmother’s glass dishes (though she definitely knew what she was doing with Pyrex!). This is a vibrant, modern upgrade that brings a pop of personality to your benchtop and a whole lot of organisation to your fridge.
What we like
The Sculpted Aesthetic: The mixing bowls feature beautiful, curved ridges that aren’t just for show—they provide a better grip when you’re whisking up a storm.
Non-Porous Glass: The best part? Pyrex glass doesn’t absorb food odours, flavours, or stains. Your spicy chilli won’t leave a ghost of its scent in your morning fruit salad.
A Rainbow of Organisation: The Simply Store lids come in gorgeous hues, making it easy to colour-code your life (blue for leftovers, green for veggies, red for “don’t touch, this is mine!”).
Tough as Nails: From the microwave to the dishwasher, these pieces are built to handle the heat and the daily hustle.
Recipe 1: The “Sunshine” Citrus Pasta Salad
Best for the Pyrex® Colours Sculpted Mixing Bowl
This salad is as bright as the bowl it’s made in. The ridges on the Sculpted bowl make it the perfect vessel for tossing heavy pasta without losing your grip.
Ingredients:
- 500g rotini pasta (cooked and cooled)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 yellow capsicum, diced
- Dressing: Whisk together 60ml olive oil, the juice of 2 lemons, 1 tbsp honey, and plenty of fresh basil.
Method:
- In your Sculpted Mixing Bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients first.
- Add the pasta and veggies.
- Use the bowl’s wide rim to give it a vigorous toss until every noodle is glistening. Serve it right out of the bowl—it’s stylish enough to be the centrepiece!
Recipe 2: Overnight “Rainbow” Roasted Veggies
Best for Pyrex® Colour Simply Store
Meal prep doesn’t have to be boring. Use the rectangular Simply Store containers to marinate and keep your veggies crisp.
Ingredients:
- Chopped sweet potatoes, zucchini, and red onion.
- Toss with balsamic glaze, garlic, and rosemary.
Method:
- Pack your chopped veggies into the Simply Store glass container.
- Snap on the airtight lid. The tight seal helps the marinade penetrate the veggies faster.
- When you’re ready to eat, roast them at 200°C for 25 minutes.
How Long Can You Keep It?
One of the biggest questions in the kitchen is: “Is this still good?” Because Pyrex uses high-quality glass and airtight lids, your food stays fresher for longer than in flimsy plastic. Here is a quick guide for your Simply Store containers:
- Cooked Grains/Pasta: 3–5 days (fridge), 1–2 months (freezer)
- Roasted Vegetables: 3–4 days (fridge), 6 months (freezer)
- Fresh Leafy Greens: 5–7 days (fridge)
- Cooked Proteins (Chicken/Beef): 3–4 days (fridge), 2–3 months (freezer)
- Soups & Stews: 4 days (fridge), 4–6 months (freezer)
Pro Tip: Always let your food cool to room temperature before snapping the lid on and popping it in the fridge. This prevents condensation and keeps your textures perfect.
Whether you’re whisking, tossing, or storing, these Pyrex gems make the process feel like a party.
