Are these Pyrex containers the same quality as those sold at Macys?

Ditto Gene Giddings' response. I bought this container from Amazon because I could not find this size locally. Am very satisfied with the fit of this lid - no spills or messes. The container holds up well to travel in a cooler, or to heat leftovers in the microwave.

I can't speak for the containers sold at Macy's. However, I can tell you that my wife was very satisfied with the pyrex we bought from Amazon. They seem to be of very good quality and the covers fit very tight. We are Very happy with them. Hope this helps.

I suspect Pyrex is Pyrex no matter where you go to purchase it. Since I did not buy these at Macy's there is no way I can address this question, other than to say Pyrex is sold in many different stores.

The packaging for mine was just a shrink-wrap plastic around all three containers. There was no separate Pyrex box.These are very nice containers though (and at a good price).

If you mean container box where you insert the pyrex in to keep warm....answer is no. They come as shown. These are really nice.

Because it is not clearly marked, I wouldn't assume that they are microwave safe. My Pyrex bowls are all marked safe for microwave, for example. They are rather thin, so on the plus side each piece is lightweight, but not as durable as something heavier. I guess that's the trade off.

They are available online at Pyrex Outlet Stores. http://www.pyrexware.com/pyrex-lids/?q=4%20cup

Yes they are. The short handles also make it easy to store them. I thought our cheap ones were just fine until we bought these. There is no comparison.

Not sure how to answer this... These are the same as my original set -- fairly sturdy and work well. The lids are pliable but I wouldn't call them "thin thin thin". I have no complaints.

I just checked the French made bowls by Aplico which look the same as the German A. Krupp brand and the bowls are listed as microwave, oven, dishwasher and freezer safe, both are professional grade porcelain.

Yes, they are. They are wonderful. I use them for medicines, condiments etc. They last for a long time too, without staining and peeling.

They seem to be the same. No problem with the quality, wish I would have bought more.

Sure! These are made of clear plastic. They are thicker & more durable than the containers I have gotten from the supermarket deli. They are microwave safe & the recycle # at the bottom is "5". The manufacturer does not advertise them as BPA safe, so I assume that they not. Hope that helps!

Not sure. They are much better than the older ones. They are thicker and stain resistant. No more pasta sauce rings as I got with the older cheaper ones. Well worth the extra cost. And yes the lids are the same size as the old ones.

Yes they are. I just love my set. To keep them like new all you have to do is season them twice a year by coating the inside with cooking oil, heating until they begin to smoke, let them cool, wipe out excess oil and they are good to go with no sticking great cooking! The glass lids are so perfect and make it so easy to keep an eye on what's cooking!

According to the World Kitchen website (CORNINGWARE and PYREX are registered trademarks of Corning Incorporated used under license by World Kitchen, LLC.), the lids are BPA free.

The important factor is if it is a true "Trade Marked" Pyrex product. True pyrex has baked in numbers/letters/graduations and are never prone to wear, tear, scuffs, scratches or chemical degradation, and that is what this product has for markings. You cant even scratch them off with a sharp knife using concerted effort. It's the real deal! Great quality, nice heft, just like my first one lost to a divorce. This will last a lifetime.Cheers,Jim

I don't really know - I bought my sets direct from Amazon, and I LOVE them by the way, they are great! I they are sturdy but not heavy, work great in the microwave, and clean up easily. i have12 each of the plates, soup bowls & small plates. I use them all more than my regular dishes! Good luck! :-)

I don't know...the containers were exactly the same as what I purchased at Whole Foods.
