3. Operating Instructions

General Use:

• Use the bowls for mixing ingredients for baking, cooking, or preparing salads.
• The clear glass allows for easy monitoring of contents during mixing.

Microwave Use:

• Glass bowls are microwave safe. Lids are also microwave safe for reheating, but ensure the lid is vented to allow steam to escape.
• Avoid using lids in the microwave for extended periods or at high power settings to prevent warping.

Oven Use:

• Pyrex glass bowls are oven safe. Do not use plastic lids in the oven.
• Ensure the glass is at room temperature before placing it in a preheated oven. Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as placing a hot bowl on a cold surface or adding cold liquid to a hot bowl.

Food Storage:

• Use the plastic lids to store food in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Ensure lids are securely fastened to maintain freshness and prevent spills.

4. Maintenance and Care

Cleaning:

• Dishwasher Safe: Both glass bowls and plastic lids are dishwasher safe. Place lids on the top rack only to prevent warping.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the lids, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass or plastic.

Storage:

The bowls are designed to nest within each other for compact storage. Lids can be stacked separately or placed on their respective bowls for organized storage.

5. Troubleshooting

Lid Not Fitting Securely:

• Ensure you are using the correct lid for the bowl. Each lid is marked with its corresponding bowl size.
• Check for any food debris or damage on the rim of the bowl or the lid that might prevent a proper seal.

Glass Breakage:

• Pyrex glass is tempered for durability, but it can break if subjected to sudden, extreme temperature changes or severe impact.
• Avoid placing hot glass directly on cold surfaces or adding cold liquids to hot glass.
