Pyrex Portables Line of Products are Great for Keeping Food Cold and Hot

Do you go to a lot of dinners where you are expected to bring a dish with you? Are you always worried that your dish will arrive at the gathering cold? Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to ensure that your dish would arrive piping hot and wouldn't require a trip to the oven to be warmed? Have you ever taken a salad to a gathering only to open the bowl and realize that it is too warm to eat or even worse, the dressing has started to separate? Wouldn't it also be great if you could find a product that would help keep your salads cool and crisp during transport? Even better, wouldn't it be great if one product could be used for both occasions? Such a product does exist.

Manufactured by Pyrex, makers of great glass baking dishes, mixing bowls, and measuring cups, the Pyrex Portables line is a great investment for someone who attends a lot of pot-luck gatherings or family dinners. These handy products offer the ability to keep your hot foods hot and your cold foods cold for long periods of time. All Pyrex portables come with the Pyrex brand glass dishes and the corresponding lids that fit tightly over the dish. In addition the portables come with an insulated carrying case. This carrying case has a pocket in both the top and bottom portions of the bag. If you want to keep the food cold just freeze the included ice pack and place it in the pocket at the top part of the insulated bag. If you are worried about keeping your hot food hot simply microwave the included heat pack for the specified amount of time and place it in the bottom pocket of the insulated bag. With this item in your corner you will never again have to worry about your food not having the right temperature. Because the bag is insulated it will retain heat or cold for long periods of time. After you are finished using the Pyrex Portables simply store the hot and cold packs for future use. One set of these packs can last for years if you take care of them.

Pyrex portables are made to fit rectangular Pyrex dishes as well as the round Pyrex Bowls. I have a couple of sets of the rectangular Pyrex Portables and one set of the round Pyrex Portables and use them more than I ever imagined I would. I love these products so much that I often give the sets to friends and family as wedding gifts or even housewarming gifts.

Pyrex Portables can be found in many retailers nationwide including Wal-Mart, Target, and Meijer and retail for approximately $25-$40 depending on the size and shape of the dish inside. All Pyrex portables come with the baking dish/bowl, hot and cold pack, and the insulated bag with carrying handle. If you are looking for a gift or want to add a new item to your kitchen you should definitely consider the Pyrex Portables.
