The Pyrex Hot/Cold Unipack was designed for the Portables line of Pyrex products where either heat or cold is required. This pack can be either microwaved or frozen. There are many other applications of this product such as for use in lunch boxes or bags. Since they are flexible they will fit many needs.

Works as a hot pack. The microwave keeps on breaking down in the office & I was tired of eating cold lunches so tried this as an alternative heat source to keep my lunch warm in my frigid office. How cold is my office? If I bring a 1,1 qt Thermos with 6 ice cubes in the drink in the morning, open the cap & leave the cap off all day, sipping the drink, I still have 6 ice cubes when I go home. Keeps my lunch warm (I pack it in a small Coleman cooler) for 5-6 hours, not piping hot but warm. Now I hope it will last…
Very nice! I bought these as a replacement for some that came with my Pyrex Portables (the hot pack exploded in the microwave). I’ve used it only once and it did a great job keeping my dish hot on a 2-hour drive (of course, it was hot from the oven, as well). I hope it will hold up for many uses. I thought it was a good value and I like that I can either heat it up OR freeze it — I don’t have to use it for one OR the other, the way I had to with my old packs.
Not the same as the original packs These are not the same as the hot and cold packs I was replacing. They are super thin and floppy. I question whether Pyrex even actually made them. If they did, it wasn’t a wise decision. They seem very cheap compared to the original one which was maybe 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick and held its shape whether it was frozen or not. I’m very disappointed and would not recommend this item.
