Re: Pyrex Isn't Heat Resistant

[Guest guest]

Wow, thanks for this!

I was wondering why some of my Pyrex measuring cups were starting to

chip. I also had two baking pans shatter (NOT fun). :-(

At least now we know. I'm going to keep my eyes open for vintage

(pre-1998) Pyrex.

Here's a good site on how to tell vintage Pyrex (what it looks like)

and where to buy it:

Thanks, Ann!

Pyrex, fwiw, still makes their labware with borosilicate, so my kitchen is

going to start to take on the look of a science lab.
