Pyrex Kitchenwares Still Hot Sellers

The Corning Glass Works Company introduced Pyrex ovenware in 1915, licensing several glass companies to produce its product. In 1936, Pyrex Flameware was available which expanded Pyrex from baking to stovetop. Corning Ware was introduced in 1958.

I have my own thoughts regarding Pyrex. I love the "old" but wouldn't considering buying any of the new.

There are many, many complaints, numerous lawsuits in regards to the "new" Pyrex blowing up. Perhaps a selling point for those that have the older, Corelle made, Pyrex.

Lisia,

i do not have personal experience with using older Pyrex dishes in the oven or Microwave but I do cook in newer Pyrex dishes i have cracked a dish or two when I rush to cook a previously frozen or refrigerated dish. It's best to let glassware get to room temperature first. I would welcome more dialogue on this topic. I did read the valuable links you provided......thanks for taking the time to share this information.
