She kind of sounds like Carl Wheezer.
Here in the United States, whenever I find the PYREX with capital letters in the resale or thrift stores I try to buy it because it's made of borosilicate glass. The new pyrex glassware with the lower case letters Is made of cheaper soda lime glass that can't take anywhere near the same thermal shock which is what you need if you're going to be cooking in it.
It's sad that overseas they still make it out of borosilicate glass, but here we can only get the cheap stuff new.
Are you sure you did your research properly? Because the original Pyrexx with a capital P made by corning ware so the rights to another company who can market Pyrex with a lowercase P, which is not as durable.
I rarely disagree with ATK, but soda glass can take knocks and hard bumps more readily. Borosilicate glass is better with thermal shock. I have a full set of borosilicate in my kitchen for specific uses on the stove but have broken them with little effort at room temperature comparative to today's pyrex glassware. Choose accordingly.
I use Glasslock containers. I've seen them drop on the floor from the upper shelves of my fridge and stay intact. I might just be lucky, though. 😅
In the pocket of big Oxo lol
So pyrex has done a typical bate n switch.
one of the good things you can find in an estate sale. 😊
Incorrect, pyrex and PYREX are 2 different companies. How are you releasing false information
Pyrex still makes our labware, they've just cheapened out for the kitchen consumer.
Thanks for all your great information and forger the trolls that add NOTHING to your live or anyone else’s.
Back in 1962 my gramma dropped her large Pyrex bread bowl. She would use this bowl to make triple batches of bread. When this bowl hit the kitchen floor it shattered into a million pieces. Back then we wore dresses so when the Pyrex shattered it sent splinters flying into our legs. Gramma couldn’t get the splinters out of our legs so we went to the hospital to have them removed. It took over 3 hours to get them out. When we were done they put iodine on our legs. When the Novocain wore off, WOW! It was over a week before our legs felt somewhat better. The splinters they missed took over a year to come to the surface so they could be removed. Gramma went out and bought another Pyrex bread bowl. When I grew up ~ No Pyrex for me!
Don't drop glass on rocks ✍️✍️✍️
Can the OXO glass containers be bought on line? Or where?
There's 2 different materials used depending upon whether Pyrex uses capital letters or not. Lower case letters use soda lime glass but the version using capital letters is still boris silicate.
Note Pyrex and pyrex are not the same company. What kind of glass are the rubbermaid brilliance containers made of? I love them
Maybe this explains why a Pyrex rectangular 6 cup container shattered when I unloaded the dishwasher.
I love those containers, but they are really hard for older adults to open, and close tightly
Such a shame about Pyrex. It's Oxo only now for me.
i only know oxo from tv commercials in the 90s. interesting that they nowdays seem to have several good product lines.
Pyrex outside the US is still made with borosilicate
She's going to tell me all about Pyrex but did anybody tell her about a comb
Pyrex in Europe is made with borosilicate glass. There is a French company that licenses the name and possibly designs.
I wish the link were cllickable as i am very interested in these Oxo containers.
Borosilicate glass is better for temperature shock but far weaker for physical shock, like dropping it or hitting it as they tend to fracture much easier.
What's the name of the glass again please
