"Pyrex" has always been a trade name for borosilicate glass products: does the current manufacturer use other Materials?

I thought the exact same thing. Apparently at some point they changed to soda lime silicate. Coincidentally at that same point, there have been more cases of Pyrex shattering. Pyrex is no longer using the same quality of products. Pies should not have to suffer the same fate mine did. Soon I will be selling those silicon bracelets for pie awareness..Please see this article: http://www3.nd.edu/~rroeder/ame60646/slides/glasscookware.pdf

I looked it up on the internet. They no longer used borosilicate. They now use tempered glass.

It appears to be real glass, but it is a lot thinner than Pyrex. It feels very fragile. I would not buy it again.

I do not know. This is not a utensil that is impervious to heat like Pyrex glass. It could break. You will have to ask the maker, Dansk Christianshavn.

Sorry I returned it. Red lid too loose and dish had fracture lines..that could cause shattering when baking. I have Pyrex sold their name and buyer is not producing the original quality in USA. However Pyrex products made in Europe have original quality.

Yeah, I generally just rip off any melted plastic though. It's strange that kitchenware would have such a low melting point.

No! I don't believe so... From what I have read the company uses permanently bonded silica (think sand or glass) instead of conventional chemicals. The information used to be on their website, might still be.

Is the Pyrex sold through Amazon Prime the "soda Lime glass formula" which every review I have read is more likely to explode? I need a 10"X15" baking pan but I'm afraid to buy one.

according to Consumer Reports, January 2011, borosilicate was phased out in the 1980's. The claim is that the new glass will not shatter any more easily

I have an old 7 cup Pyrex container with the blue lid and the lids it is interchangeable with the new glass/silicone lid. I don't know about other sizes.

Not that I know of. The cooking chamber is ceramic. The rest is aluminum, plastic and glass.

I am sorry- I can not say for sure, but assume yes. Almost all the Pyrex lids out now- replacement lids etc are BPA free.

I will have to get back to you on this. I am not sure. I thought it was pyrex. I'll look to see if it tells me and respond again.

I do not think so, but don't now for sure. The reason I say this, these lids are glass with a rubber seal...this is a question for Pyrex directly.

That I don't know. Sorry:(. I would suggest to contact Pyrex or someone who has more knowledge.

I only have the metal but have read it's quicker to heat and obviously more durable. At a recent coffee shop they had several metal ones they used. I did not see glass or ceramic.

Sorry, I threw away the packaging and don't remember where it was made. However, you could probably get the info. from Pyrex themselves.
