Rating: - BEWARE: new Pyrex EXPLODES.
Pyrex is NO LONGER BOROSILICATE. The new stuff will crack and break, as multiple reviewers have noted; nor are the Catamount borosilicate products a good substitute, since they shatter easily due to their thinness.
Luminarc still makes their stuff out of thick borosilicate. It's the only viable replacement for traditional Pyrex to date.
If you're interested, look up the Pyrex scandal. The nutshell version is that in 1998 Corning spun off the Pyrex brand to World Kitchen and other companies, who now use soda-lime glass. Injuries and lawsuits have cropped up everywhere. ... Read More

It turns out that this mixing bowl is not made by corel, and is not the high quality high temperature glass originally used. Corel sold of it's Pyrex brand to another company called World Kitchen. WK uses common bottle glass for all it's Pyrex line, rather than the 'lab glass' that made pyrex worth buying.
I was forced to purchase a replacement for the 16 year loyal pyrex measuring that finaly broke. It arrived today, complete with defective bubbles and cracks through both the handle and bowl. Return shipping will cost more than the item did to purchase, so I am out of luck. ... Read More
Rating: - Pyrex 2-qt
This is a perfect size container. Batter bowl? Prep bowl? Pick a winner. My two are SOOO perfect to grab and go! Two fit my "Wave" to heat up broth or water. The handle makes removal from the Micro-wave (use a mitt) a safe project. Spout handy, example filling canning jars. Beats the dipper method.
Rating: - Pyrex has gone downhill
I have seem pyrex that has survived generations, unfortunately something has changed and I have had 3 pieces literally explode, in the oven, on the stove, even just sitting on the stove top after being used. My latest was a 2 quart measure (see additional product photos) I was reheating some coffee, I brought it to a boil accidently but then turned off the stovetop. I poured myself a cup without incident but about 5 minutes later I hear an explosion in the kitchen and find glass and coffee everywhere!
I don't know what is going on at the pyrex plant but I will not be buying anymore of ... Read More
