Why Choose Pyrex
The Pyrex brand as introduced in 1915 and this clear cookware was made from a special type of borosilicate glass. Otto Schott, the founder of Schott AG, invented borosilicate glass in 1893, and this material was first used to make shock-resistant battery jars and lantern globes.
It was soon used in cookware although modern Pyrex pots and pans are made of tempered soda-lime glass rather than borosilicate glass, because it is cheaper to make and is stronger too. The word Pyrex comes from the Greek word ‘pyr’ meaning fire.
As long as you don’t heat or cool it too fast, Pyrex should last for many years, maybe even a lifetime. This material is durable and practical, and it can be used to make all kinds of tasty dishes. Pyrex is reasonably priced and perfect for soaking slices of bread for French toast, holding your breadcrumbs or batter when frying fish, or marinating a skirt steak or your favorite cut of pork to perfection.
If you drop it on the floor it is unlikely to shatter or break because tempered soda-lime glass is much stronger than regular glass, although Pyrex is cheap enough to replace if you do accidentally drop your favorite pot or pan.
Clear Pyrex Dishware
Because Pyrex pots and pans are clear, you can keep an eye on how your casseroles, meats, fish, breads or cakes are doing, making sure nothing is getting too crispy on top or too brown around the edges. You can also serve a layered salad in a Pyrex container so each layer is visible. This versatile material is found in millions of kitchens because Pyrex will not let you down.
You can transfer your cooking from the stove or oven to the dinner table and serve the meal directly out of the Pyrex, so choose this beautiful material if you are looking for reliability, versatility and durability.

Pyrex glass dishes are something that a lot of home cooks prefer over alternatives like metal or pottery. Not only is it microwave and oven-safe, but you can see your food inside the dish. If you are making a lasagna for example, you will be able to see all the layers through the side of the dish, unlike with a pottery dish where you would only see the top.
Glass does not taint your food either, and it will not chance the aroma or flavor of your meals. Glass does have limitations. For example, dropping a glass dish on a tiled floor is going to make a heck of a mess, but unless you are super-clumsy in the kitchen, this cookware should serve you well, and it makes a lovely gift as well.
