Pretty good reviews (4.0 out of 5.0) over at amazon

Check out these comments from when this was offered in April

I ordered this earlier in the year (obviously from a different account), and I love the entire cupboard dedicated to my Pyrex :slight_smile:

Happy Buyer over at wayfair. I have nothing but great things to say about Pyrex. Anytime I buy something new, that’s what I get.

Damn! Just bought this a week ago for $5.00 more. Got it home today and put them all through the dishwasher ready to use. Good weight. Handles are nice for serving. Need to have a summer party here to put them to use.

$24.99 now, $10 less I believe than last 2(?) woots (including April one mentioned above)/2 woot-offs

Rather than link to the long discusssions on pyrex and glassware (borosilicate of the old stuff vs. soda lime glass of the new stuff ) which I’ve been a part of, I’ll summarize:

  1. If you drop the borosilicate, it shatters into many pieces potentially.
  2. If you break the soda lima glass, it potentially breaks into fewer pieces.
  3. If you put the old borosilicate down on a surface (particularly after baking), it probably won’t break.
  4. If you put the new soda lime glass on anything but a cloth type potholder(?) (particularly after baking), you take the risk of it shattering from the sudden temperature change (the videos and reports are out there, like putting on a ceramic range top). I think the truth it somewhere in between. It’s not one in a million, but it’s not 1 in 2 either.
  5. Any shattering of glassware is at minimum scary and at worst harmful.
  6. Other companies due make borosilicate, like Pyrex Europe’s line, and Lock & Lock.
  7. There have been reports (not many) of the soda lime glass breaking “spontaneously”.
  8. I’m not against someone correcting me on the above, but I’ve posted a number of links in the past on this. If I didn’t have enough new and old pyrex and corningware ceramic/glassware, I wouldn’t be afraid of buying this, but I’d always make sure after baking that it doesn’t get set down on a cooler surface. Someone commented before to be cautious of uneven distribution of temperature, and said even in the oven, (s)he puts it on a cookie sheet.

Oh, heck, here’s one of my old comments

Broklynite said this in response
"Borosilicate can and should also be tempered. Tempering refers to baking the glass at a high enough heat (but below the softening point) that the stresses are taken out of the glass. This makes the glass much less likely to break under ay kind of strain.

That said, more than likely it is soda ash. Fine for everyday storage, not something which I’d bake with."

I’ve got to go to work. Hope this helps.

Seems to be a great deal, but the covers seems to be afterthoughts. Looks like it might be snapware for me.

I have had 4 Pyrex pieces shatter over 18 months. Each one was dropped at room temp from about 12" on to a Formica countertop. They basically explode into 3-4 large pieces and thousands of glass shards up to 20 feet away in every direction. Clean up can take hours. When stacking, they tend to grip each other so extra care is needed when removing from a cabinet. I still use them everyday for things like leftovers and cereal but rarely for cooking in.

The covers are afterthoughts. The baking tray cover makes no seal whatsoever. The bowl covers are not air tight. You’d get a better seal with cling wrap. The glass snapware is a better product. I have owned both.

It does, won’t bother buying since this is the cheaper new formula pyrex. I don’t want to worry about potential glass shrapnel.
