Pyrex Bowls

[Guest guest]

I contacted the Pyrex company and their statement was that the dishes can indeed

go safely from freezer to oven, but it is recommended that you let it set for

three to five minutes while preheating the oven.

 

Since I do not use a microwave I don't know how that would work, but I have been

freezing in pyrex for several years with no mishaps.

 

The pyrex corps. customer care number is :800-999-3436, they may be able to tell

you how the microwave thing will work out.

The company you would have contacted is World Kitchens, Inc. They bought out

the housewares division of Corning in 1996 and have been making Pyrex at one

of the old Corning plant sites in Pittsburg since then.

 

I am just glad that World Kitchen's, Inc. bought the housewares division of

Corning and that Corning didn't just discontinue making Pyrex. Corning

Glassworks invented it and introduced it to the public in 1915 and made it

successfully for so many years. Where would out kitchen's be without PYREX!!

It truly was a miracle in kitchens of the era....cooking in glass was unheard of

until Corning perfected PYREX glass. I have at least one example of each of

the original 12 pieces that were introduced at The Jordan Marsh Department Store

in 1915.....AND use them. Took me 5 years to complete the collection of those

12 pieces. I have hundreds of pieces of the oldest PYREX and most look just

like they are new....and many are 75 to 93 years old. I love'em.

 

I have to admit that I don't use my Pyrex in the microwave either

though.....only the newer pieces made after about 1980 should be used in the

microwave as the glass formulas for oven glass only and duel oven/microwave

glass is different. I mainly use our microwave for reheating or

warming.....although I do like to cook rice in it.
