Over time Pyrex will tend to shatter . Cooks' Illustrated discussed this a while ago. Something to do with tiny scratches and nicks that over time will weaken the glass and you just never know when it will give up. That said, one of my know it all frenemies, Big Mikey the Engineer still broils in his Pyrex and being the overwhelmingly lucky stiff he is, never had an incident. Of course this is the same person who will not believe anything Cook's Illustrated says and doubts anyone's "data" but his own.

BTW, NOTHING spatters and is harder to completely clean than tomato sauce or milk. It will drive you nuts!!!!

Non-stick Pyrex

I bought a bunch of "non-stick" Pyrex about 20 years ago when I got my first microwave.

It's got this cheesy film inside that scratches off quite easily. So it's impossible to get the stuff crystal clear. I guess I could scour away all the remnants, but what's the fun in that?

Needless to say, it's all in storage.

I let the French White Corelle type bakeware set come out to play once in a while... it's the real thing, not stoneware. Bought way back before it was cheapened.
