minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish7•2 years ago“True” Pyrex is made of borosilicate glass and is very resistant to changes in temperature, making it excellent for lab or kitchen use. You can tell when it’s “true” Pyrex if the lettering is in all caps. If it’s not, it’s just regular glass.

minus-squareGnothilinkfedilinkEnglish9•2 years ago It is a common misconception that the logo style alone indicates the type of glass used to manufacture the bakeware.[22] Additionally, Corning’s introduction of soda-lime glass based Pyrex in the 1940s predates the introduction of the all lowercase logo by nearly 30 years.[23][20][24] Just FYI in case anyone thinks they are safe finding the old style logo at a yardsale or something…
