Thank you for the history tidbit. My husband’s stepmother gave us all of their old pyrex after we lost Dad a few years ago. Apparently, I’m the only one that enjoys cooking and baking. I just took a quick peek and out of the 7 bowls I have, only one mentions “microwave”.. all the rest say “ovenware”.

When she gave the bowls to me, I wondered what I would do with all of them.. Believe me, they’ve come in handy, especially during the holidays…I’m going to be more observant when going to the thrift stores in the future….

Have recently started collecting the Pyrex four bowl sets. Look great displayed on my Hoosier cabinet. Stumbled across a round, golden globe pattern chip and dip set for $10! Would like to also find a square chip and dip set

What a great history lesson. My husband and I are really getting into cooking these days and it was fun to learn the history behind our pyrex dishware.

Anita,

The piece to the left, was a thrifted find! It was originally a flavored vinegar & oil rack, but I painted the base black & use it for flowers – and seasonal decorating.

Hi in the first photo what is the item next to the pyrex bowl. Looks like a bottle dryer that you are using for a vase? Is it for sale?

Pyrex will break, if you drop it on your tiled floor!

I’ll certainly look for it now! It’s pretty and useful – two things I like to look for. I’m excited to find some and use it!

Pearl, After seeing your lovely pictures of Pyrex, I will not be passing them up at the thrift stores.

Terri –

Thanks for sharing your experiences with using Pyrex in your kitchen! It’s great to hear that your bread actually does bake up higher when baked in Pyrex! I’m excited to try baking a roast in a piece of Pyrex … when I can find one big enough for my big family!
