Not since 1998, Michael. Read what I said above. Pyrex cookware sold in the
US today is tempered soda lime glass, and has been for over a decade. That's
why Anchor Hocking doesn't call their glass products "Pyrex."

Unless something changed recently, Ed is absolutely correct. I looked into this a while
back.

Anchor Hocking can't use the name Pyrex, but they sell borosilicate
glassware. I bought some a month ago, and their website had 442 hits
for "borosilicate glass".

You might want to look more closely at those 442 hits. Searching on
borosilicate alone yields 9 hits, searching on borosilicate glass yields
443, however examining them it appears that 434 of them do not contain
the world "borosilicate"--apparently the search is on "borosilicate OR
glass" rather than "borosilicate AND glass" or the phrase "borosilicate
glass".


The Anchor Hocking items I purchased state that they are made of
borosilicate glass. Are you going to claim that they weren't?

I'm not "claiming" anything except that there are only nine items on the
Anchor Hocking web site that are specifically described on that site as
being made from borosilicate glass, and there appears to be no general
statement on that site that Anchor Hocking products are made from
borosilicate. If you can show that others currently for sale are also
made from it, please provide a list of products and SKU numbers (and,
ideally, links to photos of the labels showing the SKU number and the
"borosilicate glass" statement) so that others wanting borosilicate
glass can benefit from your experience.
