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.


These are two of the items I bought about two months ago. The
paperwork with each stated that they were made with borosilicate glass:

I can't find the third item on the A-H website, but here is a similar
Pyrex brand item:

There are several other items I can no longer find on the A-K website
that were there when I researched the items I purchased.

Well, in response to my inquiry, I got back from Anchor Hocking:

"Anchor Hocking strives to maintain high quality standards to provide
the finest glassware products available. We are proud of our products
and responsiveness to our consumer questions.

We would like you to know the material used in glass ovenware in the
market place today is known as soda lime glass, which has been subjected
to a manufacturing process known as tempering. It is the same process
used to produce tempered safety glass found in many windows or glass
shower doors, etc.

Additionally, tempered ovenware products are more durable and a
healthier product. Our glassware contains no lead or harmful chemicals
making it a very consumer health conscious product. "

So, if they are producing borosilicate bakeware they don't want it to be
known.

Perhaps the items you have were "new old stock"?


That's possible. Some retailers aren't know for being careful to
rotate stock. Still, it makes you wonder why there are so many hits for
borosilicate when you search their site. They showed a set of salt &
pepper shakers as borosilicate. I wonder if they never bothered to
remove old keywords, or if it's SEO fraud?

At any rate, the items I bought were exactly what I was looking for.
I notice that the prices have dropped since I bought mine, too.
