Pyrex is no longer made by Corning, and it is no longer made of durable borosilicate glass. The name brand was sold off. Pyrex is made in asia of much cheaper lime silicate glass. I was researching bakeware recently because I wanted the best, and what you want is borosilicate. One brand I found is Marinex, it is made of what Pyrex USED to be made of-- borosilicate glass. This is the highest quality glass you can get for bakeware. Pyrex may not stand up to freezer to oven use. I have also read many accounts of pyrex developing micro cracks you can't see. These then fill with liquid in the oven, and POW, they shatter, injuring people at worst or ruining dinner at best. Buyer beware.

I like the set, for being the typical excellent quality from pyrex, but the millions of warnings it comes with are making me nervous. It hasn't given me problems with anything though. I can take it from the oven to the table to the fridge to the freezer, and back, with no problems.

Durable, Pyrex set. This set offers all the right size baking dishes, plus a pie pan and measuring cup. The glass has a faint blue tint, hard to tell from the picture. This is a classic kitchen set at a good value.

I love Pyrex. this was a good combination set. I needed another loaf pan and definitely needed another 9 x 13 pan. It was more economical to purchase this set than buy separately. Pyrex goes from oven to dishwasher. It couldn't be easier.

I had been borrowing my mothers pyrex glass baking dishes for way too long! I've been nothing but exstatic to have this set for myself! No issues what so ever! Just good food!

LOVE THIS ITEM. FOR THE LOW PRICE YOU GET ALL OF THESE ITEMS THAT ARE EXPENSIVE WHEN BUYING SEPARATELY. FOOD DOES NOT STICK AND IT'S HEAVY DUTY. IDEAL FOR THE HOUSEHOLD CHEF. I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

I've used pyrex for years with no problem, but last week while baking a casserole (with no sudden temperature changes or other misuse) my pyrex dish shattered into a million glass shards. A friend of mine had told me about a similar experience, but I had assumed that hers must have been a different brand. It turns out this has happened to LOTS of other people with pyrex - check out [...]. Statistically, your chances of it happening to you are probably low, but if it does happen the danger is very real. Sorry, but I'm getting rid of all my pyrex and recommending that others do likewise.

Having used pyrex for over 20 years I had to replace a 9x13" baking pan that was dropped (it probably would have lasted another 20 had it not been). Without reservation I went out and got another pyrex branded dish only to have it crack in less than a month of solid use. Nobody was hurt, thankfully but the new pyrex is no longer the same high quality product that used to be made by corning, in fact when I looked at the bottom of all my glass baking dishes they were all stamped "corning NY" on there. Sad to see a great product line come to an end, supposedly however in Europe the same high quality borosilicate glass is still used in the Pyrex name, I guess it's just too good for us Americans to have.

I have used this 5 piece set for the last 15 years. I love it. You never have to worry about non-stick coating flaking off, and if you do burn something, you can always get it clean. Maybe 25 years ago I had one 9x13 pan crack, I had put frozen fish filets in the pan, and put in the oven. The pan broke in half, no glass shards, just one swervey split in the pan. Turns out you need to add a little moisture to the bottom of the pan before adding frozen food like that, and it was my fault. I have made casseroles, strata, brownies, mac and cheese, pies, breads, lasagna, you name it, and I would be sad to go back to metal pans. Now they make convenient rubber lids that are really handy too. I highly recommend, surely one of my favorite things in my kitchen.

That pretty much sums it up. It's exactly what it looks like. Glass bakeware. No complaints. Exactly what I needed.
