Pyrex is one of those products that you can use for decades! I should know, my mother has been using the SAME Pyrex for over 3 decades with no chipping, no visible scratching, and perfect performance every time. After throwing out metal pans every few years and replacing them with new ones, I finally decided to start my Pyrex collection and I'm so glad I did. They wash up beautifully since they are glass, they are safe in the microwave, freezer, oven, and dishwasher. I'm sure they are breakable being glass, but I have never broken a Pyrex dish in my life. They look classy, and best of all, they are *MADE IN AMERICA*. This pan is great for breads, mini-lasagnas, jello, pound cakes, small desserts, and best of all- meatloaf! For the price, do not waste your money on metal of any sort, just buy the Pyrex for the best quality & best value out there.
