It's not the Pyrex you know and love.
Shame shame for using the phrase "Since 1915." Pyrex used to be made from borosilicate glass which can handle fluctuations in temperature very well. Since they sold the Pyrex name, they have switched to soda lime glass which is cheaper and shatters more easily when exposed to heat. Supposedly, it has more impact resistance if you drop it. Not the trade-off I would have opted for. Still, I gave it two stars because it's still better than some of the cheaper brands out there.
