Yeah I got into this conversation with her after a hot 'pyrex' dish exploded and damaged the linoleum in my apartment. She suggested I go yard sale hunting for old Pyrex.
I was talking about the white casserole dishes also made by Corning. Wikipedia says it's called pyroceram. Also says it was an accidental discovery while trying to invent something else.
There are manufacturers selling borosilicate glass cookware; just look for "borosilicate" when searching. There are at least a couple of brands that sell this on Amazon. Though thickness and overall durability is a different matter and perhaps even the modern borosilicate items still pale in comparison to older products.
