weird. I never had a problem with pyrex. Must be something to do with the environment the glass in your specific case is exposed to.

Pyrex is just tempered glass now. You have to trawl yard sales and antique shops to find the borosylicate version.

> The pyrex (all lowercase) trademark is now used for kitchenware sold in the United States, South America, and Asia. In Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, a variation of the PYREX (all uppercase) trademark is licensed by International Cookware for bakeware that has been made of numerous materials including borosilicate and soda-lime glass, stoneware, metal, plus vitroceramic cookware.
