I've been using Pyrex brand dishes for over 10 years and I love them. I love the convenience of using them to mix then bake and then store with. I have never had a problem with them bursting in the oven or anything like that. They are also very easy to clean which is great. I think my most favorite thing about them is the look of clear glass on the table or for a countertop buffet. I also love that I can re-heat food very easily. Plus, the price of these dishes are moderate for the years of use you will get out of them. I buy them for gifts and will be using this brand for the rest of my life. They are fantastic.
