Question 1

Why this is $7.66...Walmart this is $3.87!!  No worry to add item for shipping the free....only spend the gas drive money and the $3.87.  Why!!?

Accepted Answer

All I see is Anchor Hocking brand for Walmart at that price. Not Pyrex.

Question 2

Does anyone know if this is the original high quality borosilicate Pyrex or the cheap soda-lime stuff that has been exploding (google Pyrex exploding)

Accepted Answer

No
Look for the name PYREX in all capital letters.
This will be the original borosilicate high temp glass. Still made now in France.
I'm always on the lookout for the older PYREX baking dishes at yard sales and flee markets.
Avoid the "pyrex" in lower case letters. It's just tempered soda-lime glass and not as safe.

Question 3

Why is used measure cup $25 .00 and new $2.50 ?

Accepted Answer

A possible answer is that before 2000, Pyrex was made with lab quality Borosilicate glass.  In 2000 the production moved overseas and the material was downgraded to tempered soda glass.  So the used cup may be a much better product.

Question 4

What type of glass is this made of?

Accepted Answer

Hello Debra M,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding what type of glass Pyrex is made of.

Pyrex® glass bakeware is made of a soda lime glass composition. While Pyrex glass bakeware was originally made of borosilicate glass in 1915, in the U.S. it has been made consistently of heat-strengthened, soda lime glass for several decades. Pyrex glass bakeware has been proudly made in Charleroi, PA for nearly 60 years, first by Corning Inc. and now by Corelle Brands.

Heat-strengthened soda lime glass provides the same high-quality performance as borosilicate glass. Today, most, if not all glass bakeware manufactured in the U.S. for consumer use is made from tempered soda lime glass. It is worth noting that, from an environmental standpoint, tempered soda lime glass requires less energy (lower temperature) compared with borosilicate manufacturing. This process results in fewer harmful emissions than the production of borosilicate glass and a product that is more recyclable than borosilicate glass.

I hope this answers your question.  If you have any other questions please let me know.

Have a great day
