These quality vintage made covered dishes are perfect for food storage. The glass does not leach into the food and is reused over and over again, no disposable waste. And they can be put in the oven straight from the fridge if desired.

Vintage Pyrex is of far higher quality than new because they were made with borosilicate glass instead of the soda-lime glass used in contemporary products. Borosilicate glass is much stronger and dense.  Pyrex products, vintage and new, are oven safe at reasonable temperatures. Always soak and wash with a soft cloth. Do not scrub with abrasives! It is a bad idea to put vintage Pyrex in the dishwasher.Since the invention of the dishwasher, most Pyrex Gooseberry found today have heat and water damage to the pattern causing color fading. In use for approximately 60 years, most of these sturdy dishes show major scratching and/or fading.
