@tal Yes. PYREX sold licensing to other manufacturers to use the branding "pyrex," but "pyrex" is made with tempered glass which can shatter during extreme temperature fluctuations, many of which are common in cooking situations. PYREX is still borosilicate glass and shatter-proof.

Note that there are other manufacturers of borosilicate glass cooking items, as well. If you hit Amazon and plug in "borosilicate glass", you'll get products from a bunch of manufacturers.

I've lost so much trust with dodgy items from Amazon, I'd not be surprised if a lot of the borosilicate on there is just tempered glass.

At this point Amazon is just Aliexpress with higher prices.
