Great Quality - Terrific Bowl & Dish Size Variety - Best Price I Found
By George E. Goff & Better Half Michele on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017
I comparison shopped a prep & baking set all over the internet as I was re-tooling my kitchen. As I had purchased Pyrex in past I included that brand in my search. Amazon met the lowest price out there and with Amazon Prime I got free shipping on this 24 lb set and received it almost before I could log off the Amazon page. Packaging was superior by Corning and Amazon wrapped the manufacturer's box in a double layer of bubble wrap and shipped in a heavy duty cardboard box. Needless to say, there was not a scratch on the bowls. Now to the actual product review part. Although I have used Pyrex for years with no complaints, I was concerned after reading some negative reviews saying the bowls were not "Your mother's Pyrex" and exploded in the oven. I determined after further research on Amazon and other websites that the issue may have not been quality of the product but failure to pre-heat the oven correctly. So I ordered this set and am very pleased. This Grab-It product by Pyrex is heavy and has the best handles. You can easily grab the ample handles with oven mitts.The bowls are heavy glass and had no imperfections. The variety of baking dish sizes will take care of most of the baking I'll be doing.The prep bowls round out with my stainless steel set my mixing bowl needs - plus they are microwaveable. You get plastic lids on all bowls except the pie pan. The only thing I would like to have seen in this bundle would be glass lids for the 8" square and the 2 rectangular dishes. There doesn't appear to be any separate lids for the rectangular dishes or the square available at all. I bought a companion piece - a Grab 3qt casserole with glass lid - from Amazon. I recommend this set highly due to the quality - variety of sizes in the set and the excellent Amazon price.

What I needed
By Debra C. on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2013
I was looking to expand my class bakeware and also needed mixing bowls. I was glad to find this on a good sale. It was just what I needed. The lids are a good addition, and the items have all come out of multiple cleanings in dishwasher shining. However, I was sad to see the changes that have been made to reduce costs, and I am old enough to remember the original Pyrex. These looked more like something I would find on a grocery store shelf made by a lower lever competitor. The reduction in square inches at the base flaring up to a wider top have changed the depth of some of my recipes and thereby the cooking time. I won't be getting rid of my tired and scratched up 8x8 or 9x13 original Pyrex any time soon, and I am hoping the new dishes stand the test of time they have.
