How well do these pour? I have the Pyrex set and can't wait to list them on eBay.

They pour fine. I am somewhat confused by your statement however. Pyrex is a type of glass. Are you buying these on Amazon and then selling on EBay? Or, do you think Pyrex is not glass?

They don't really go bad unless they have been used a LOT and roughly. I wouldn't put the top on the lower rack of your dishwasher and use high heat for drying, but I honestly never ruined one. I had a set of these I bought several years ago and, one by one, kept having the experience of not getting them back when I loaned them out. Never had one with a hole in it or whose top stopped fitting or whatever. I like them better than any of my other bakeware - even the expensive stuff.

I was also a little concerned at first because they are definitely thinner but they have held up well in the freezer. I let them thaw in the fridge for at least a few hours before microwaving, which I don't always do with my Pyrex. I also hand wash the lids instead of running them through the dishwasher just to be on the safe side.

They hold about 1/2 cup liquid but that isn't right up to the top. I will using them for creme brulee and that is where I would fill them for that recipe.

I have had these a couple of years now; I love them!Stovetop to oven or oven to stovetop......they clean up well and stand up to some real hard use I give them a 10 out of 10

TBH, I cook more with cast iron, but I've used my set to reheat soups and such for several months now and have had no issues. Purchased to replace a non-stick set, I really wasn't expecting much because of the price, and I'm pleasantly surprised by how well they perform and clean up. Don't forget to pick up some product like Barkeeper's Friend and they'll look brand new in seconds.

They are wonderful! We did a prime rib dinner for 250 people. I acutally washed and reused 1/2 of them because I couldn't force myself to throw all of them away. If you do want to reuse them, rinse as soon as possible to get off anything that may really stick. You will be happy with these especially if you don't have the choice of using glass.

I tried it once and they came out spotty, even though I have a high efficiency dishwasher with spot rinse. I polished out the spot and now wash and dry them by hand. They are worth it though. They look better hand-washed. They are great knives, sharp, plus look great on counter top. It's not a big deal to hand wash them. I'd buy them again or give as a gift. Good luck.

I've never done this, but I would think that they would be OK. Perhaps a bit awkward since the handle is not like one that you would find on a mug. It sticks straight out to the side so the grip would be horizontal rather than verticle. The handle is hollow so it does not get a hot as the bowl part. They are really awesome bowls though, so don't let this hold you back from ordering. We use them a lot and are quite happy with them.

I'm still experimenting. I made some this morning, and they are just under 3/4". Course that depends on how full you fill the plates. But, I'm still experimenting!

They become hot when left over direct heat. Since I am the principle cook I really enjoy cooking with the set. I do use pot holders because my ceramic cooktop distributes the heat and the handles do become "warm". With that said, I am often using three burners at the same time.

I'd get it...I am one of the reviewers that had one shatter, but I think it is rare! I have many pieces of Pyrex with no other issues, and I have also purchased another replacement, and have had no problems...Buy, use, enjoy!

My guess is that they are the soda lime glass. Pyrex doesn't do much borosilicate glass in their kitchen cookware in the states. I hear that soda lime glass is a bit more resistant to breakage when dropping. In fact, these came in a box that was completely crushed, and a number of double wall metal pans were damaged and twisted out of shape very badly. The bowls survived without even a chip! Also judging from my mom's heavily used 20 year old set that is most probably made of soda lime (Pyrex switched in the 1940s), they can be very durable, and I don't expect any breakage.

NO! All the Pyrex measuring cups (2, 4, 8 cups) are sloppy when pouring. But the handles and pouring lips are aligned.

I have not had any problem with these pans and I've been using them for several months. They are probably not the best pans for ultra-high heat gas flame cooking, but are perfectly fine for electric cooktops. They clean up beautifully. I really could not be more pleased with this set. It's a great price for very good quality.

Aryeh, I have used my pot a few times and have not had any spillage when pouring. Marc

I've had no problem. I use these everyday for tea. I am always sure to put in a spoon before I pour the hot water in.
