Pyrex made a "Visions" line of glass saucepans -- try to find one of
those.

I think the type of glass has more to do with it. Clearly though, pyrex
*bowls* are not designed to be put directly on a flame.

Good luck getting an induction hob to heat glass, which is what the OP was

I checked. There's a big pot with tab handles (or whatever
you call the little ones, a medium-size pot with a long handle,

They were last used about 30 years ago. Too bad the reviews
are so scathing. They don't sound worth saving.

I know has Pyrex glass saucepans, that they use to
boil things in.
However the wife doesn't think that these glass bowls should undergo
this
kind of treatment on top of the gas rings.My question is not whether
this was really an oven proofed glass dish, since
i guess we will never know for sure.I 'wouldn't have dreamt
of putting a Pyrex bowl directly on a gas hob. We regularly use ceramic
ovenproof dishes, but again,But is the wife right in saying this is a
very *risky* procedure, putting
a
pyrex glass bowl over a gas ring to boil things? Even though i always
start on

I have a Pyrex double boiler, that is fine with that kind of heat -
but unless you're using laboratory grade material, risky is putting it

some kitchen cleanup and a possible trip to the hospital if you
continue your half-witted practice of exposing home grade Pyrex bowls
to a flame.
