I’ve been needing some new bowls, you know, for mixing stuff and storing leftovers, and I stumbled upon this whole world of Pyrex ovenware bowls. I decided I gotta try these things out, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey.
First thing I did was hop online and do some digging. I saw all sorts of different Pyrex bowls, some new, some vintage. They are all made of borosilicate glass. I guess that’s what makes them so tough. There are even the Pyrex 100 Years Mixing Bowl Set, which is awesome. I read that Pyrex is super popular because it’s so tough and you can use it for just about anything. And they are popular on TikTok, which means the young people love them.

So I went ahead and ordered a couple of sets. I got a set of those classic mixing bowls and a set with lids for storing food. I was pretty excited to get them.
When they arrived, I was impressed. They felt really solid, really well-made. I used the mixing bowls right away to whip up some batter. They were great! They are easy to clean. And I like that I can see through them.
Then came the real test – using them in the oven. I made a casserole in one of the bowls, and it came out perfect. No issues at all. I was a bit nervous about the whole exploding glass thing, but it seems like that’s more of an issue with sudden temperature changes.
- I’ve been using them for storing leftovers too, and they work great for that as well.
- The lids fit nice and snug, and it’s so much better than using plastic wrap.
- I even used one to store some soup in the fridge, and it was still good days later.
My final thoughts
Overall, I’m really happy with these Pyrex bowls. They are sturdy, they are versatile, and they are just plain useful. If you are looking for some solid bowls, definitely check out Pyrex. They’re a classic for a reason.
