Senkosam Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) I just discovered that Anchor Hocking is the last source for pyrex cups I'll ever buy again! The plastisol adheres after cooling and is difficult to remove. The company I've found that has no adherence is made by World Kitchen and the entire leftover plastic comes out completely. I bought mine from Bed, Bath & Beyond. Edited September 9, 2014 by Senkosam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I tried a few brands and gave up on them. I switched to nor por silicone and don't use the pyrex except for swirls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Pyrex is the brand name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 World Kitchen, LLC, which was spun off from Corning in 1998, licensed the Pyrex brand for their own line of kitchenware products—differentiated by their use of clear tempered soda-lime glass instead of borosilicate. Maybe that's the difference between Anchor Hocking and World Kitchen. All I know is the plastic never sticks no matter how many reheats.

Travis Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Never had any issues with the Anchor Hocking cups (I believe all glass produced now is soda lime when it comes to bakeware/measuring no matter the brand due to the cost, switched over early 2000 I think.)

Senkosam Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Do you have problems with cooled plastic sticking to the glass, requiring a blade to remove? A nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 All I have ever done to remove plastic is to pinch a portion of it and it peels out with no effort. Now I haven't bought any cups in probably 3 years as I stocked up on them a a buck a piece one year and maybe something else has changed.

Bassinfool Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Never had a problem with plastic sticking to my cups unless I have just over cooked the hell out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
