Advantages: Good. Heat resistant does not break easily

Disadvantages: none

The Pyrex glass bowl that I have is a large2 litre bowl. It is guaranteed for ten years, I have had mine more than ten years now without any harm coming to it. No chips no cracks no pitted surface the glass still crystal clear
Pyrex is a good material for a bowl as it is non- porous and flavours and smells do not linger on the bowl after washing it.

Pyrex is made of borosilicate toughened heat resistant glass. Pyrex kitchen ware has been made by Corning Inc since 1915, before that this firm developed toughened glass for light bulbs in 1879.
I have used my large Pyrex bowl 100000's of times for many different uses. I suppose my most favorite use is to use it when I am making a cake, but it has also been used to hold a massive fruit salad, used to make a fruit punch. This Pyrex bowl is so versatile.

I can use it in the oven without it breaking , although I know that with an older bowl that may have undetected scratches/ cracks that it is possible that after removal from oven it may shatter , also if you remove from a v hot oven cool gradually do not plunge into cold water. Pyrex suggest it withstands heat up to 300 F I use my large Pyrex bowl in the microwave it just fits might be a bit large for a small microwave.

I can use this Pyrex bowl in fridge or freezer. One year I made an ice bowl. I had 2 Pyrex bowls this one and the next size down put on inside the other taped the rims so that y did not move. I arranged some flower petals and herbs in the cavity between the bowls then poured some water in the gap between the bowls I then froze the bowl in my freezer removed when solid and removed the Pyrex bowls . Slightly warming the Pyrex with warm water worked. I was left with a bowl made of ice I put a salad in it immediately before serving. This looked impressive was fun to do.
My large Pyrex bowl is easy to wash just hot soapy water. I could wash it in the dishwasher if I had one.

I would recommend my large Pyrex bowl. This bowl can be bought individually or as part of a set from many hard ware stores of and on line. I typed in Pyrex 2 litre bowl into my search engine and found I could purchase this bowl from between £2.50 and £6 a set. In Debenhams it costs a fiver .A set of 3 bowls including this large one costs £9.99 from Amazon plus postage.
I would certainly recommend this 2 litre pyrex bowl. Pyrex bowls make good wedding presents. They are good for student leaving home as they are so versatile, a student could heat up a pretty big tin of beans or a curry in this 2 litre bowl.

Summary: A 2 litre toughened glass bowl
