If a pitcher is advertised as "dishwasher and microwave safe" would
you assume you could pour boiling water into it?

Oooh, I love the style of that pitcher! I would assume you could pour
boiling water into it since dishwashers get pretty darned hot. And I
can't imagine why else you'd put a pitcher like that into a microwave?
I don't see the name of the Mfg (unless it's "Simplicity") otherwise
I'd suggest contacting them for clarification.

I use a Fiesta pitcher for daily use, but need something larger. I wish
Fiesta made a 3+ quart size. This one at Target would be handy for the
size.
Why in the world doesn't Pyrex sell pitchers anymore, I wonder!??!

There are a lot of things that Pyrex used to make that they no longer
offer. I always liked the small (half-quart and quart) size Pyrex dishes
with matching Pyrex lids because they were perfect for microwaving 1 or 2
portions of almost anything. I used to have several of each size, but now
I'm down to one of each. :-(
