Many years ago I had a Pyrex drink pitcher. It was perfect for pouring

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!??!


Corning Glass (the company that developed Pyrex and holds that
trademark) sold off the consumer product lines including "Corningware"
some time ago. It seems the current owner only chose to make a small
subset of the product line.
