Corningware (same co?) still sells "Grab-Its" (with lids) which are
perfect for what you describe. �I haven't seen them in stores for a

While searching the Pyrex site for a pitcher, I noticed they have a
place to order replacement lids. I have a casserole dish that I've
lost the lid for and will go back to order one. I was on a tear to
find a pitcher today so didn't dawdle there.....

(one pitcher and one mortar/pestle set ordered today... I ought to be
shopped out, huh?)

I like the pitcher. �I've got one of those water spouts in the kitchen

I hope it isn't hot soft water - most homes with added water softener

never use already-hot water for cooking because of that.

Not sure what you're saying here.

I would hope it *is* softened water. I wouldn't want hard water
going into a water heater... and in hard water areas (wouldn't have a
water softener in soft water areas) the most important place in the
house to have softened water is the cold water at the kitchen sink.
Actually the only water that shouldn't be softened is the water from
outside hose bibs.
