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. :-(

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 but they have 'em on the web site

I should have said that I've had those and didn't like them because of
the

"grab-it" lid. *I don't like that little circular handle (call me crazy)
..
* The dishes I have, have 2 small ear type handles on opposing sides
that
match ears on the bowls. *(does that make sense?) *I much prefer those .

I may do some looking on eBay, as I know they don't manufacture them
anymore. *Another company that may have something is Anchor-Hocking.

What amazes me is that these companies, Pyrex, Corning, and Anchor-
Hocking
, all make good heat resistant glass containers and supply them with
*plastic* lids, if anything. *How stupid is that?


*Invaluable* for carting stuff around to cookouts and such,
Wayne...I've several Pyrex baking dishes with the plastic lids, wish I
had more of 'em in fact. They make a tight seal for storage, too...

Well, yes, for that Greg, but not for cooking or oven use. The plastic
lids don't hold up.
