I'm not "claiming" anything except that there are only nine items on the
Anchor Hocking web site that are specifically described on that site as
being made from borosilicate glass, and there appears to be no general
statement on that site that Anchor Hocking products are made from
borosilicate. If you can show that others currently for sale are also
made from it, please provide a list of products and SKU numbers (and,
ideally, links to photos of the labels showing the SKU number and the
"borosilicate glass" statement) so that others wanting borosilicate
glass can benefit from your experience.


These are two of the items I bought about two months ago. The
paperwork with each stated that they were made with borosilicate glass:

http://www.anchorhocking.com/prodd_4462_cat_24_7_cup_kitchen_storage.html

I can't find the third item on the A-H website, but here is a similar
Pyrex brand item:

There are several other items I can no longer find on the A-K website
that were there when I researched the items I purchased.

Interesting. Next time I see such an item I'll have to check it out.
Meanwhile I emailed Anchor Hocking asking about this--it will be
interesting to see what they say.

See if they say something like this:

"Thank you for taking the time to contact Anchor Hocking.

"Anchor Hocking strives to maintain high quality standards to produce the
finest glassware available.

"We would like you to know that the material used in all glass ovenware
in the market place today is known as soda lime glass, which has been
subjected to a manufacturing process known as tempering. It is the same
process used to produce tempered safety glass found in many windows or
glass shower doors, etc.

"Tempered glassware is also a more durable glass and beside the
durability and safety there is no lead or harmful chemicals in our
products making them very consumer health conscious glassware products.

"We do appreciate hearing from you."
