"When choosing the right glass cookware, it really comes down to a balance of durability and heat-resistance so the dishes can withstand the high temperatures of the oven. Back in the day, both Pyrex and Anchor Hocking glassware were made from high-heat-resistant borosilicate. But glass cookware from both brands today is now made from a tempered glass material called soda-lime (composed of soda, lime, and silica)."
"With basically the same glass composition, the two brands don't differ much in functionality when it comes to baking a variety of dishes in the oven. You can even use soda-lime glass dishes in an air fryer. As long as you avoid cooking certain dishes in glass, such as broiled items, both cookware brands should be able to stand the heat (just be sure to keep the temperature around or under 425 degrees Fahrenheit)."
Pyrex and Anchor Hocking both produce glass cookware valued for heat retention and oven-safe baking. Anchor Hocking began in Ohio ten years before Pyrex started in New York in 1915. Historically both brands used borosilicate glass, but current products from both companies are made from tempered soda-lime glass composed of soda, lime, and silica. With similar glass composition, both brands offer comparable baking functionality and can be used in air fryers. Broiling should be avoided with glass, and temperatures should generally be kept around or under 425°F to reduce risk of damage. Brand selection often reflects design preferences or collector interest.
