pyrex

Founded in 1915 in Corning, New York, Pyrex revolutionized home cooking with its heat-resistant glass bakeware. Originally developed by Corning Glass Works for railroad lanterns and laboratory use, the brand transitioned to the kitchen when a scientist's wife successfully baked a cake in a sawed-off battery jar. This innovation introduced durable, low-thermal-expansion borosilicate glass to American households, allowing cooks to bake, serve, and store food in the same vessel.
