I like those glass pots. My grandmother has a full set of them, and they've served well. I picked up a few, and even had the frying pan version.. that wasn't the greatest.
From what I've read, they stopped selling these because they occasionally explode from thermal shock.
It didn't stop me from using them, but it's something to keep in mind.
Totally! Yeah I typically don’t cook anything in them that needs to go longer than 3 minutes at a time in them. Cheers!
Don't worry too much. My grandmother has cooked everything in them for decades, and I wasn't especially careful with them.
My favourite part was flexibility. I could cook something stovetop, put the whole pot in the fridge, then warm it up in the microwave the next day.
They also work alright in the oven.
Lately I've been using stainless and cast iron for everything, mostly because I found the glass to be more of a pain to clean.
I like that it's faster in the microwave but I like being able to evenly heat it on the stove and stirring it. Usually I had a small amount of water and boil it before adding the soup to quicken the process.
