We’d like to just nip this one in the bud and say - NO. Some pieces actually say “Not for stovetop”, but we never put vintage pyrex bowls, casseroles or whatever directly on the stove, ever. You can try it, but we’d rather not risk it. But we do get a lot of people who are asking about Flameware and related Coffee makers / pots. Flameware was indeed meant to go directly on the stove, and that includes the coffee makers.

This is another case where it may not actually be the Pyrex that is at fault … it’s more the effect of what you do with the container after it’s been heated (or cooled). Many modern Pyrex items will denote whether they are safe for the microwave on the bottom of the item. But we have used vintage Pyrex in the microwave many times (I can’t count the number of times I’ve microwaved a Diagonal Handle Pyrex cup filled with coffee). See similar questions...

Before we say anything: our standard disclaimer is that we’re not responsible for anything that happens to your Pyrex or glassware, vintage or not. We have heard instances and seen pictures of Pyrex items new AND old that have broken, shattered, cracked, or even “exploded”. We’re not going to pass judgement on anything, but you assume all the risk on your own. Now… a lot of vintage Pyrex was developed expressly for the purpose of cooking in the oven.

NO. Do NOT put your vintage Pyrex in the dishwasher. You may not notice any difference at first, but the extreme heat and harsh cleaning detergent will take its toll on your piece. This is especially true with older solid color fired on patterns. I think quite a few of the modern clear glass pieces may be dishwasher safe. But older pieces will suffer and the damage is irreversible - we have seen too many sad and faded solid color Pyrex item at the Goodwill. Don’t do it! [Back to Top] See similar questions...

Cold refrigerator temperatures should be fine for most vintage Pyrex pieces. In fact, the Oven Refrigerator Sets were meant for just that purpose. Just make sure the food you are going to refrigerate and the dish has cooled down enough before putting it in. We’ve put bowls, casseroles, refrigerator sets, and mugs in the fridge for extended periods longer than a week. I don’t know about putting Pyrex in the freezer, although we’ve heard of people doing that. See similar questions...

If your stove outlet ID is about 1/8" larger than the size pipe you are looking at (ie: 6" pipe = 6 1/8" inside diameter outlet), then yes. If it is exactly the same size or smaller, you will need a Male-to-Male coupling or a Tee Connector where both ends are crimped.

PYREX ovenware can be used in microwave, convection, or preheated conventional oven, refrigerator and freezer. A number of PYREX ovenware pieces are available with plastic sealing lids for microwave and storage usage. For use in freezer, please use with caution as liquid expansion may cause possible pressure for glass to break. See similar questions...

Join the club, hehe! It is extremely common with any vintage kitchen items to have lids that sort of “rattle” whenever there is vibration through the floor (people walking, washing machines and dishwashers, etc.). This occurs most commonly with refrigerator dishes and casseroles. See similar questions...

No. The stoneware cannot withstand the extreme direct heat and will break if placed on a stove top burner. You may use the stoneware in the microwave or oven. However, the tempered glass lid is not suitable for microwave or oven use. See similar questions...

PREHEATING BIODIESEL TIP: If using preheating cup (#35), fill cup at least 6 - 10 times. If using preheater, it's best to use the EZ-Pump adaptor. Allow preheating time approx. 3 - 4 mins. (with an average outdoor temp of 75-degrees).BEST using BOTH Above see:Video demonstration of BioDiesel in Stove Tips: FLAME-UPS - Check part # 33, and make sure that it is adjusted to a high level. It can loosen up and drop down too close to the # 50. (see photo of adjustment above. See similar questions...

Definitely, you can. The electric stove offers the same amount of heat as the gas stove. The only difference is that gas stoves give you an instant heat, thus better control of heat and cooling time. The electric stove takes a couple of extra minutes to bring the wok to desired temperature, and it also takes a couple of extra minutes to cool down. See similar questions...

ANSWER: Here's a quick test to determine if the dishes are microwave safe. Microwave the empty container for one minute. It is unsafe for the microwave if it is warm; it is ok for reheating if it is lukewarm; and it is ok for actual cooking if it is cool.

I collect haori and obi and rotate them often on my walls for decoration. I also wear most of my haori to the ballet and opera, usually getting outright praise or looks of admiration. But to get to the point, I have been steaming all of my haori and some obi (I use a standard "Jiffy" steamer) and so far, no problem. Just don't put the nozzle right on the fabric, as this can cause water spots. I do store each folded and separated by acid-free tissue paper. See similar questions...

In Japan, the word "nostalgic" is applied to items of various age that evoke the feel of eras past, from Astro Boy manga to wind-up tin toys. To a lesser extent, in official Concours d'Elegance circles such as the Classic Car Club or America, the word "classic car" has a very strict definition that includes only cars built during a certain period of time and only cars that originate from Europe or America.

Several L.L.Bean salesclerks prefer to use butane cartridge stoves in the summer. Butane is light, clean and requires no pumping or priming to produce an instant flame. You simply plug a cartridge into your stove, turn it on and light it. During the colder months, many use white gas or unleaded fuel. The fuel is inexpensive and produces a lot of heat, which is critical during winter when campers melt snow for drinking water. See similar questions...

A vintage date refers to the year that the grapes, used in a particular wine, were picked. A vintage year is important because if a particular winery or region has a "difficult" or "poor" growing year, it may be reflected in the quality of the wine. See similar questions...

Burn pot (Figure 15): Checked daily and cleaned periodically to keep air inlets open. Frequency of cleaning depends on fuel type, grade, and content. Ash drawer (see Figure 15): Emptying recommended before starting new fires and occasionally during stove operation. Frequency depends on fuel and stove design. Typically once or twice a week, but monthly in some new designs. Heat exchanger (Figure 16): On some stoves, simply a matter of moving a rod that scrapes the tubes inside the stove.
