Last weekend scored on a set of Pyrex pots/lids

I am wondering about safety. Patti is concerned about any toxic materials? I say it is tempered glass so NO problems. And a couple of sites said not to use on the stove top/gas stove.....Sounds silly ...

It's the tempered glass bakeware that you shouldn't put atop the stove. Been using some of my Pyrex bakeware AND Corningware pots (used to be the same company)for at least 30 years and none ever shattered on me. I did make a clafouti (twas my fav dish for that dessert...sigh) in a 1940's era Fire King oval casserole that split in the oven one day but still dinna shatter.
