Rating: - Wonderful Set! The Best!
I love this set. Absolutely love it. I have always heard that Pyrex is the best you can buy, but wasn't sure until I had my very own kitchen to cook in. I received this set as a gift, and it has been a total lifesaver! If you follow the directions, everything should be fine. It is easy to use, and so convenient--just don't take it out of the oven, and put it in the freezer ;-)

I have not purchased this precise set of Pyrex, but I grew up using Pyrex, and I now own all the pieces in this set except the mixing bowls, the cool plastic lids, and the little ramekins (although my grandmother has the mixing bowls and my mother has dozens of the ramekins). I did previously make the mistake of trying to simmer a sauce on the stovetop in the covered dish/dutch oven - and after the 5th time I did that (I hadn't read the instructions at that point, either), the dish *did* break. Lesson learned. That's why they say don't use them on the stove! However, I think it says something that the dish stood up to my inadvertent abuse 5 times before it finally gave up the ghost. Also, when using Pyrex (or any other glassware) in the oven, you must have *some* liquid in the bottom of the pan to start with, otherwise when the hot juices of whatever you're cooking drop onto the glass, it can cause the pan to shatter. My guess is the other reviewer with the rib incident neglected that step. One other thing to note (personal experience speaking here again) is that you should *never* put a Pyrex pan on the stove over the oven vent to cool. It will overheat and shatter. Invest in trivets or cooling racks instead! :-) At any rate, I am very pleased with my current (10+ yr. old) set of Pyrex, and am in the process of expanding my collection. It's great stuff as long as you follow the simple directions (much like any other product).

I highly recommend this set. I love the mixing bowls and the 4 smaller bowls I have used for dips for parties, it's a perfect size! I only use Pyrex measuring cups, so this one is perfect. I also love the pie pan and the covers that come with the set. It really is a nice addition to any kitchen!
