Borosilicate Glass Cookware Is Underrated and Non-Toxic — Shop Pyrex and OXO for Under $35

If you’re looking to trade in your old, scratched pans for affordable, non-toxic cookware, borosilicate glass is a great material to look for. What is borosilicate glass? It’s made with silica and boron trioxide, which makes it more stable than regular glass. Borosilicate glass can withstand extreme temperature changes, making it a great option for cookware.
