>parent company of Pyrex among others, is planning to merge with Instant Brands, maker of the very popular Instant Pot.

Talk about a highly advertised product.

Before Instant Brands starts spamming 'Mom posts', about how great Pyrex is, expect it to be heavy and burn your hands if it gets hot. My tupperware isnt like this.

Advantage I see for glass is that it’s rather inert, so you never have to worry about BPA or whatever else leaching into your foods, or it catching on fire or melting. Harder to abrade Pericles into your food.

Also, glass can be scrubbed entirely clean, unlike plastic. When I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I had to throw away most of my dishes that were not glass or metal.

Disadvantages of glass clearly include fragility.
