Just search on www.ebay.com for "Pyrex Flameware" and you will find things like : Vintage Pyrex Flameware Saucepan Skillet + Handle SET Vintage Pyrex Glass Flameware Skillet w/ Handles 1930's Pyrex Flameware saute pan w/ detachable handle It is highly unlikely that you will find a new one. The reason is that the formula r for Pyrex before 1940 was way more resistant to thermal shock , but also more expensive. The current formula is more resistant to mechanical shocks but can not take rapid cooling (like adding cold liquid in a hot pan when you are making a ragu) without shattering. I have no info on the advantages of a glass pan except the "cool factor" Hope this info helps. |

Corning made a Visions pan - I had a set and used it for years. You might find them on eBay or at a garage sale. I didn't really like it as a pan - took a long time to heat up and then stayed hot, thus making a gas stove into an electric and making an electric even less responsive. It's not completely clear, it's kind of brownish.
