Shatter proof glass is a fiction. But these are very durable. Owned 2 years, daily use, broken 1 out of 6. 4 1/2 stars

Not bad... remember these are plastic bowls... More for storing food (e.g. leftovers -which I use it for). Then doing brownie mixes. Could you use them for that purpose (mixing for brownies and cookies) Sure..... but as you most likely already know... glass bowls are probably be best. I'm not saying that you shouldn't purchase it. Just keep in mind that you are working with plastic ... the price is right and you can't go wrong. Good luck and don't forget to share your cookies!JG

They are not fragile. I've broken only one out of a dozen. 4 ft drop to concrete. Easily as sturdy as any glass of like size. Slightly heavier in my opinion. Hold the cold like crazy.

I think they can withstand heat; just not from cold to hot. I think most glass is like that.

Being glass, I can't say they are shatter "proof" but they are pretty heavy so I'm sure they could take a little beating.

Check out the question "Are these bowls like Pyrex" where one comment reports finding lids by Lekue on Amazon that work with these bowls.

I would write or call the manufacturer. When I received mine broken, I simply went on amazon and went through a simple return/replacement process. The new ones they sent seemed much more stronger glass

I've never tried it. However, I think I remember seeing somewhere that they are not over proof. We love the bowls, which we bought in several sizes. Gary

They are made out of tempered glass. While I use them to serve hot foods (such as soup), I personally would not use them in the microwave.Since microwaves work by exciting electrons (read as 'heating up')--particularly in water molecules--I personally would not microwave food or liquids in glass of this thickness (even though it is tempered glass). The reason for my hesitancy is the thickness or thinness of the glass itself.However, this is just a personal preference. Since the bowls are made of tempered glass, one could microwave food/liquids with less chance of breakage/shattering as compared to un-tempered glass. They are made out of tempered glass.

They are made of glass. I don't think they'd take any significant impact without breaking.

Not sure about the tempered glass but I pour boiling water over my teabag every morning & it's been fine. The only problem I've had is being very careful when washing them; they crack & chip easily but I'm on my second set of 4. I really like them; they hold about 16 0z of fluid each.

I am not aware of any replacement bowls. You would have to find who the manufacturer is and ask them. Sorry.

No, not in the year we've owned ours. We put food in them, freeze them (lids on), then put them straight in the microwave (lids off). We are not particularly gentle with them. However, as a glass artist, I'm going to tell you a secret: ANY glass CAN explode. It is an inherent danger of all glass. You get a particular kind of bubble when making it, or a scratch/chip from hard use, and then even a minor temperature differential can cause the glass to shatter. Manufactured glass almost never gets those bubbles. Most likely, that reviewer or her MIL (or someone at the store) had dropped the container and it had chipped or cracked, possibly without them noticing. This can happen to any glass, as I said. But it is rare. Look at all the glass in your kitchen, and in your friends' kitchens, and ask yourself how many times something has exploded, and that should give you an idea. Having a glass item explode, while very scary, is not as dangerous as it sounds. Other than fairly minor scratches/puncture wounds, the only real danger is your eyes. I wear goggles in the shop, and I've had several things explode. Outside the shop, though, I don't risk my eyes. And you shouldn't, either. For safety, you should always very carefully check any glass item after dropping it and, if it is chipped or cracked, even if it's very minor, toss it in the recycling bin. I know most people don't do this, and I know many times it doesn't explode even then. But there is that one time, when the crack or chip is in the right place, and the temperature differential is in the right place, where it will. Is it worth the risk to your eyes?

I'm not sure, I'm sorry. I would try doing a search in google or checking with the manufacturer of the tempered glass cutting board to see if they offer to send some.

Mr Thomas, I sincerely feel that you would not have any problems at all with these bowls regardless of what you do with them as long as it comes within the scope of normal use. Buy and enjoy.

i don't think so. you might call them and ask. i would never do business with these people again for anything. they are awful and their products suck. i would check someplace like craigslist. these things don't last long at all and someone might have just the bowl.

They are made from tempered glass which makes them very sturdy. I've used mine for at least 3 years and have not had one break or even chip yet. Use in a conventional oven is not recommended.
