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

I would say no...I was worrying about that too when I got them as I am making fruit slushes for our Cancer Support group and freezing them. I was look for a cup that had a little give to it that wasn't brittle and these are just perfect for my needs....

No, if it is a sturdy glass, it is not tempered. Tempered glass does not mean the glass will not break, but at least you will have less chance to be injuried.

If any bowl is going to hold up to that, this will. I haven't had any problems with temperature variations with these bowls. (Unlike Anchor Hocking, a supposedly high quality tempered glass product, where I've had some experiences with shattering.)

My guess is that they are the soda lime glass. Pyrex doesn't do much borosilicate glass in their kitchen cookware in the states. I hear that soda lime glass is a bit more resistant to breakage when dropping. In fact, these came in a box that was completely crushed, and a number of double wall metal pans were damaged and twisted out of shape very badly. The bowls survived without even a chip! Also judging from my mom's heavily used 20 year old set that is most probably made of soda lime (Pyrex switched in the 1940s), they can be very durable, and I don't expect any breakage.

This would not be a problem. These are made of tempered glass, like Pyrex, and can handle quick temperature changes, in my experience. Barring a particularly faulty bowl, this would not be an issue.

Hi, mine are clear and I love them, haven't broken one yet but we rarely brake glasses or dishes, although my brother who has the same told me they're very hard to break even if they fall on the floor, hope this helps you!

There is a product called T-Glass or Sapphire Glass. But, I don't know who makes it. It's distributed by Spigen (http://www.spigen.com). You might try them.

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

They are like glass if not glass. But they don't break or chip when you drop them. If you hit them with a hammer, they'll break.

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

I have had mine for a couple of years and have not had any problems. I do try to be gentle and remember that they are glass. Maybe place a towel paper in between each bowl when you stack them.

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.

Hilarious, I just broke the glass and was going to go see if there was glass tubing available... Hopefully we will both find out soon. Good luck.

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

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

Per other comments, they are fairly fragile if they are bumped or dropped, true. Some items can bounce and survive but these will chip or shatter into pieces. Note: I stack mine in the cabinet but keep a folded paper towel or two between each bowl to prevent any possible chipping. I have had mine 2 yrs or so and all still fine which is a miracle for me!
