Anchor Hocking Oven Basics 6-Piece Bake-N-Take Bakeware Set Review

Anchor Hocking Oven Basics 6-Piece Bake-N-Take Bakeware Set
Average Reviews:

The quality of the dishes in this Anchor Hocking set is reasonably close to the Pyrex set that I also have, but the carrier itself is much better in the Pyrex set. The Pyrex carrier is sturdier and has more insulation, and the Anchor Hocking carrier is already cracking a bit in places after being used only a couple of times.

Anchor Hocking Expressions Glass Cookware, 33-Piece Set Review

BUYER BEWARE! DO NOT USE AROUND CHILDREN, WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IF USING. Go to this website: [...] It's full of people explaining the exact same dangerous situations that I had.
The following is the complaint that I sent to Anchor Hocking regarding their product.
My husband bought me three of your glass pans for Christmas 2009 in Woodburn, Oregon at one of the factory stores in the outlet mall. I've been using Pyrex brand glass dishes previous to this. I've used the dishes a few times for different meals and brownies with no issues, until last night. I put chicken breasts into one of the Anchor Hocking glass pans, the rectangle one about 7"x10" (approx), and put it into the oven set at 375 degrees. After 8 minutes, there was a loud explosion and my husband and I went rushing back into the kitchen to discover that the glass pan had exploded inside the oven, destroying our dinner and damaging the inside of our oven. There are hundreds of pieces of glass all over, and even after doing my best to clean it all up, I'm still finding shards of glass today, making it dangerous to use the oven. I've looked around online and found the consumer affairs website where it looks like this is a problem that has happened to MANY MANY people using your bakeware. Since this is a known issue, I'd like to know what you plan on doing to make this right. I will be throwing out all of my other pans from your company since I now know that they are not safe. THEY'RE NOT SAFE! I can't believe that you're making a product that is actually DANGEROUS! It's dishes for crying out loud, and they're actually UNSAFE! The following links will show you 8 pictures I took last night of the mess your company's product made.

Lock & Lock 3.6 Cup Rectangular Storage with Trays Review

Lock and Lock 3.6 Cup Rectangular Storage with Trays

I use this and an Emsa E503392 Clip and Close Shallow Rectangle Storage Container with 3 Inserts to pack my lunches for work - I like the dividers to separate out foods that I don't want to mix or leak into other items in my lunch, and I love that the seal and clips mean the lid won't leak or come loose in my purse on my commute. The volume and size is just about perfect for an adult's meal. If you like to pack bento style lunches, or just want to pack a variety of foods in a single container, this is a great product.
In the context of packing lunches, the only drawback is that I would prefer a container that is not quite so deep and had more length and width to hold the same volume. You kind of have to 'stack' food up to fill the depth of the container. The layout of the Emsa container linked above is perfect; however the material of the Lock & Lock container trays/inserts seems more durable than the Emsa, holds up better in the microwave and resists stains a little better. So the two are about equivalent for my purposes and I use them interchangeably.

CorningWare French White Pop-Ins 8-Piece Round Bake and Serve Set Review

I have had this set and individual pieces associated with this set for quite some time and I love it. I'm someone who brings my lunch with me to work daily and absolutely love the ease of these products. The sizes are just right for an entree and one or two sides. I use the mugs for chili and soups, the bowls for entrees, french onion soup, pumpkin pudding and a laundry list of things in between. Just last night I made chicken pot pies. Baked, frozen and later on today they'll be microwaved. Perfect for those who enjoy cooking, enjoying leftovers, bringing lunch to work and easy clean up. Staining and retaining odors does not happen with these, as it can with other storage products. They certainly win hands down over plasticware with regard to its versatility.

Nordic Ware Microwave 12 Piece Cookware Set Review

Nordic Ware Microwave 12 Piece Cookware Set

I recently purshased this set and have had real problems trying to get the lids to 'snap' on.
The majority of the lids alMOST fit, which is somewhat frustrating in itself. I've tried pressing, pushing, popping, and even putting all my weight on the lids without success. Swearing didn't help the lids fit any better, either. No surprise...it seldom does. I even tried pliers to try to snap the lid on the oval piece. Only succeeded in breaking the lid. The aforementioned swearing rapidly graduated to cursing, although no hair cuttings, nail clippings, hatpin-stuck small dolls, nor sacrificial small animals were involved. And, the lid STILL didn't pop onto the cookware.
You just have to marvel at how the lids can come sooooo CLOSE to fitting...but, just absolutely refuse to go that extra hair's width to make the seal.
NordicWare....WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THOSE LIDS???!!!!
The lid issue aside, I've used the cookware frequently for storing leftovers in the fridge and for microwave reheating of same, and the cookware works fine. It cleans up well, and it looks nice.
There, I've said something positive.
But, again...NordicWare....WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THOSE LIDS???!!!!
