I don't know anything about Pyrex other than I had a link to that site handy when out thrifting.

I did find this and find it interesting however no idea if it's factual. It's about British Pyrex.

Nice Davey. Pink is still a great and wanted color in kitchen ware. Very retro.

I think, that the markings, stampings and some designs on UK Pyrex and Fire King items have different marks than the ones here in the USA.

Is this one like yours?

Agree with pearls about pink being in demand.
I get really good prices for the pink. Getting harder and harder to find.

 

Oh darn! I've been USING a pink bowl for decades, ruined the pink part!

 

This reminded me that I have some of the pink casseroles dishes here with lids.
I have had them for at least a decade from an estate sale but kept forgetting.

 

You can see better, it's a crown on the bottom...and I love the pink!!!

 

Here in the states that shape is called a spacesaver and it has a lid that is usually about the same price as the base. They are what usually doesn't survive without chips. Pink daisies do sell well.

Using it is OK, that's what it's for. You're not alone. I ruined an entire set of Polka Dot nesting bowls by putting them in the dishwasher and just plain using the heck out of them. edit: since 1970!

 

I've ruined so much in the dishwasher that I don't risk my nicer stuff in there now. If the dishwasher doesn't water spot or water stain it, it fades the ceramics and glass colored enamels, or the worst thing - my dishes and especially my bowls - get chipped in my dishwasher!! No idea how this happens, they aren't banging against each other! We recently turned the head down on the hot water heater with hopes this could help. Ideas?

I love having a dishwasher, but the damages are more often than I'd like..

 

Same here and my glasses.
Never had this problem with my old dishwashers.

Any of you use cascade whatever those pod things are called? I have always put my Revereware through the dishwasher. All of a sudden the old dirty bottoms are coming out shiny copper. It is also now leaving a weird coating on the aluminum broiler pan. So what have they added to the dishwashing soap?

 

I use those pods but I never put pots and pans in the dishwasher. You might need to contact P&G to find out what's changed. I use the dishwasher for my dishes that we eat from, stainless silverware and drinking glasses and coffee mugs. The rest I hand wash. Nothing vintage goes in there. Over the years I learned what to put in there and what not to put in there by ruining things, so now it's just the essentials and things that were manufactured to take the abuse. Of course, I NEVER use the heat cycle. The high heat in itself can destroy tableware. I don't know if turning down the hot water heater temp will help because I think the dishwasher also heats up the water. My hot water is set to safe mode so the water never gets hot enough to accidentally scald someone. And the water in the dishwasher is hotter than the water in my sink.

 

All of the new appliances are CRAP. We had the kitchen remodeled in 2011 with all new appliances and I have already replaced the Refrigerator and the Microwave. The dishwasher had a repair under warranty and the range/stove had a $700 repair right after the maintenance agreement expired.

 

Oh, wow, I haven't run any pots or pans through mine in over a decade - I didn't realize shiny copper was possible from dish soap lol - no idea! I dislike the pods, by comparison to the old cascade powder in a box. I didn't realize there was any actual reason to dislike them other than if you pick one up with wet hands, it could come apart on you, but I could dislike the part about changed ingredients just because I dislike change in general!

The dishwasher over heating the water - makes sense to me, I bet my own darned dishwasher heats the water so much hotter than I would ever realize, and then I do use the heat cycle afterwards too! Thanks for the ideas, Ola. I've gotten used to eating off of my chipped dishware! Nothing much matches in my kitchen anyway!

But it never happened with my old dishwasher, left that one behind in 2006.
When we moved in, the washing machine that came with our house smelled like mildew! Turned out to be a problem with side door washers - how I wished I hadn't given away my old Sears Whirlpool washer and dryer!

My friend's father suggested we look at Roper brand because Whirlpool bought the company and sure enough, I was able to find an inexpensive top loading washing machine with the old center action whirl thing to better wash our clothes. Looks and works like an older model Whirlpool. So, I can recommend the Roper brand washer over the Maytag I replaced, but that was some years ago.

I still have my old Montgomery Ward microwave saved up in the attic, purchased in 1977. Used through 2006 when we moved in here. I think the electronics on it would still work if I ever need to replace my newer one that came with the house. Our attic is very dry, and that microwave is very large - I cooked a turkey in it more than once!

Totally agree.

 

anti, not using the Heat cycle on your dishwasher still leaves your dishes dry if you leave them in the washer for about an hour. The residual steam dries them. Except of course for where the water puddles anyway, you just have to wipe that away. Saves on electricity too.

 

Thanks, Ola, the water always puddles on the plastic containers that must be held down in the top section by a nearby bowl or cup! I will try using it without the after effect of heat - this will definitely save on electricity! Thanks!

 

And I always dribble that puddled water onto my socks ...
