Corning "Pyrex Grab-It" Storage Container, 1977-1990
01
Artifact Overview
Corning Glass Works' heat-resistant glass bakeware, called Pyrex, was introduced in the mid-1910s. Pyrex products were inexpensive, with an easy-to-clean smooth surface. Corning introduced its durable "Grab-It" bowls with a single grabbable handle in 1977. The bowls could be popped into the oven or, more importantly, the microwave to cook or reheat meals. A corresponding plastic or glass cover helped preserve leftovers in the refrigerator.
