Where can I buy borosilicate (Pyrex) bakeware in the U.S.?
Because of the shattering dangers of the apparently inferior lime glass that Pyrex uses for manufacturing in the U.S. as exposed by Consumer Reports, I'd like to replace my Pyrex with borosilicate bakeware. Apparently Pyrex used to manufacture their bakeware with borosilicate until about 10-15 years ago in the U.S..
I thought I found a manufacturer (Marinex) that used borosilicate, and though they advertise it as such, based on this report, it turns out that the materials used by Marinex still may not be as safe as "true" borosilicate bakeware.
How can I purchase true (new) borosilicate bakeware from the United States? It doesn't have to be manufactured in the U.S., and I'm open to ordering it from foreign stores that export to the U.S.. Specifically, I'm looking for 13x9 and 11x7 rectangular, and 8x8 square baking dishes.

I believe the following companies advertise that they produce bakeware made out of borosilicate available in the US, :
I can't speak to the boron/boron plus/zero boron debate, but those are the two I would investigate.
I know that Bodum also advertises borosilicate products, but I'm not sure if they make bakeware.

Eyeball It. If you have a dish at home that you want to test you can also try just looking at the hue.

If the glass is Borosilicate then you should not see any color.Which is better Pyrex or borosilicate?
