The new stuff is differently good.
Old pyrex was formulated to be very good at handling thermal shock, but in return it was very brittle. Dropping an old Pyrex would shatter it instantly.
New pyrex is formulated to be more drop safe, but in turn it doesn't handle heat shock as well. However it is still perfectly fine to use with hot liquids as long as you don't do something completely stupid, like put a hot pyrex onto a cold wet counter.

Corning stopped producing borosilicate kitchenware in 1998, to focus on their laboratory supply business.
A sun-off subsidiary, Correll, now licenses the pyrex name and makes lime-soda glass kitchenware.
In yurop there is a different licensee making borosilicate glass, but it still isn't Corning.

Not sure what you mean.
You might be complaining about how fine the gradations are, but that's not the entirety of it.
The surface being hydrophilic or hydrophobic also matters.
Also, learn to read off a minscus in graduated glass, it's not difficult.

>Corning sold its Pyrex brand to World Kitchen in 1998 and the new company changed the formula. The old borosilicate glass was more heat tolerant than the new pre-stressed soda-lime glass. Both are consumer-grade tempered glass, both can break if used improperly, however the new Pyrex is less durable at extremely high temperature.

Adding boiling water to a Pyrex wouldn’t shatter it unless you had the Pyrex in the freezer beforehand, and even then it would still probably be fine.
Glassware should be room temperature when you put things in it.

I don't know what you guys are buying but just after reading this thread I went upstairs and my sister was pouring boiling water into a pyrex 2 cup measurer.
