Microwave Metal?

[A. Maberry]

I wouldn't consider Pyrex to count as a pan either, although the ones that
are pan shaped with handles like pans present a problem for me. I think of
Pyrex as dishes or bowls or casseroles, etc. I don't know where
to locate the Pyrex dish/Pyrex pan line ... maybe somewhere south of an
imaginary line drawn between New Haven and Seattle perhaps.  On the other
hand, maybe the subconscious reason I never purchased the pan shaped Pyrex
cookware was simply because I had no way to refer to it.
