I was reading an article in the Fall2012/Winter2013 issue of "Chemical Heritage" (R. Blaszczyk, Cooking with Glass) about Pyrex bakeware. Apparently when Corning developed borosilicate ovenware, the first dish produced was a pie plate. The names considered for the glass were thus Pie-Rite or Py-Right, but then it was changed to Pyrex in 1915 (to rhyme with Nonex, another brand of Corning glass). Seems appropriate to mention pie on Thanksgiving! Hope yours is good.
