It's safe to drink water boiled in this glass IF no poisons have ever been put in the glassware. Borosilicate is the glass originally used to make Pyrex cookware--in Europe they still use it, but in the US a different glass is used that doesn't break as easily when dropped.

While borosilicate glass is generally safe for containing and heating liquids, it is not recommended to ingest water that has been boiled in it. The high temperature of boiling water can cause leaching of materials from the glass into the water, which may be harmful if ingested. It is best to boil water in stainless steel, glass specifically designed for boiling, or ceramic materials.

Yes you can, but if it gets to hot it might break or crack

Pyrex is a type of borosilicate glass made by Corning. A lot of cookware is made from Pyrex, so I certainly hope it's safe!

What might happen to a heated glass beaker made from material that does not contain boron?

A glass beaker made without boron might shatter or crack when heated, as boron is added to glass to provide thermal shock resistance. Without boron, the glass may not be able to withstand sudden changes in temperature.

No, boiled water is simply boiled. Distilled water is when the steam from the boiling is gathered and rebottled.

Differences between soda-lime glass and borosilicate glass?

Soda-lime glass is more common and less expensive than borosilicate glass, but it is more prone to thermal expansion and may shatter when exposed to rapid temperature changes. Borosilicate glass is more heat-resistant due to its lower thermal expansion coefficient, making it ideal for laboratory glassware and kitchenware that needs to withstand high temperatures.

Why is Pyrex rather than soda glass used in cooking glassware such as casserole dishes and saucepans?

Borosilicate glass was used originally by Corning Glass for all Pyrex products because of its high resistance to thermal shock. The new tempered soda lime glass does not have the same resistance. It is normal window glass that has been tempered to give it heat resistance. Tempered glass, though tougher than normal glass, can still be scratched. This compromises the integrity of the temper and, if moisture gets in, the scratches can cause problems. Borosilicate glass can be scratched as well, but it does not break in the same manner as tempered glass: instead of shattering into many small fragments, it snaps in large pieces.


What happens to the volume of water when it is boiled?

When water is boiled, it turns into steam, which expands and increases in volume. As a result, the volume of water increases when it is boiled.
