Win a Pyrex limited-edition set (https://competitions.thewest.com.au/images/stories/compimages/pyrex_habitat_620x200.jpg) Pyrex Classic kitchenware brand Pyrex has marked its 100-year anniversary by releasing a limited-edition collection. More than 65 million Pyrex products have been sold in Australia since the company was launched, with the brand estimating that one in five Aussie households owns a Pyrex piece. Pyrex was founded after the wife of an employee of its inventors, Corning Glass Works who in the early 1900s used the strengthened glass for lantern globes on railways used a piece of the same heat-resistant glass to bake a cake. After noticing several improvements including faster and more uniform baking, Corning Glass Works set about perfecting its new invention and an iconic brand was born. The original line of Pyrex bakeware included 12 items which revolutionised home cooking worldwide, many of which are still available today, Kylie McKinnon, general manager of distributor World Kitchen Australia, said. 100 years ago the team behind the Pyrex brand created the glass baking category and we believe the next generation of family cooks will continue to use Pyrex glass products for 100 years to come. It is available from David Jones, Myer, Big W, Woolworths and selected retailers, with prices starting from $9.95. WIN Habitat and Pyrex are giving away a limited-edition prize pack containing a pie plate, measuring jug and storage container.
