Just an FYI, in the description you say 3 round, 4 rectangle, 3 square, and 9 matching lids. That totals to 19, not 18.

3 round containers, 4 rectangle containers, 2 square containers, and 9 matching lids = 18

You added one extra square that is not on woot.

I see the problem now. The story says one thing and the features say the correct amounts.

Likely, especially since Amazon owns Woot. http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/30/woot-amazon/

I thought you were trying to avoid baking your apples? If you need to bake a demo for this and want to kill two apples with one task, I highly recommend apple crisp. Probably wouldn't ship well in a jar, however.

CowboyDann, you do shill for DWChat quite a bit. Also, keychain monkeys? I can trade you some, um, misprinted shirts? Or I could trade you some cash. (Good luck with your move, BTW: I moved four or five times in the past year and I recall how stressful it was each time. If I were in the area, I'd offer to help, but instead, I can only send good wishes. Hey, want a misprinted shirt as a housewarming gift? :p)

First, the question of Snapware glass. Likely soda lime glass ("tempered"), but this article has flaws, such as saying you can't stick Snapware in the oven (this model can):
http://glassstoragecontainers.info/the-types-of-glass-that-go-into-making-glass-storage-containers/

and Snapware says it's tempered glass (which to me implies it's not borosilicate but rather soda lime glass):
http://www.snapware.com/questions

Regardless, you have the warnings from snapware on care:
http://www.snapware.com/use-care

Consumer Reports had their own study of the issue in January 2011, but the link is for subscribers only (there are more parts to the article, I'm just linking to the test):
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine-archive/2011/january/home-garden/glass-cookware/glass-cookware-tests/index.htm

They wanted to test beyond the manufacturer's recommendations baking with sand inside for 80 minutes.

The upshot of testing U.S. Anchor Oven Basics and Pyrex soda lime glass is that at 400 and 450 degrees, they all shattered when put on the wet counter. Only one of the European borosilicate dishes broke--the Arcusine Elegance (France), being baked twice.

At 500 degrees, all of the European borosilicate broke (European Pyrex Classic and Arcusine), but a really old American Pyrex borosilicate survived even 500 degrees.

Two American Pyrex broke being put on a smoothtop range from the oven, the other 3 didn't break, and did okay moving to dry granite.

Two last caveats. Tempered soda lime glass did show the highest impact resistance, but it varied in ability among the dishes (and in theory, tempered glass isn't supposed to break into sharp shards, but I've read enough stories about shattering that I'm not so sure on that one).

Finally, their longer safety tips:
"To minimize the chances of glass bakeware shattering, read and save the safety instructions on the product's packaging. Here are some safety rules to follow:

Always place hot glassware on a dry, cloth potholder or towel.
Never put glassware directly on a burner or under a broiler.
Always allow the oven to fully preheat before placing the glassware in the oven.
Always cover the bottom of the dish with liquid before cooking meat or vegetables.
Don't add liquid to hot glassware.
If you're using the dish in a microwave, do not use browning elements, and avoid overheating oil or butter.
Do not take dishes directly from the freezer to the oven or vice versa.
Never place hot glassware on top of a stove, on a metal trivet, on a damp towel, in the sink, on a cold or wet surface, or directly on a countertop.
Inspect your dishes for chips, cracks, and scratches. Discard dishes with such damage.
To avoid risks associated with glass dishes, consider using metal bakeware for conventional and convection ovens."

Even given all of this, I might buy these. I'd comment on the pyrex sales link, with similar discussion, but I'm out of time: http://home.woot.com/Forums/viewpost.aspx?postid=4729678&pageindex=1&replycount=91

Sorry, have to go back to work. Hope this helps. Good night.

Borosilicate can and should also be tempered. Tempering refers to baking the glass at a high enough heat (but below the softening point) that the stresses are taken out of the glass. This makes the glass much less likely to break under ay kind of strain.

That said, more than likely it is soda ash. Fine for everyday storage, not something which I'd bake with.

Woot has great stuff and I've bought tons. I do avoid anything used with food or kids that isn't made in the USA. Not sure about this product.

Real quick, thank you (and thank you Your Thighness for the above).

FAIL! those were pyrex, these are snapware.

Is this glassware also good in the freezer?

specialops787 wrote:Is this glassware also good in the freezer?

Yes, it said on their site you can use it in the freezer, but don't put it directly in the microwave frozen.

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to locate and share all of this information.

FTR I even bought a Dyson from woot, but the site has been and is going downhill for this user.

I just received my Snapware from UPS. It's a box of broken glass.
What now Woot?

We also received my Snapware from UPS today and it is a box of broken glass too. I don't know who pack it, this package don't add any protection at all. They just place the original box inside another bigger box. Crazy.

Mine came in a box in a box. No packing whatsoever and the glass is chipped with shards all over. Whoever packed this offer needs to be fired!

I need to get a new one sent. Was looking forward to using it but not if I'm going to be swallowing glass shards!

Darn - I finally got something from woot that arrived quickly ... but one whole set of these is busted in a million pieces; the other has glass in the bottom of the box so SOMETHING in the second box is broken as well. Very disappointing.

Please be careful handling the package, and drop a note to service@woot.com as soon as possible!

I purchased two sets of this Glassware on August 16 and UPS says they delivered it to my front porch yesterday, August 21(about 10 minutes before I got home). Nothing there. UPS says talk to the shipper. How the 'h' do I talk to Woot if I can't find any way to contact them. I would like to have the glassware since I paid some pretty good money for it.

Is there any way to be notified when these become available again?

Alas no! But if you check back once in a while, they just might!
