Please stop using vintage Pyrex glassware for cooking & serving food — it’s often coated with high-Lead paint & can test positive for Cadmium, Arsenic
“If the Lead is only on the OUTSIDE ( … of my dish, measuring cup, mixing bowl, etc.) why does it matter?”
Vintage pink Pyrex refrigerator dish: 179,000 ppm Lead (nearly 18%!!!) + 7,003 ppm Cadmium and 12,300 Arsenic!
Red Vintage Pyrex Food Storage Container with Lid: 310,000 ppm Lead + 14,200 ppm Arsenic + 33,200 ppm Cadmium
How worn is your vintage Pyrex? Even with very worn paint this piece is still positive for a high level of Lead (Pb) at 23,000 ppm.
