Not only are these sets made from a durable glass that resists stains and odors, but they can be used in an oven, refrigerator or freezer. I have a beautiful 40 piece set and 6 extra luminarc tumblers that are just gorgeous! I’m truly hoping that these are fine so long as they are not crystal.If you’re in the market for quality kitchen sets that will make preparing, cooking and storing foods a breeze, you’ll love glass cookware sets. So if anyone knows of testing that I can do (cannot afford the scanner!) or knows of someone else who has already done it on these particular “pressed” glass beauties, please let me know. I still scratch my head because there should have been a HUGE quantity of people, especially the rich, dropping like flies using dinnerware and crystal glasses for drinks!!! Yet, people from earlier generations were healthier then than today! Just weird. The only thing I found online was that this company produced leaded crystal and then pressed glass and they were not the same. Thank you in advance and for all that you do!!ĭoes anyone have information about the Ruby red arcoroc pressed glass dinnerware and lead? How about luminarc ruby red tumblers? I’ve done the light test and the hitting with a metal knife test, but nothing. I apologize for the abundance of questions in advance! After days of online research, this is one of the first places I’ve gotten SPECIFIC answers, rather than just general information. They feel smooth, can these possibly contain lead? Lastly, I have some new ceramic dinnerware that we got as a wedding gift from bed bath and beyond, as well as smoked glass drinking glasses (we use for regular drinking) my ceramic dishes are decorated, but i don’t “feel” the paint ridges like I can on some other decorative plates. But it’s harder to find large glass containers that work for cereal.

Everything seems bad! I have a few questions… I saw anchor hocking seems to be a reputable brand, do you know about their storage jars?Īlso, do you happen to know if BPA free cereal containers such as OXO are safe? If I’m not heating them up and only using them for dry food storage, is there potential of leakage? Or should I stick to glass for cereal too? I’m doing glass for pasta and grains. I just came across your website today! I was in search of safe pantry options and was absolutely HORRIFIED after beginning my google search. They are non-porous, will not stain, and are incredibly resistant to acidic substances. Beyond that there is NO harm in using vintage pieces providing they do not have visible damage. There was a brief period (approx 1989-1995) where some lines were made with a SIlverStone (Teflon-like coating) but those are the exception. I myself, in fact, prefer cooking in some of the earliest pieces because they are a heavier weight with thicker walls and handles on the saucepans, for example. Visions began production in the late ‘70s in France and has never contained lead or nickel as an element of its creation. While damaged pieces of Visions should not be used, Visions is not susceptible to thermal shock the way regular glass bakeware is and that’s why it has always had a 10 year warranty against breakage due to extreme temperatures.Īs far as new vs old. The accounts of “exploding” glass bakeware generally stem from people mistaking brown and cranberry Pyrex for Visions and then Visions getting the blame. It’s a proprietary glass melt that is heated to the point that it crystallizes, creating a beta-quartz based glass-ceramic product. Visions is made of a transparent Pyroceram material (called “Calexium” in some regions). Visions cookware is not, and has never been, made with borosilicate or soda lime glass. I was reading your page and wanted to note a few items to allay some concern. It’s just about all I use myself and even have a group on Facebook devoted to it. But if I’m replacing my dishes specifically to get some without toxins, then I want to be sure about what I’m getting. Part of me thinks I’m being ridiculous and the ones are I got prob fine. I’m thinking now I might return the dishes I just bought and get some that have either been tested by somebody or at least that say “lead free.” Prob best to get USA too. I understand that Arc Intl (parent of Luminarc) manufactures in several countries, including France, China, Russia, UAE, and USA. However, the Luminarc dishes I just bought say “Made in UAE” and do not say “lead free.” One of those was a Luminarc mug the Amazon product description says “lead free” and “Made in USA.” Irina, this blog post by Tamara Rubin included Amazon links to several mugs she has personally tested.
