I sanded mine and now I have a non stick pan. I just can't use metal utensils as it does scratch.

They are amazing. I can see what's happening without removing the lid. They are shock resistant so you can take it out of the freezer and put on the stove.

The actual material is called pyroceram and it has been used in the defense and aerospace industry. It van take a massive beating and is very resistant to shattering.

I believe it's also the same type of glass that's used on a lot of electric stoves, so it can definitely withstand extreme heat shock.

Though, even knowing that, I'd still be (irrationally) afraid to use these, only because of some bad experiences with some "shatter-proof" Pyrex glassware in the past.

It isn't glass. It is a composite material

Those two aren't mutually exclusive.

In fact, Pyroceram is according to Wikipedia a glass-ceramic.

It is a glass which has a special composition and was heated so much, that it loses some part of its glass character but retains some other. So calling it a glass is not wrong.
