Yeah! Definitely! My mother always had pyrex and then I got married and moved out. The rubbermaid have been pretty good, but the containers warp in the microwave when they're not supposed to, they retain stains from taco sauce and spaghetti sauce when they are supposed to be stain resistent, and my forgetful husband likes to leave them on hot burners on the stove. I lose many of them to stove melting incidents. I would love a good pyrex set for Christmas maybe.

Plastics don't just alter the taste of foods. They leach some chemicals that can have subtle effects on the way your body works, and they do this even more when heated. For that reason, I prefer Pyrex (for clear) or Corningware (for opaque) containers when we microwave leftovers to heat them or when we make something like custard. Pyrex is great!
