I have noticed that the edge of one of my Pyrex measuring jugs is starting to chip away at quite a rate just lately.
Now in fairness, this jug is over 30 years old so it has been pretty hard-wearing up to now. I must have cracked many an egg on those edges over the years too. Is that what has caused the damage?
I have an identical Pyrex measuring jug that is "only" about 15 years old and it is still perfect.
I had a notion that unless you actually dropped Pyrex and smashed it to pieces, it would last indefinitely. (Though I found a thread on here about exploding Pyrex which was quite alarming!)
I suppose I should throw the chipped jug out?
Should I stop cracking eggs on the edge of the other one? Or is there anything else that could have caused the chipping? (I don't bash spoons or anything else on the edges.)
