Anchor Hocking Glassware Reviews

I would never buy this product again. I had one explode in my microwave. A child been standing there or picked it up. It would've been very ugly. I left detailed messages for customer service and never heard from anyone.

Had several Anchor round storage container of different sizes. Every single lid have a tear. Not sure what kind of plastic they use. But the Pyrex brand of the same size, have intact lids. Also you can see the difference in the glass compared to Pyrex brand. Should stick with Pyrex/pyrex brand instead.

I live in Rocky View County in Alberta, Canada. We purchased a set of glassware back in October of 2025 and we love them. This morning (February 10, 2026), one of our lids became too hot and misshapen in the microwave, and no longer fits or seals on the glass container. I emailed Anchor Hocking right away, hoping I could buy a new lid. They replied within a couple of hours, asked for the ID number on the underside of the lid, and said they would send me a new one. That is top-notch customer service. We love our products from Anchor, and being treated so well made us even happier. Big thank you to their customer service group!

I've had Anchor Hocking glass storage containers for years. The lids have worn out, in addition to some getting lost. I had immediate results from my correspondence with Anchor Hocking in obtaining new replacement lids. Customer service was immediate: hearing back the next day after inquiring on the website correspondence window. Such a breath of fresh air in dealing with a large company.

The glass tray exploded in my oven in like two three minutes at the temperature of 325F, the food and broken glass was everywhere in the oven. The glass went everywhere in the oven. The link is the picture I took. **

It exploded in the oven within 5 minutes. This site won't let me post the pictures. I emailed the company, with pics. I got an automatic reply that it will take up to two weeks to answer my email. What does that tell you?!

Always have purchased Anchor Hocking in the past. Had one I purchased 2 weeks ago in Wolf microwave under “reheat” and within 30 seconds, it exploded in the microwave. I should have checked this website out sooner as it has similar glass explosion reviews. BTW, their customer service is awful too. You’re just out of luck.

I have always used these baking dishes, but today the 13x9 baking dish exploded in the cabinet for no reason! The temperature is about 70 degrees, no sudden changes of any kind, and boom, I check everywhere try to find where the noise come from and opened the cabinet door and glass was everywhere!

Price is too high for d*** lid raise. I got ripped off. They sent me 3 in the package. Set for answer all inferior in a crack. Made in USA. I do not have time to return this. I wonder if I could just get one cent to me. Zero.

Purched the dish. Took it home and went to wash it by hand and as soon as it touched my dish water it shattered. Thank goodness I had dish gloves on this could of been a painful disaster. All my years of cooking this is a 1st. Brand new not a scratch. My water isn't even that hot out of the tap. Hope this don't happen to someone else. It's Dangerous.

This product is supposed to be oven-safe. I cooked a quiche in it. It sat on my oven for maybe 10 minutes before I heard a few pops. I came over and it was literally crumbling to pieces around the quiche. I could have seriously injured myself or my dog. I can't believe these are sold; I'm really angry.

I purchased a 9" pie plate to bake a blueberry pie. Made my crust, made my filling, put it all together and placed it into the preheated oven. 10 minutes into the bake I hear what was glass breaking in the oven. The pie plate burst sending shards throughout the oven and ruining my pie as well. Sent two messages to the customer service department WITHOUT A RESPONSE FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT whose sold job is CUSTOMER SERVICE. I would simply tell you not to purchase anything associated with this name. They don't care about you as a consumer and their products apparently confirm this.

I was making four quiche and was baking the pie shells. Opened the oven door. And one of the pie plates had burst and there was glass all over the oven. So I had to throw out all of the crusts because there were shards everywhere. This plate went from being room temperature to the oven. So there wasn’t an extreme temperature change. It hadn’t been banged on anything. Just exploded.

I goofed thinking the lid that ultimately melted was made of the same material as rubber oven mitts. Company forgave me and sent another one. PS. Another plus: items aren't made in China!!! Company also has a customer-friendly way of contacting them. They have my business from now on!

Cooked a meatloaf in oven. After removing the meatloaf I sat the 9x13 casserole dish on top of my stove burner, which was not hot. About 10 minutes later the dish exploded and threw glass about 7 feet away.

Was cooking spaghetti squash and butternut squash in the oven at around 350 as I have done many other times. About 20min into cooking I heard a very loud noise... wasn't even sure where it came from at first. After looking around the kitchen and seeing nothing I opened the oven only to find that the dish had literally exploded in the oven ruining dinner. Let me tell you, this was a fun mess to clean up. It wasn't like the dish just cracked - it actually shattered into lots and lots of pieces. I was shocked. I also figured that even though my time would be wasted cleaning up this huge mess and my dinner ruined that I could at least contact Anchor and get a replacement dish. Unfortunately I was wrong.

So tonight I went to cook my meatballs for my meatballs subs. Put my frozen meatballs in the baking dish and stuck it in the oven. Not even 10 minutes literally long enough for me to go start a load of laundry and I heard something breaking. I came upstairs and was about ready to yell at my cat for knocking something over and breaking it. Then I realized I should check my oven. When I did I had meatballs and glass everywhere in my oven. So needless to say I have glass and meatballs to clean up now and I didn't want pizza!!

As we do often we baked our cornbread in the Anchor ovenware. When done as always we carefully set it on the kitchen counter. After 30 to 45 minutes we heard a loud explosion and Glass shards everywhere throughout the Kitchen! And No it was not a sudden temperature change either. Needless to say nothing in the vicinity was edible due to shards chunks and tiny glass pieces everywhere. Could have been worse from other reviews I have seen just since this happened. Way back from 2009 and this was today 12/4/2022 so why is this still an issue???

Bought 9x13 baking dish, and some chicken legs (thawed) at store. Came home. Leaned dish, prepared the food to go in the oven. Preheated oven to 375, and put the dish in the oven on a metal cookie sheet. After 3 minutes in the oven, heard a loud explosion. Found the explosion was the Anchor Hocking baking dish shattering in the oven. I believe it to be unacceptable to not even be usable for one use. My experience with their brand will be forever ruined, and do not believe that they could possibly give a resolution to correct this.

I purchased 15 piece baking set, 24 piece storage and 3 larger ones at Belk. Opened boxes and all of them had chips inside the cookware, deep cracks and bubbles. Took to store to exchange and all the boxes they had left had the same issues. So annoyed I opened a credit card just to purchase these to make and store baby food safely. Clearly not safe. So annoyed. Don't have time for all these returns and carrying heavy boxes with a baby.
