*Sigh*. Okay, that tea pitcher is *not* Pyrex, despite having worked okay for the first batch of tea. (Sorry: "was" not Pyrex...)

Yaas, although I don't know if they make lab-grade Pyrex tea pitchers...

I think a 1L beaker might work. An Erlenmeyer as well. Creative appropriation of lab equipment. :)

Heh. True, and I probably would just buy it if I could find just one of them. (It does appear to be a mild pain to get lab-grade Pyrex other than in case lots.) But I'll probably wait and see if my commercial-grade 1L Pyrex tea pitcher survives first, and upgrade to some lab version if it doesn't...

Cooking with labware

A friend of mine in college bought a 1L beaker (*) and used it as a small cookpot. Macaroni was fun, 'cause you could watch the convection currents carrying the pasta up and down.

(*) I'm not sure whether the dispensary let us buy our own chemistry equipment (the only time I had to go there was to pay for a beaker I'd broken), but he worked for the professor who ran the orgo lab.

The lab stuff is more sensitive to scratches, though, isn't it?
