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...
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.
