Pyrex
Pyrex is a proprietary brand name that has become a genericized trademark in common parlance. While it specifically refers to borosilicate or tempered soda-lime glass, users often employ the term to describe any heat-resistant glass bakeware regardless of the actual manufacturer.
In a domestic context, the word carries a connotation of durability and utility, typically associated with home cooking and laboratory settings. Because it is a brand name, it is conventionally capitalized in formal writing, though it is frequently seen in lowercase in casual contexts.
