QUESTION:
Is all glass nontoxic? Maybe Pyrex makes some? Assuming there are heat resistant glass mugs, are all glass mugs a safe option for coffee, tea soup etc. or do I need to know anything else about the glass before I buy? What about a glass kettle does one exist? Thanks again.
ANSWER:
I consider all glass to be nontoxic, except for lead crystal, which contains lead that can leach into the beverage. Even colored glass is OK (see Q&A: Colored Glass).
