Still not sold? Chowhound Executive Food Editor Hana Asbrink stocks her family's cabinets with both the all-purpose and latte sizes and lauds Duralex as the sturdiest glasses around. "I've dropped them multiple times in the sink while washing dishes and they don't bat a lash; and the smaller ones are good for kids' hands. Not to mention they stack nicely and take well to both iced and warm drinks."
This set of 18 tempered glasses consists of six 8-ounce glasses, six 13-ounce glasses and six 18-ounce glasses all suitable for both cold and hot liquids (up to 266°F). Duralex is versatile, chip-resistant and 2.5 times stronger than ordinary glass.
