Pyrex (the traditional borosilicate glass Pyrex made by Corning before 1998) is safe for both applications. Avoid the more recent Pyrex made by World Kitchen. The January 2011 issue of Consumer Reports indicates that it is not safe.

Is all corningware dishes microwave safe?
Corning ware indicates that it is safe up to 350 F. It is actually safe up to over 450 degrees, but the glass top is not. My Mom's used this stuff in the oven since the 50s (yes, original pieces even). Corning ware was developed from the same stuff they used on ballistic missles.
Can you take a hot glass dish from the oven and put it in the fridge without breaking the glass dish?
A regular glass dish - that is very cold when taken from the fridge, will crack if placed inside of a heated conventional gas or electric oven, due to the rapid change in temperatures - thermal shock. A regular glass dish that is very cold when taken from the fridge, may or may not crack if used inside of a microwave oven, since a microwave oven heats the food first, and not the dish itself. A pyrex dish - that is a cooking vessel of some kind - that is very cold when taken from the fridge might crack if placed inside a heated conventional oven, however if the oven was cold and then started the same dish will probably not have a problem. Usually it is best to let the dish become room temperature before placing it in the oven. A pyrex dish even cold may not have as much of a problem in a microwave oven, again since the microwave oven heats the food directly and not the dish. Corningware that was made from pyroceram (generally the older dishes) as well as the Visions line of Corningware cookware can withstand the sudden temperature changes of a cold fridge and an oven - whether the oven is a conventional or microwave oven. If you are unsure whether the dish is pyrex, stoneware (often used in many casseroles), Corningware pyroceram or Visions Corningware - then it is best to set the dish out until if becomes room temperature and to not preheat the conventional gas or electric oven. Often the bottom outside of the dish will indicate if it is oven or microwave oven safe. Since microwave ovens do not generally heat the dish inself, there is less danger of cracking with most cooking vessels.
Is a barracuda larger than a bread box or microwave oven?
no its the same size
Can you cook brownies in a glass bowl?
No, absolutely not. If you put glass in the oven, it will crack and turn brown. It will ruin the pan, the food, and the oven. NEVER PUT GLASS IN THE OVEN. * * * * * * * * * * I don't know how old this post is, but actually, you CAN use glass such as Pyrex or Corning. I use a gas oven and that's all i use. I no longer have metal pans. Just check the "User Guide" that comes with your dish/pan. If it says it's safe to use in oven, you're fine. ************** It can. My mom used even a safe to use in oven glass pot and it exploded.

Microwaves definitely speed up this long process, but they can destroy a lot of the nutrients and you just don't get the same crispy skin in the microwave.

What is the equivalent of 5 minutes on high in microwave to baking in conventional oven?
From a resource which said that a microwave set on high is equivalent to a 375 degree conventional oven setting, and the microwave cooking time is 1/4 of that for a conventional oven; a microwave set on high for 5 minutes would be the same as a conventional oven set at 375 degrees with a cook time of 20 minutes. You might have to adjust a bit from that with trial, but it should give you a starting point to work from.
Are there any inventions that are a direct result of the microwave being made?
Hi there yes there was since the micro wave has beed made alot of products have been made.One of the products is a microwave oven it does what an oven does but at the same time being able to do microwave functions.This was probabley the most direct result.
My current microwave oven causes my circuit breaker to trip if I use it at the same time as my toaster oven. Will this microwave solve that problem?
It's doubtful; I wouldn't be able to answer that for sure unless I knew the particulars of your set-up (what is your microwave/toaster's draw? what kind of breaker do you have? etc.), but I don't see any reason why this microwave would help that situation.
