Yes, Pyrex dishes can go directly from the fridge to the oven as they are designed to withstand temperature changes.
Most likely it was cold. Pyrex is very good at taking shocks in temperature but it does have limits. I've seen Pyrex dishes break when taken directly from the refrigerator to a hot oven.
Yes, any oven ware you would use in a conventional oven can be used in a portable halogen oven.
Nooooooooooo!!!! Pyrex is not ever safe to freeze. Your answer no doubt comes as a surprise to all the cooks who have been baking casseroles in Pyrex, cooling them and sticking them in the freezer. After that they can go directly to the oven or be defrosted first. Ask the Pyrex people!
yes, all pyrex dishes are tempered glass and can go in the oven
The simple rule of thumb is - if it can be used in a CONVENTIONAL oven it can be used in a Halogen Oven. My understanding though, is, if a Pyrex dish was to be used with a lid it might not cook the food properly. A Pyrex dish without a lid would cook the top of the food fine but leave the bottom soggy.
Check for the oven safe symbol on the Pyrex dish.
Yes it can. I usually let it sit on the counter for about 10 - 15 minutes just in case there is a flaw in the pyrex dish.
Pyrex can safely withstand a maximum oven temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yes, the Pyrex oven safe symbol is clearly visible on this bakeware.
Depends on what the plate is made of. If the plate was made by a heating process, such as ceramics baked in a kiln, the answer is usually yes. Products that specifically say oven-safe, such as Pyrex glass dishes, can go in the oven safely.
According to Pyrex it does. I'm not sure why this is; my best guess is that if the oven heats up unevenly while the Pyrex is in there (like maybe the rack gets extra hot first) the temperature differentials on the glass can stress it.
Yes, Pyrex can be used in the microwave as well as conventional oven.
