What else can I help you with?
Why did your Pyrex cake pan crack in the oven?
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.
Can Pyrex casserole dishes be used in a portable halogen oven?
Yes, any oven ware you would use in a conventional oven can be used in a portable halogen oven.
Can pyrex go under the broiler?
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!
Is Pyrex dessert bowls oven safe?
yes, all pyrex dishes are tempered glass and can go in the oven
Can you use a pyrex casserole with lid in a halogen 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.
Can pyrex go from refrigerator to oven?
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.
Is the Pyrex dish marked with the oven safe symbol?
Check for the oven safe symbol on the Pyrex dish.
What is the maximum oven temperature that Pyrex can safely withstand?
Pyrex can safely withstand a maximum oven temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is the Pyrex oven safe symbol clearly visible on this bakeware?
Yes, the Pyrex oven safe symbol is clearly visible on this bakeware.
Can you put a plate in a gas oven?
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.
Should you lower the oven temperature when using pyrex?
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.
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.
