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.

What is a convection microwave and how does it differ from a traditional microwave oven?

A convection microwave is a type of microwave oven that has a built-in fan and heating element to circulate hot air around the food, allowing for faster and more even cooking. This differs from a traditional microwave oven, which uses only microwaves to cook food quickly but may not provide the same level of browning or crisping as a convection microwave.


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.


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.


Can the American Heritage microwave oven AHMO 6172 be used in baking cake?

Yes, the American Heritage microwave oven AHMO 6172 can be used for baking a cake, but it may not produce the same results as a traditional oven. Microwaves cook differently, often resulting in a denser texture. It's important to use microwave-safe bakeware and follow specific recipes designed for microwave baking to achieve the best results. Additionally, keep an eye on cooking times, as they can vary significantly from conventional baking.

What causes microwave interference?

Microwave interference can be caused by nearby devices operating on the same frequency as the microwave oven, such as other appliances or electronic devices. Additionally, physical obstructions or interference from metal objects can disrupt the microwave signals. Improper grounding or faulty microwave oven components can also contribute to interference issues.


Can you cook frozen cookie dough in microwave?

Yes, you can cook frozen cookie dough in the microwave, but the results may not be the same as baking in an oven. To do this, place a portion of the frozen dough on a microwave-safe plate and heat it on high for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, checking for doneness. The cookie may turn out softer and chewier compared to oven-baked cookies. It's best to experiment with your microwave's power level and cooking time for optimal results.


Can you heat same food several times in microwave oven?

Yes. Be careful not to burn it, though.


Can you bake something in a microwave bowl in an oven?

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.
