Baking with glassware can be convenient and effective, but it also requires a few safety precautions to prevent accidents or damage. Glass baking dishes are great for even heat distribution, but they can crack or shatter if handled incorrectly, especially under sudden temperature changes. The first rule is to avoid thermal shock — never place a hot glass dish directly on a cold surface or put it into cold water. Similarly, don’t move it straight from the freezer to a hot oven. Let the glassware come to room temperature before exposing it to extreme heat. Always preheat your oven before placing glassware inside, as uneven heating can cause stress on the dish. When removing it from the oven, use dry oven mitts and place it on a wooden board or cloth instead of a cold countertop. Make sure your glassware is labeled oven-safe before using it for baking. Some glass dishes are meant only for serving or storage, not for high-temperature use. Avoid broiling with glassware, as direct heat from the top can cause it to crack. For cleaning, allow the dish to cool completely before washing. Avoid harsh scouring pads or sudden cold water rinses. In Bangalore, stores like Bharat Glass & Crockeries, Kitchen World, Elite Hospitality Supplies, and Metro Kitchen Equipments offer high-quality, heat-resistant glassware for baking and cooking needs. While these brands provide durable options, safe handling is always key. By following simple precautions—like controlling temperature changes, using proper oven settings, and handling carefully—you can safely bake with glassware and enjoy reliable, long-lasting performance in your kitchen.

When using glass in the oven, it is important to always use oven-safe glassware, such as Pyrex or tempered glass. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing hot glass on a cold surface or vice versa. Always use oven mitts or potholders to handle hot glassware, and allow it to cool before washing. Additionally, avoid using glassware with cracks or chips, as they can shatter in the oven.
The proper method that should be used to clean glassware is to rinse it between three to four times with deionized water. If it requires scrubbing then use hot soapy water and a brush to clean and then rinse with water before rinsing again with deionized water.
Never, ever use anything metal to clean glassware. In particular, never use steel wool or metal mesh products. Nor should you ever use scrubbing compounds such as Ajax or Comet. The only things safe to use when cleaning cooking glassware are hot water, detergent, and a nylon scrubber.

Anchor Hocking glassware can shatter in the oven due to thermal shock, which occurs when glass experiences rapid temperature changes. If the glassware was taken directly from a cold environment and placed into a hot oven, or if it was subjected to uneven heating, it may not handle the stress well. Additionally, if the glassware had any pre-existing flaws or chips, these weaknesses can also lead to breakage. Always ensure that glassware is rated for oven use and follow proper heating guidelines to avoid such issues.
