Pyrex has become a kitchen favorite because of its versatility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same dish can be used to mix ingredients, bake casseroles, store leftovers, and reheat meals, making it a convenient all-in-one solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, despite its reputation for durability, Pyrex is still made of glass and has limits that every cook should understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biggest risk is\u00a0thermal shock<\/strong>, which occurs when glass experiences a sudden, extreme temperature change. For example, placing a refrigerator-cold Pyrex dish directly into a hot 425\u00b0F <\/p>\n\n\n\n (220\u00b0C) oven can create uneven stress within the glass, increasing the chance that it will crack or shatter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To reduce this risk, allow chilled dishes to sit at room temperature for a while before baking, or place them in a cold oven and let both the dish and oven warm up together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving a Pyrex dish directly from the freezer to a hot oven is even riskier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether it\u2019s older borosilicate glass or the tempered soda-lime glass commonly used in many newer Pyrex products, no glass is completely immune to rapid temperature changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Frozen meals should be thawed first whenever possible or transferred to another suitable baking pan before cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also wise to avoid placing hot Pyrex on cold or wet surfaces, adding cold liquid to a hot dish, or exposing it to sudden changes in temperature. These situations can also create thermal stress that weakens the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pyrex has become a kitchen favorite because of its versatility.
