Product Information

The size of the pans, including the true diameter of the pan as well as the depth and overall volume. Are Pyrex Lids Oven Safe?: Pyrex plastic lids are not oven-safe (they will melt in the oven). They’re designed to keep leftovers fresh in the fridge. If you need a cover in the oven, replace Pyrex plastic lids with aluminum foil. Pyrex glass lids that come with the casserole dishes are safe to use in a preheated oven. Not only is this pie plate relatively easy to find, but it also comes at a price that won’t leave a hole in your wallet. It all comes with the reliability of Pyrex’s signature tempered glass, used in their entire line of kitchen and bakeware—from measuring cups and casserole dishes to storage containers and dinnerware.

Don’t use Pyrex to microwave popcorn or heat foods in browning wrappers. Microwavable popcorn bags and browning wrappers are specially designed to concentrate heat in targeted spots, and may damage the glass. Pies baked in metal pie pans usually cook faster than in ceramic and glass pans. Because metal conducts heat faster, the outside of the pie is likely to cook faster than the inside of the pie, which is most noticeable when cooking custard pies. The crust is also likely to brown faster in a metal pie pan, sometimes requiring you to cover the rim of the crust with foil when baking especially large pies, like apple pie, that take longer to bake. Pies baked in ceramic and glass plates tend to cook uniformly across the pie, since the pie plate provides more insulation than metal and heats up at the same speed as the pie filling. Pies may take anywhere from a few more minutes to half an hour longer to cook all the way through compared to metal plates. Yes, you can use a pie pan to bake a cake, but you should be aware that pie pans typically have angled sides and cake pans have straight sides. Because of this difference, if you're making a layered cake, the edges of the cake will be harder to frost. The cakes can be trimmed to get rid of the angled edges but may still be difficult to frost. Generally, cake pans should be used for baking cakes, but in a pinch, a pie pan will do if you aren't interested in how good the final product looks.

A runner-up pie pan: Pyrex 9-Inch Glass Pie Plate

Don’t heat empty or nearly empty glass containers in the microware. When heating oil or butter in the microwave, heat only for the minimal time required—don’t overheat. We baked both a delicate coconut cream pie and a hearty apple pie in this dish, and were impressed with the results of both pies. We immediately noticed that the tight fluting around the edge makes a great guide for a consistent finger-crimped pie crust. The coconut cream pie released cleanly and evenly from the plate in perfect slices, while both the top and bottom crusts of the apple pie cooked all the way through. Are Pyrex Glass Mixing Bowls Oven Safe?: Pyrex glass mixing bowls are oven safe up to 425°F as long as the oven is preheated. They are also microwave-safe but can’t be used on the stove or under the broiler. The bowls’ accompanying plastic lids are not oven-safe.

For beginners, this pie pan does a lot of the work for you when it comes to decoratively shaping your pie crust. This beautiful, fluted pie plate is part of cookbook author Rose Levy Beranbaum's line of baking gear. The ruffled edge easily gives your pie an artistic flair, even if you’re not good at crimping the crust or finishing it with a fancy edge. The flutes also let you lift the pan easily from below, so you won’t mess up the crust as you retrieve the pie from the oven. This pie plate can even be used under the broiler if your crumb crust is a bit too pale. For safety, always use both hands when removing Pyrex glassware from the oven. And, of course, always use potholders. If easy cleanup is an important consideration, choose a pie pan that can be put in the dishwasher over one that requires hand-washing. Can Pyrex Glassware Go in the Oven?: Yes, Pyrex glassware can be safely used in a preheated oven up to 425°F. However, Pyrex plasticware and plastic lids are not oven-safe and are meant for storage only. Before inserting the glassware, the oven must be preheated (otherwise, it can shatter). Oven-safe Pyrex items have “PREHEATED OVEN ONLY” etched at the bottom. The most important thing to remember about Pyrex cookware is that while the glassware is oven-safe, the plastic lids are not.Do not use Pyrex® glassware on the stovetop (open flame, electric burner), under the broiler, in a toaster oven, or on a barbecue grill. This type of usage exposes Pyrex® glassware to potentially damaging direct heat sources. Pies, both sweet and savory, are usually served in the pan they were baked in. That’s why looks matter more for pie pans than for other baking pans. Many manufacturers offer different color options and attractive designs. Abigail Abesamis Demarest is a freelance writer, editor, and former New Yorker based in sunny Panama City Beach, Florida.She still loves her Emile Henry Ruffled Pie Dish. Available in three colors, the retro design plays up the nostalgic feeling of a fresh-baked pie straight out of your grandma’s oven—which is really half the point of a comforting homemade pie in the first place. And if taken care of, it's likely that this pie dish might last generations and actually be someone's grandmother's pie dish one day. When Pyrex glassware is exposed to radiant heat, like that of a heating oven, the side of the glassware closest to the heat source grows hot while the inside and other parts further away from the heat source remain cool.

Pyrex® glassware is designed to be as versatile as it is long lasting. You can use it to prepare, store, cook, bake, warm or reheat food—in pre-heated conventional and convection ovens, or in microwaves. And cleanup is easy – just place your Pyrex® glassware in the dishwasher. As with any glass product, there are a few common-sense precautions to keep in mind for your safety when using Pyrex® glassware. Your safety is important to us, so please read the guidance below.If you don’t use Pyrex® glassware in a way that is consistent with this guidance, it could break and cause injury.We measured the diameter of each pan from the inner edge of the rim and found that the Lindy's pan isn't a true 9-inch pan, but comes close at 8.5 inches. You'll want to keep that in mind when making pies, as you'll probably use slightly less filling than a recipe calls for. It produced a perfectly par-baked shell in less than 25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The custard pie that we baked came out smooth and creamy without overcooking, scrambling, or uneven browning. Unfortunately, cutting slices of pie directly in the pan can leave marks on the bottom of the pan, but it doesn't detract from its overall functionality. Additionally, make sure your glassware has reached room temperature before heating it. You should never place glassware directly from a refrigerator to an oven.
