Notice that it is spelled with a little "p", if you kept any of your old PYREX, I think it is either with a capital "P" or all caps. I have never used it in the oven (even my old PYREX) above 350 degrees though, but I know I have friends who did and with the old stuff, I think they were okay. It is true, that they don't make things the way they used to!

No one felt like eating dinner after glass flew everywhere - I think they had to order pizza! My oven is still recovering from my accidentally melting my plastic cake carrier. Every time I think there cannot be a shred of melted plastic anywhere there is a horrible smell.

I’m off to check (or maybe chuck) my three Pyrex pans, all that I have here I think. Our oven in Florida is a microwave-convection combo and glass pans were recommended. I hope that is true there.Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14270588850092355358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-50623046504156833632020-11-16T20:40:44.578-05:002020-11-16T20:40:44.578-05:00Yup!

We use the glass pans in the oven all the time, and while some of ours have been with us a long, long time, it's good to know that the newer ones can be so dangerous. I always just figured they would crack if the sudden temperature change was too much for them to handle, not that they would shatter like this.<br /><br />Oh...and that photo in your heading is absolutely magnificent.

All my Pyrex and Corningware are really old. Some were from our wedding (40 years) and some belonged to my mother and even my grandmother. I've not bought a new glass baking dish for decades. I will say that in thinking about it, I always put a dish on hotpads. Maybe a few times on the stovetop, but not often. I think most thing I've cooked in them were 350 or 375 max. I usually roast on metal pans - like cookie sheets. These days, I don't use my bigger glass pans much. We're not big leftover eaters and so I'm trying to cook for two and not much more. Glad this didn't turn out worse. Enjoy your new pans!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-31627170792367032592020-11-15T10:51:44.670-05:002020-11-15T10:51:44.670-05:00If it ever does happen, let me know!!!

I do love my old Pyrex and Anchor Hocking casserole dishes but from now on will be wondering if it could happen.
