Yep, there are two types of Pyrex and these differ when it comes to handling change in temperature and direct heating. If you’re like me, you think — pyrex oven safe glass — it can go in the oven without cracking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m thinking back to my mom’s dishes when Pyrex by Corning was popular. But today’s Pyrex is not the same. I did some research…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
>>> To avoid confusion, this article answers questions in relation to Pyrex \u00ae as sold in the US, Asia, and Latin America, but further down I explain the two different types.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Glass can go in the oven if it is the tempered type. What temperature is Pyrex safe in oven? Tempered glass is oven safe to 450 \u00baF. Pyrex is tempered glass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, a lot of cookware have glass lids and these can go in the oven safely up to this temperature or otherwise stated by the manufacturer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a guide, the below table indicates the temperatures for different materials, including toughened (tempered) glass. Handles are often what limit use in the oven, as I explain in my article on putting that stovetop pot in the oven<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pyrex safety and usage<\/a> guide clearly states not to use Pyrex with direct heat. Examples of placement they say to avoid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What not to do with Pyrex glass bowls<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, Pyrex can go in the oven. But there are a few precautions to avoid damaging your glassware. One is to preheat the oven first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another is to make sure liquid covers the bottom of the glass dish before it goes in the oven with fatty or frozen foods. This will help reduce any potential thermal shock as the contents release fluid into the bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the Pyrex dish is already hot, don’t add liquid to it as this may compromise it’s strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It depends on the particular product whether you can bake in pyrex glass bowls. Theoretically you can if it’s tempered glass, but Pyrex bowls are made for storing and for mixing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My advice is that it’s safer to use glass dishes specifically designed for baking<\/a>. I would not want to risk the bowl cracking and glass splinters contaminating my food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No. You risk exposing Pyrex to thermal shock and shattering the glass if you take it direct from the fridge to the oven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To be safe, let it come to room temperature for about an hour to allow for gradual change in temperature and avoid thermal shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes as Pyrex is tempered glass, it can go in a 450 \u00baF oven. Make sure to preheat the oven before putting in the Pyrex dish and also follow the other tips above for safe oven use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes as tempered glass is safe in the oven up to 450 \u00baF, Pyrex can go in a 375 \u00baF. Make sure to preheat oven first and follow other safety instructions by the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes. You can put Pyrex in a preheated oven. This is recommended. As otherwise placing a pyrex dish in a cold oven and then heating it risks exposing some parts of the dish to intense radiant heat as the oven heats up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pyrex is a brand name of glassware, first marketed by Corning. Actually, today the trademark of pyrex \u00ae (lowercase) in the US is licensed to Instant Brands<\/a>, (who are better known for their Instant Pots<\/a>) while in Europe, PYREX \u00ae (uppercase) is licensed to International Cookware<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Confused? It all changed some decades ago and then again when Corning moved to manufacturing and marketing industrial products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Older clear Pyrex was made of borosilicate glass and this type is still made in France in Ch\u00e2teauroux<\/strong> and sold in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Since 1980, pyrex in the US<\/strong>, Asia and Latin America, comprised a cheaper tempered soda-lime glass<\/strong> composite.<\/p>\n\n\n Did you know, the older borosilicate glass outperforms the soda lime composite in durability and resilience to thermal shock (caused by rapid heat change). <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s worth noting however that the soda-lime glass used in the US pyrex is tempered for heat resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Professor Delbert Day, a materials scientist and engineer, stated “tempered soda lime is not designed to withstand extreme temperature changes the way borosilicate is”. Professor Mauro gave the measure of thermal shock resistance, CTE, of the two, with the higher the number having less resilience to thermal shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGlass in the oven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
