Pyrex can be used in the freezer, fridge, preheated oven and microwave. Yes, Pyrex can go from the freezer to a preheated conventional oven. Some tips that some people do not know are as follows....

When cooking meats and veggies in a Pyrex that release liquid while baking you must add enough liquid to cover the bottom of the dish. If not the cold juice that seeps out will shock the dish and well you know what happens...

Also NEVER set a Pyrex baking dish on top of the stove after taking it out of the oven to much sudden temperature change. You are to take it out and sat it on dry pot holders.

Avoid any sudden temperature change with Pyrex.

When I was a kid I remember being asked to move a glass casserole dish out of the way, so I put it in the sink and turned the water on. It prompty shattered into about half a dozen pieces, and it freaked me out a bit. So I very rarely ever put glass in the oven and even then i use cork hot pads on the counter. I am generally freaked out that too much cold to fast will make the dish explode in my hands. I know it's a bit foolish, but has anyone else broken a dish like that? I think it was Pyrex, but I can't be too sure I was probably about 8.


No this has never happened to me thank goodness but I have always been told not to put cold water on it or put it in the fridge just to let it cool on its own that if I did any of those things that it would break. I guess that I have been very lucky though that this has never happened to me.
