Pyrex Easy Grab 9.5" Glass Pie Plate, 2 Pack

Product Information

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. 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. The durability of the pan materials and surfaces, if they were easily marked or damaged when slicing the pies, and the stability of the pans when transporting pies. Most pie pans are 9 or 10 inches in diameter, but there are also models in between, which is a good compromise for any standard-size pie. A 2-inch-deep pie plate works best for double-crust pies and single-crust pies with a generous filling. A 1.5-inch-deep pie plate can be used both for double-crust and single-crust pies.

Once the pie dough is resting on the pie pan, you begin shaping it by smoothing the dough across the bottom surface of the pan and then fitting the dough into the crease of the pan. Next, you'll press the dough against the sides of the dish, allowing any extra dough to hang over the lip. Trim the dough about half an inch past the lip of the dish, and crimp the edge of your pie crust as you like. Never try to reuse broken Pyrex glassware, even if the majority of the dish is intact. Dangers to Avoid When Cooking With Pyrex 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.

When washing Pyrex® glassware by hand, use non-abrasive cleansers. To remove baked-on foods, soak the dish and use a plastic or nylon cleaning pad if scouring is needed. Deep-dish pie means you can have more filling in your fruit pie and more meat in your shepherd’s pie with enough room left for a generous topping of mashed potatoes. This pretty deep-dish ceramic pie plate has a cheery blue exterior with creamy white on the inside of the pan and on top of the rim.To test out just how much filling could fit in this pie pan, we loaded it up with 4.5 pounds of apples, which is on the large side even for an apple pie. We were impressed to see that the apples baked perfectly even all the way through the pie without turning into applesauce, and the crust cooked nicely on the bottom without being soggy. When comparing this plate side-by-side with the Great Jones pie plate, we thought the plates looked and performed nearly identically, with only a few minor cosmetic differences. This one is slightly deeper, though. But there are understandable concerns about using Pyrex in the oven, especially with so much chatter online about the possibility of it shattering.

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. The most important thing to remember about Pyrex cookware is that while the glassware is oven-safe, the plastic lids are not. 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. All of these mistakes could result in broken glass and a big mess. Take heed and avoid these situations when using your Pyrex products. Are Pyrex Lids Oven Safe? So, if you’re hesitant to use your Pyrex in the oven and want to know the safety facts, keep reading.

It’s important to note that Pyrex glassware is preheated oven-safe, which means it’s oven-safe, but only if the oven is preheated before inserting the glassware. I explain why this is so important in the next section.
