Buy Pyrex Grip-Rite 3-Quart Oblong Baking Dish Clear

Customer Ratings:

In case you haven't read the January issue of Consumer Reports yet, let me summarize: The American makers of Pyrex have changed the formula for their glass, substituting cheaper ingredients which make it more likely to shatter from heat. The European Pyrex still uses the traditional Pyrex formula and is as heat-resistant as always. "We baked at least five samples of each brand in a 450-degree oven. All of the U.S. Pyrex and Anchor dishes shattered when placed on the wet countertop. None of the European dishes ... broke" here's the European product: [ASIN:B002KHNQ3E Arcuisine Elegance Glass 2.8 Quart Rectangular Baker]

Please do not buy pyrex bakeware. I had been a loyal Pyrex user for years, but this Christmas I put a brand new pyrex baking dish in the oven at 325 (an extremely low heat for cooking). About 40 minutes in, the dish exploded like a grenade. There was glass everywhere-on the walls of the oven, even tiny bits on the ceiling of the oven. When it happened mother had been about to open the door to check the progress of the dish we were cooking. If she had opened it when the dish exploded, I have no doubt she would have been severely injured.

Let me be clear: this pan did not crack into pieces, it blew up. When I told my mother-in-law, she said the same thing happened to a friend of hers. I called consumer safety and made a report. I also called Pyrex. They said, "that's unfortunate but sometimes glass breaks." Please, for your own safety don't buy this product or any of their other cookware. Frankly, I would avoid the measuring cups too, if you plan to put hot liquid in them.

I would have given this item no stars if that were possible.

The item description is somewhat misleading. The length is measured from outside handle to outside handle. I purchased the item thinking it was the inside dimensions. I should have purchased the larger baking dish. It works fine but a little small.

Honest reviews on Pyrex Grip-Rite 3-Quart Oblong Baking Dish Clear

I bought this about two years ago. I've used it about once a month or less. (Probably not even 20 times.)

Half an hour ago I opened the oven and tried to remove my roast when the dish EXPLODED in my hands.

At this moment, I'm sitting here furious with a burned wrist, a cut foot and a hungry family waiting for pizza. I have a $14.00 rump roast (with all the trimmings) in the garbage. My stove is dismantled and cooling in pieces. (I'm cooling off, too.) There is shattered glass and roast drippings all over my oven bottom and door and the floor.

I had cooked the roast for 1.25 hours at 375*. NOT an unreasonable expectation for a casserole dish.

Stick with metal, people!

(I can SMELL that perfect roast still! *grrrrr!!!*)

Since the original company was sold, these Pyrex products are no longer made the same. They can no longer go from freezer to oven. Mine literally exploded when it was taken out of the oven and placed on a cutting board. Shards of boiling hot glass shot in every direction and I was burned. My area rugs were destroyed from the hot glass melting them away. This is not only a defective products, it it potentially lethally dangerous and I recommended people reading up more on the injuries caused by this "new product." DO NOT BUY IT and if you do DO NOT PUT IT IN YOUR OVEN!
