Pyrex was the first to create a line of glass bakeware so cooks could actually see how their food was cooking. At the time, the idea was revolutionary; now--like all great innovations--we take it for granted. In fact, these days this large baking dish from Pyrex (a company that's been making quality glass products for the better part of a century) costs about as much as dessert and coffee for two at a swanky cafe. Not a bad deal, considering it transitions flawlessly from oven to microwave to freezer to dishwasher, and, if you're moderately careful, it will last you a lifetime. This dish's 4-quart size is perfect for jumbo cakes or a casserole for a crowd. --Meg Heffernan

My new (6 month old) pyrex broke violently shortly after it was taken out of the oven and set on the oven to cool. None of the stove top burners were on or had been on for hours, and ut was NOT on a burner which vents heat from the oven. All the dish contained was bread pudding, and it certainly hadn't been roasting under the broiler. The glass shards were numerous, large, sharp, very hot, and flew everywhere, with an enormously loud breaking sound, so whether or not you want to call that an explosion, I'm very glad I wasn't in the room. I've been cooking with pyrex my whole life and never had a problem with it before, so I'm loth to give it a bad review, but it was a pretty scary experience.

In case you haven't read the January 2010 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 made of borosilicate broke" Amazon sells the safer European product: [ASIN:B002KHNQ3E Arcuisine Elegance Glass 2.8 Quart Rectangular Baker]

Don't get me wrong, I love my Pyrex kitchenware...But...after several years of use, this particular one shattered explosively! Opposite from the other reviewers, mine was cold, I had removed it from the freezer (I had chilled candy in the freeze) placed it on a glass stove at room temp...after approx an hour my teenage son went to remove a piece, and the dish violently shattered. Glass went at least a foot each direction, found shards about three feet away in the middle of the kitchen floor, not to mention on my sons bare feet. And ruined a beautiful batch of Sea Salt Caramels!
I have never seen this happen with any of my other Pyrex...just a warning to others, maybe it's just not made like it used to be...I'm still using the Pyrex that my parents received for their wedding 60 years ago!

This is a great dish and impossible to find this size in stores
If you make casseroles for large groups, this larger size dish will do the trick. It's durable. Remember it's glass, so caution when cooking as it tends to brown on the bottom... Read more

Wow! Pyrex is the best

great dish
mine had a strange chip out of one of the side 'handles' - it was smooth, not rough, so i decided to keep it since it won't effect the backing or shape of the items being cooked,... Read more
