• Dangerous Pyrex
  My wife and I recently had a 13x9 Pyrex dish explode in the oven. The fire department came because the remnants of the dish caught on fire when the oil in the pan dripped into the pilot light beneath the oven. A simple web search afterwards revealed literally hundreds (yes, hundreds) of complaints about exploding Pyrex dishes. Consumer Affairs has been reporting the danger for years. Don't buy Pyrex.

• Deep dish casserole wasn't DEEP
  This was advertised as being deeper than what it turned out to be. It's a regular 9X12 casserole of which I already have several. I need one that is deeper than 2 1/2 inches for my enchiladas. Shipping was free and it was well-wrapped and arrived quickly. It will make a nice gift. This is a versatile dish and can be used for so many things...casseroles, cakes, fudge, brownies, or a serving dish.

• Could the problems be with newer Pyrex?
  I have been using the same 2- and 3-quart Pyrex oblong dishes for over 35 years with no problems. But mostly I bake chicken and desserts in them at temps no higher than 350 deg. I agree with another reveiwer that perhaps the problems are with manufacturing. Is the company cutting costs and/or is their Quality dept. lax? I was going to buy a new set of Pyrex, but after reading the negative reiews will keep my weathered old set.

• Fine for Baking, as Intended.
  This dish, and other glass ones like it, are for baking (casseroles, brownies, lasagna, etc.) and Pyrex serves this purpose just fine. But it is not intended for roasting, 400+ degrees, or direct conduction of heat!
  Unlike steel, cast iron or (especially!) aluminum, glass is a thermal insulator. Therefore directly applying heat/cold (like burner flame) results in disparate temperatures across the material. Since heat is just molecular vibration, the temp. difference means the dish is vibrating... more info
