Pyrex Easy Grab 9.5" Glass Pie Plate, 2 Pack

Product Information

When you remove Pyrex from the oven, place it on a padded surface such as a dry, folded dish towel or potholder and let it cool. 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?

After researching the top-selling and highest-rated pie pans in every style and material currently on the market, we tested and evaluate each of these options side-by-side. The pans were used to test several different types of pies, from blind-baked shells to custard pies, crumb crust pies, and large double-crust fruit pies. We paid special attention to: 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. The size of the pans, including the true diameter of the pan as well as the depth and overall volume.We baked both a delicate coconut cream pie and a hearty apple pie in this dish, and were impressed with the results of both pies. We immediately noticed that the tight fluting around the edge makes a great guide for a consistent finger-crimped pie crust. The coconut cream pie released cleanly and evenly from the plate in perfect slices, while both the top and bottom crusts of the apple pie cooked all the way through. A little leftover pie is a wonderful thing, but storing the leftovers can be a bit of a challenge, particularly if you’ve made a pie with a tall and fluffy meringue top. This pie plate solves the storage problem neatly with a plastic snap-on lid that will keep the pie safe until the last crumb is gone. The lid has vent holes to release heat in case you have to cover your pie while it's still warm—reducing moisture build-up that could make the crust soggy. The short answer is yes; Pyrex glassware is completely safe to put in a preheated oven up to 425°F. But, Pyrex plasticware, including the plastic lids that come with the glassware, are not oven-safe. The plastic lids are designed for storage only and will melt if you put them in the oven. When using any kind of kitchenware, safety is paramount. But this is especially true of glassware like Pyrex, which can shatter if not used properly. 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.

Not for use other than as directed below and in the accompanying products Safety and Usage Instructions. Glazed in six different cool tones and finished with attractive fluted edges, these pro-grade porcelain pie plates retain heat for even baking. If the blue tones don't match your kitchen's aesthetic, the set is also available in white. We baked both mini pumpkin pies and apple pies in the pans and found that the crusts cooked just as evenly as the pies we made in full-sized pie plates. It took just as long to par-bake shells in these plates as it does in regular-sized pie plates, but it took slightly less time to bake the filled pies. The pumpkin pie took around seven minutes less than a full-sized version, while the apple pie was about 10 minutes less. Always preheat your oven before placing your Pyrex® dish inside it. While the glass is designed for temperatures typically used in baking, it can break when exposed to the direct heat element while the oven is preheating. 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.Don’t use Pyrex to microwave popcorn or heat foods in browning wrappers. Microwavable popcorn bags and browning wrappers are specially designed to concentrate heat in targeted spots, and may damage the glass. 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.

The final products were admittedly very cute, and fun to share. Three pie plates use about the same amount of filling as one full-sized pie, so all six pie plates would equal about two full-sized pies. Each mini pie served two people who really like pie, but we imagine it could also serve three to four people who just want a bite of pie. For beginners, this pie pan does a lot of the work for you when it comes to decoratively shaping your pie crust. This beautiful, fluted pie plate is part of cookbook author Rose Levy Beranbaum's line of baking gear. The ruffled edge easily gives your pie an artistic flair, even if you’re not good at crimping the crust or finishing it with a fancy edge. The flutes also let you lift the pan easily from below, so you won’t mess up the crust as you retrieve the pie from the oven. This pie plate can even be used under the broiler if your crumb crust is a bit too pale. 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. Donna Currie has written for The Spruce Eats since 2016.

Each material has its pros and cons. Ceramic pans are well-insulated, hold the heat, and the pies bake and brown evenly. A glass pan lets you monitor the crust while baking so you don’t overbake or underbake it. Metal pie pans are inexpensive and conduct heat very well but that can lead to a brown crust well before the filling is done. The heavier a metal pan, the less likely it is prone to warping. If easy cleanup is an important consideration, choose a pie pan that can be put in the dishwasher over one that requires hand-washing. 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. This pie pan is freezer-safe for prepping ahead, and it’s microwave-safe for reheating leftovers. Hand washing is recommended, but the ceramic glaze releases food easily for simple cleanup. We noticed a few light marks on the surface of the ceramic from cutting pie slices (and eating a few forkfuls straight out of the pan), but all of the marks washed off easily with soap and water.

If you bake pies to give to others or take to events regularly, it might be worth it to buy a handful. They're sturdier and more attractive than disposable pie pans while still being lightweight, but you haven't lost much of an investment if the pan doesn't get returned to you later on. For safety, always use both hands when removing Pyrex glassware from the oven. And, of course, always use potholders. Pyrex® glassware and lids are dishwasher safe, making cleanup easy and carefree. Keep both plastic lids and glassware away from direct heat elements in the dishwasher.A deep-dish pie pan can be anywhere from 1.5 inches to 2 inches deep. The depth of the pie dish is typically related to the diameter, with larger 10-inch pie dishes having a deeper measurement and an 8- or 9-inch pie dish having a slightly shallower measurement. Do not use Pyrex® glassware on the stovetop (open flame, electric burner), under the broiler, in a toaster oven, or on a barbecue grill. This type of usage exposes Pyrex® glassware to potentially damaging direct heat sources. If the glassware does break, take care to let it cool before cleaning it up. Keep in mind that shattered glass creates many small particles and pieces that may be difficult to find. A handheld vacuum cleaner can help make sure you don’t accidentally miss any shards. But there are understandable concerns about using Pyrex in the oven, especially with so much chatter online about the possibility of it shattering.
