General Use Guidelines:

• Oven Use: Pyrex glass bakeware is safe for use in preheated conventional and convection ovens. Always place hot bakeware on a dry potholder, wooden trivet, or cooling rack. Avoid placing hot bakeware directly on a cold or wet surface, as this can cause thermal shock and breakage.

• Freezer Use: The dishes are safe for freezing food. Allow frozen dishes to reach room temperature before placing them in a preheated oven.
• Temperature Changes: Avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes. Do not add cold liquids to a hot dish, or place a hot dish on a cold or wet surface.
• Broiler Use: Do not use Pyrex glass bakeware under a broiler or on a stovetop burner.
• Cleaning Before Use: Ensure the dish is clean and dry before each use to prevent food from sticking and to ensure even heating.

5. Care and Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Dishwasher Safe: Pyrex glass baking dishes are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top or bottom rack.
• Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residue, soak the dish in warm, soapy water before cleaning.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or sharp utensils that could scratch the glass surface.
