Freezer Use:

• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the freezer to prevent thermal shock.

4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the clarity of your Pyrex glass bowls.

Cleaning:

• The bowls are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top or bottom rack.
• For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the glass surface.

Storage:

• Stack bowls carefully to prevent chipping or scratching.
• If stacking without lids, consider placing a cloth or paper towel between bowls for protection.

5. Troubleshooting and Safety Guidelines

While Pyrex glass is durable, proper handling is essential to ensure safety and longevity.

General Safety:

• Avoid sudden temperature changes. Do not place hot glass directly on a cold surface or add cold liquids to a hot bowl.
• Do not use on a stovetop, under a broiler, or in a toaster oven.
• Inspect bowls for chips, cracks, or deep scratches before each use. Damaged glass can break unexpectedly.
• Handle hot bowls with oven mitts or pot holders.

Common Issues:

• Stains: For stubborn food stains, try soaking the bowl in warm, soapy water or a solution of baking soda and water before washing.
• Cloudiness: Hard water deposits can sometimes cause cloudiness. This can often be removed by soaking in white vinegar or a commercial glass cleaner.
