My Grandma gave me an old 2 qt Pyrex mixing bowl and I'm wondering if it is oven proof? I know most of the new ones are, but I don't want to risk ruining it.

Most Pyrex is good in the oven, and there should be something imprinted on the bottom of the bowl to that effect (like "safe up to 400 degrees oven safe microwave safe not for stove-top etc). You're also good in the microwave, since microwave ovens can't heat anything past the boiling point of water. If you see any noticeable cracks or chips, you may not want to use it though, as heat can make them worse.
Some Pyrex has been known to crack or shatter when you take it out of the oven because of thermal shock. ...(Answered by James) |
