Product Information
Full details
This Pyrex Cook & Heat Round Dish is designed for home cooks who value versatility and convenience. Its primary benefit is the ability to seamlessly transition from cooking and baking to storing and reheating, all in one dish. A potential caveat is that while oven-safe, extreme temperature changes should still be managed carefully. The 1000ml capacity dish, made from durable borosilicate glass, offers microwave, oven, freezer compatibility, and features a patented steam-releasing lid for efficient reheating and an airtight seal for safe food storage. Its hygienic, stain-resistant, and odor-resistant properties make it a practical kitchen staple.

FAQs
Can I use this dish on the stovetop?
No, the Pyrex Cook & Heat dish is not designed for stovetop use. It is intended for oven, microwave, and freezer applications.
How do I use the steam release valve on the lid?
For oven use, the lid can be placed on the dish with the valve open or closed. For microwave reheating, ensure the valve is open to allow steam to escape and prevent splatters. For storage in the fridge, the valve should be closed to create an airtight seal.
Is the lid BPA-free?
Yes, the lid is BPA-free, ensuring safe food storage.
What is the temperature range for this dish?
The borosilicate glass dish is resistant to extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +300°C.
How should I clean the lid?
It is recommended to hand wash the lid to maintain its functionality, particularly the steam release valve and sealing mechanism. The glass dish itself is dishwasher safe.
Will the glass dish break if I put it in the freezer and then the oven?
The glass is designed to withstand extreme temperatures. However, avoid rapid temperature changes (thermal shock). Allow the dish to come closer to room temperature before transferring from freezer to a hot oven, or vice versa.
Does the 'Origine France Garantie' apply to the lid as well?
The 'Origine France Garantie' label specifically applies to Pyrex's pressed borosilicate glass ranges, indicating their origin of manufacture. The lid's manufacturing origin may differ.
Troubleshooting
Dish has developed a scratch
Minor scratches on Pyrex borosilicate glass are cosmetic and do not affect the structural integrity or safety of the dish. Continue to use as normal.
Lid is not sealing properly
Ensure the lid and the rim of the dish are clean and dry. Check that the locking clips are properly engaged and the valve is in the correct position for storage.
Food is reheating unevenly
Make sure the steam release valve on the lid is open during microwave reheating to allow for proper steam circulation. Stir food halfway through reheating if necessary.
Dish appears cloudy after washing
This may be due to hard water. Try washing by hand with a mild detergent or using a dishwasher rinse aid. For persistent cloudiness, a vinegar solution can sometimes help.
