1. Although it doesn't say so in the description -- this is a 9 x 13 baking dish. Well made and beautiful for serving. The fact that it's Corning Ware makes it even better.



2. I love this whole line. The White looks contemporary and matches everything. Perfect for entertaining any time of the year. Try one and you will end up getting the whole line!

1. The dishes are basically nice, but the labels on the products were terrible to get off and, in one of the dishes, left a faint print of the words that were on the label. It is fading in time, but it was a problem that was not easily solvable. I used "professional" removers and they had no effect on the label--what ended up working was sink cleaner and elbow grease. I like the dishes and use them at least once a week--perfect for very small portions and handy if there are only two people in the home.

1. I purchased the onyx stoneware to use in my solar cooker. It does an excellent job of heating up and retaining the heat. The handles are easy to grab, even when reaching at an angle to avoid looking at the reflected sun in my cooker. The size is perfect for lasagna and deep enough that food doesn't ooze over the edge even when tracking the sun angle.
   
   My order came quickly and they delivered to my PO Box. Great service.

1. This was advertised as being deeper than what it turned out to be. It's a regular 9X12 casserole of which I already have several. I need one that is deeper than 2 1/2 inches for my enchiladas. Shipping was free and it was well-wrapped and arrived quickly. It will make a nice gift. This is a versatile dish and can be used for so many things...casseroles, cakes, fudge, brownies, or a serving dish.



2. I have been using the same 2- and 3-quart Pyrex oblong dishes for over 35 years with no problems. But mostly I bake chicken and desserts in them at temps no higher than 350 deg. I agree with another reveiwer that perhaps the problems are with manufacturing. Is the company cutting costs and/or is their Quality dept. lax? I was going to buy a new set of Pyrex, but after reading the negative reiews will keep my weathered old set.



3. This dish, and other glass ones like it, are for baking (casseroles, brownies, lasagna, etc.) and Pyrex serves this purpose just fine. But it is not intended for roasting, 400+ degrees, or direct conduction of heat!
   
   Unlike steel, cast iron or (especially!) aluminum, glass is a thermal insulator. Therefore directly applying heat/cold (like burner flame) results in disparate temperatures across the material. Since heat is just molecular vibration, the temp. difference means the dish is vibrating "against" itself at different speeds.
   
   Many of the reviewers complaining about dish "explosions" have discovered this the hard way. Of the current 21 reviews, there are two cases of attempting to make gravy on a burner, one roasting beef at 475 degrees, one roasting Thanksgiving turkey, and one transferring pork roased at 425 to a "warm" burner. It should be very easy for anyone to destroy whatever glass dish with similar techniques... as I did, many years ago in my mother's kitchen! Surely legitimate flaws attributable to Pyrex do exist, but flaws revealed during unintended use are a different matter.



4. A family member had the same thing happen others mentioned last week, she took a Pyrex dish out of the oven, set it on top of the stove, and it exploded into tiny shards! (Update: She did not set it on a hot burner or wet stove.) It was so powerful, small pieces of glass flew all over, even into two adjoining rooms. Beware! I'M THROWING MINE OUT!!!
   
   For a replacement, I am looking for stoneware, because it was already fired in high heat, and some enamel coated ironware that goes from stovetop to oven for casseroles.



5. My Pyrex 8x8 inch square cake pan shattered just ten minutes after putting the (room-temperature) dish into a hot oven. It broke into large and small pieces, and hundreds of little glass shards as well. No more pyrex for us!
