Can you bake in a glass Pyrex mixing bowl?
Pyrex bakeware is transparent for easy monitoring of baking progress and provides good heat conduction.Pyrex glass can be found in the oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher.Pyrex glass will not absorb food odors, food flavors, or food stains.
If you mix the cake ingredients in a Pyrex bowl, it will stick to the inside of the bowl even if you put it in the oven.If you want to prevent it from sticking, spray the inside of the Pyrex bowl with baking spray.
If you are substituting a glass dish for a metal baking pan, you should reduce the baking temperature by 25 degrees and check the food often as it may be ready up to ten minutes earlier.Glass will become very hot once heated up, because it doesn't heat up as quickly as metal.
When a Pyrex bowl is heated or cooled quickly, different parts of the bowl contract or expand, causing stress.The bowl will fail if the stress is too high.
