Product Description
3 QT Pyrex Oblong Utility Dish, 13" x 9" x 2".
Amazon.com Review
Pyrex was the first to create a line of glass bakeware so cooks could actually see how their food was cooking. At the time, the idea was revolutionary; now--like all great innovations--we take it for granted. In fact, these days this standard-size baking dish from Pyrex (a company that's been making quality glass products for the better part of a century) costs about as much as a bowl of pasta at the Italian joint down the street. Not a bad deal, considering it transitions flawlessly from oven to microwave to freezer to dishwasher, and, if you're moderately careful, it will last you a lifetime. The 13-by-9-inch dish makes standard-size cakes or casseroles. --Meg Heffernan

 Dangerous Pyrex November 30, 2008
Michael Lombardo (St. louis, Missouri)
My wife and I recently had a 13x9 Pyrex dish explode in the oven. The fire department came because the remnants of the dish caught on fire when the oil in the pan dripped into the pilot light beneath the oven. A simple web search afterwards revealed literally hundreds (yes, hundreds) of complaints about exploding Pyrex dishes. Consumer Affairs has been reporting the danger for years. Don't buy Pyrex.
 Deep dish casserole wasn't DEEP April 7, 2008
Ruth A. Mayer (Portland, OR)
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.
 Could the problems be with newer Pyrex? June 9, 2007

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.
Fine for Baking, as Intended. April 4, 2007

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.
My Pyrex exploded too! December 16, 2006

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!
