Pyrex Advantage 9 x 13 Inch Rectangular Baking Dish with Cover

 (5 customer reviews)

To me, Pyrex is synonomous with heat-proof tempered glass cookware. That's not what this baking dish is. Instead this is a stamped metal pan with a non-stick coating. While it appears like a little heavier gauge metal than the bargain basement pans, it's not what I'd call heavy duty either. My micrometer says that the material thickness is 0.02505" inclusive of the coatings on both sides.

The pan itself, once you get past the material not being what you expected, is a nice design. All of the inside corners are (rounded) at >1/4" radius which should make it easier to clean than a pan with sharp corner bends. It also has a 1 1/4" flange around to the top edges that extends outward and upward at about a 20 degree angle from horizontal. The outside edge of the flange is finished in a full roll which should give it considerable extra strength and eliminate any sharp edges.

I bought two of these for my mother who makes us breakfast casseroles every Christmas. I thought I was ordering glass pyrex baking dishes with covers and had them shipped directly to her. I was surprised when she gave them to me full and they were metal. Nevertheless, after our brunch of baked on eggs, cheese, sausage, etc... I put them in the sink to soak for an hour or so. You seriously could have wiped them clean with a paper towel! One swipe with the sponge and the pan was clean! No scrubbing required at all. As the edges are rounded, there is no scouring tight corners. I am concerned that over time the non-stick coating may degrade, but hopefully with use of plastic utensils they will last for awhile. I may order a few for myself and toss all my old Baker's Secret pans! I wouldn't trust the handle on the plastic lid unless you are carrying something very lightweight.

This is the best no stick pan I have ever owned, and the great tight fitting cover makes it even better. The cover has a handle recessed in it and makes it so easy to transport without worry of the cover coming off. It even has lines inside to make even cutting very easy to achieve. I had to go to Amazon to find it after my neighbor saw mine and wanted one. I was surprised it was "pyrex" brand, as I associate pyrex with glass products which I also have.
