As I remember, a number of folks here hated glass bakeware. I'm not
one of them. But I can't remember why it was that people held a dim
view of
glass. Anyone?


I recall that you had to use a slightly lower temp with glass. Could
that be it?




Because It can break in the oven or out of the oven, making a hot mess to
clean up. A change in temp can cause the glass/pyrex to crack or shatter.

Corningware style bakeware looks nicer (when used for serving) and breaks
less often.

That French Arco??? glass ovenware might be ok and it sure looks purdy, But
I haven't had much exposure to it so I can't say oneway or the other.

But I avoid pyrex due to several cracked dish clean ups I've had to make.

Fun to start re-cooking a casserole too, because the dish broke. And guests
are 15 minutes away.
