Has anyone actually Pyrex to bake this with this high heat. (450
degrees) It seems that the wet dough would crack the Pyrex.
I used a 2qt Crueset and it seems too small.
I found a site on the web that stated that the company that makes
Pyrex has changed the formulation. The old stuff was pretty safe when
you put cold into a hot Pyrex dish, but the new stuff is supposedly
dangerous and may shatter. I don't know any more about this, and I
don't use Pyrex for bread baking, but if you do, you should check it out.
I had a pyrex dish shatter from thermal shock once. It's \
definitely something to be aware of.
In this case though, cooking bread in it at 450 F won't
be a problem. They're designed for that temp and the
wet dough isn't a factor.
I've done it several times in a Visions 5L pot. No problems.
