Probably a dumb question. but I want to make individual servings of peach cobbler.So instead of putting it in a cake tin or casserole dish, I want to cook it in single servings.Will glasses stand the heat! my recipe uses 165 degrees C.Otherwise I could transfer it but it would get messy and not look as good. thanks.

hmm I would doubt it, they are made for cold or cool drinks.

I wouldn't risk it. Have you got small tinfoil dishes or similiar you can use!

I'd be tempted to go buy some ramekins, rather than risk it, but that's typical me.
I know I do use a glass of water when heating up my wheat bag, but that's only a couple of minutes in the microwave.
Others might have tried & be able to give you a better answer, but my thought was a cringe.

Hmmm so a resounding no then!How about jam jars!I've seen pictures of muffins/cupcakes cooked in jars. maybe the glass is sturdier!Otherwise will just cook it in bulk and attempt to put it in the glasses without turning it into a sloppy mess :-)I reckon if I throw a nice big dollop of whipped cream on top my guests won't fuss.

Ceramic ovenware ramekins would be very elegant for a Cobbler.Does it really have to be glass!

:-)I just like how things look when you can see through the sides - like trifle in a glass bowl etc.I like seeing the layers etc.No worries.

Buy some pyrex individual dishes then if you like the glass!

No. You would be better to put them into individual ramekins or pudding cups. If you bake cobbler in a drinking glass, it will explode.

Dont do -remember that brown glass coffee cups. Ive seen many exploding glasses.

Ok thanks all - I like the shape of the glasses I have better than ramekins etc which is also why I asked - but will make do with an alternative.Happy to be avoiding exploding glasses and wasted time though :-)

Good choice :)
I also think that aesthetically, a Fruit Cobbler looks better not in glass.It is a cottage-y comfort food dessert, not a tiddly trifle-y thing.

I know you were wanting see-through, but coffee mugs are great for individual dishes. I used to make Weight Watchers self-saucing puddings in a large mug - made the mistake of making it in a normal sized pudding dish once and couldnt find it in the bottom once it was cooked!

You could cook it and then transfer it to the warmed glass in layers! You'd just have to get creative and non-traditional about how to do it. We have glass serving tube/tumbler type things at school, they're called verrines, but there's no way I'd put them in the oven. Maybe look up verrines on the interweb.

Yup bill241 think I'm gonna go with cooking and transferring.Cos even though it's a comfort-type dessert I still like being able to see it through the glass. also gonna top it with a scoop of icecream so that's another 'layer'.My guest won't mind being experimented on :-)Must keep a lookout for small mason-type jars though, I would like to try the cook-in-a-jar thing.
