A wonderful site http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/03/creamy-lemon-crum b-squares/ was posted recently when a cond. milk recipe was asked for. The lemon slice seems to bebaked in a pyrex dish-has anyone ever done this and did the bottom cook alright? I have only used a metal container. Also on front page of thread is a meat loaf. I used to make one with bacon "plaited "around but it dried ouit. The one shown had a tomato sauce over the top-never thought of that!!

I do my creamy potatoes in a pyrex baking dish and it cooks beautifully.

I was really meaning biscuits/cakes/slices but thanks for response.

I have cooked a cake in a pyrex mixing bowl and it didn't turn out as well as when baked in a metal bowl (I was making a Barbie cake so wanted the shape).

I would think it would be fine whether a cake or anything else.

I find that my pastry doesn't cook nearly as well in my pyrex pie dish as a metal one.It needs around 10mins longer so personally I think there is a difference

Marywea, some baking works well in Pyrex. I sometimes bake a loaf in it when I use a recipe which makes two as I have only one metal loaf tin and have baked slices in a Pyrex dish too. I find that pastry doesn't crisp up as well as when it is baked in a metal pan and I have never tried it for a cake so can't help you with that.

The base of the dish looks as if it is biscuit type crumb mixture which i think will be fine. If it has turned out in the recipe on your link, then it will work fine.

I have made slices in a large pyrex dish and they were fine.I fhaven' had problems with homemade short pastry baked blind in a pyrex flan dish either.

I don't have a problem baking in my pyrex dishes... but having seen the recipe, I suspect that great grandmother didn't bake in them (hard to keep glass in one piece on the wagon train)... and wonder if it was used so it could be photographed.
