How to Use a Pyrex Deep 4-Piece Baking Dish Set with Sage Lids

Quick answer

Use the Pyrex Deep 4-Piece Baking Dish Set with Sage Lids for oven-to-fridge cooking and storage. The deeper dishes hold more food, and the plastic lids seal leftovers for easy transport.

How to use your Pyrex Deep Baking Dish Set

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven and prepare the dish: Place the glass baking dish in a cold oven and preheat together, or let it warm gradually on the counter. Never add cold liquid to a hot dish—it can cause thermal shock and breakage. Always let the dish come to room temperature before adding cold ingredients.
2. Step 2: Fill and bake with the extra depth in mind: Because the dishes are deeper, you can add more filling than a standard dish. Leave at least 1 inch of headspace for bubbling liquids like sauces or casseroles. Use the 9x13 dish for large roasts or lasagnas, and the 8-inch square for smaller sides or desserts. Don't overfill—even deep dishes need room for food to expand during cooking.
3. Step 3: Cool before covering with the sage lid: After baking, let the dish cool on a wire rack until it's warm but not hot (about 20-30 minutes). Then snap on the plastic lid. Placing the lid on a hot dish can warp the plastic and create a poor seal. Wait until the dish is warm to the touch before applying the lid.
4. Step 4: Store in the refrigerator or freezer: The lids are designed for fridge and freezer use. Stack dishes carefully to avoid cracking the glass. For freezer storage, leave extra headspace for food expansion. Label the lid with a marker or sticker. Glass expands when frozen; leave at least 1/2 inch of space at the top.
5. Step 5: Reheat safely: Remove the plastic lid before reheating in the oven or microwave. The glass dish is oven-safe up to 425°F (218°C), but avoid sudden temperature changes. Place the dish in a cold oven and heat gradually, or use the microwave on medium power. Never put a cold dish straight into a hot oven—let it warm up first.
6. Step 6: Clean with care: Wash the glass dishes by hand with warm soapy water or place them on the top rack of the dishwasher. The plastic lids are top-rack dishwasher safe but may discolor over time. Avoid abrasive scrubbers on the glass to keep it clear. Hand-washing the lids extends their life and keeps the seal tight.
