Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Red Hart Inn in York, North Yorkshire, was struggling with metal baking tins that would warp under high heat and were a nightmare to scrub clean after service. They needed a more robust and presentable solution for their popular Sunday carvery and weekly pie specials.
"Switching to the Pyrex ceramic dishes was a brilliant move. They cook so evenly, and they look smart enough to take straight to the serving station. Our pot wash team is definitely happier, and the dishes still look brand new after months of heavy use."
David Chen – Head Chef
The result was a noticeable improvement in food presentation and a reduction in kitchen stress, with staff saving over an hour a week on deep cleaning old, burnt-on tins.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting It Ready
- Give the dish a good wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Always ensure the dish is dry before adding cooking oils or fats.
- Avoid placing a hot dish on a very cold or wet surface; use a trivet or heat-proof mat.
- Check for any damage that may have occurred in transit before you begin cooking.
Keeping It Going
- To avoid scratching the glaze, use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils.
- For tough, baked-on food, soak the dish in warm, soapy water rather than using harsh scourers.
- Although dishwasher safe, hand washing will help maintain its original finish for even longer.
- Store carefully, avoiding stacking heavy metal items on top that could cause chips.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this roasting dish on a direct heat source like a gas or electric hob?
A: No, this ceramic dish is designed for oven and microwave use only. Placing it on a direct hob can cause it to crack from the intense, concentrated heat.
Q: Is the Pyrex ceramic bakeware completely stain-proof?
A: The high-quality glaze is highly resistant to staining and odours. However, very strong-coloured foods like beetroot or turmeric may leave slight marks over time if not cleaned promptly.
Q: What is the maximum oven temperature this dish can handle?
A: This dish is safe for use in ovens up to 270°C (518°F), making it suitable for almost all roasting and baking tasks.
Q: Can I use metal utensils in this dish?
A: It's best to use wooden, plastic, or silicone utensils. Metal utensils can scratch or mark the ceramic glaze over time, affecting its non-stick properties and appearance.
Q: Is this dish heavy?
A: It weighs 1.4kg. It has a reassuring heft that speaks to its quality, but it's not unmanageably heavy, and the ergonomic handles help with lifting.
Q: Can I put the dish straight from the freezer into a hot oven?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's designed with high thermal shock resistance, which is one of its key features for a professional kitchen environment.
Q: Does the beige colour affect cooking performance?
A: No, the light colour doesn't affect performance but can help you easily monitor the browning of your food. It provides a neutral, appealing backdrop for serving.
Q: Is the ceramic material free from PFOA and PTFE?
A: Yes, this is a pure ceramic dish and does not contain any of the chemical non-stick coatings like PFOA or PTFE.

When you choose a Pyrex professional roasting dish, you're investing in more than a century of trust and innovation.

This reliability frees up your team to focus on creativity and service, not on worrying about their tools. The Pyrex ceramic bakeware isn’t just built to cook; it’s built to last, perform, and instil confidence in the heart of your kitchen.
