According to Pyrex it does. I'm not sure why this is; my best guess is that if the oven heats up unevenly while the Pyrex is in there (like maybe the rack gets extra hot first) the temperature differentials on the glass can stress it.

How do you safely remove plate stuck in pyrex bowl?

To safely remove a plate stuck in a Pyrex bowl, try running hot water over the base of the bowl to try to expand it slightly. Then, gently wiggle and twist the plate while pulling it out. Avoid using excessive force to prevent the Pyrex bowl from breaking.


If using an oxygen mask where should temperature be taken?

When using an oxygen mask, the temperature should be taken orally or through the ear. It is important to ensure accuracy in temperature measurement to monitor a patient's health status effectively.


Is Pyrex safe for using with metal mixer blades?

NO! The velocity of the mixer blades, combined with their hardness, is way too high to touch glass without breaking it... even Pyrex. You will be eating shards of glass, whether you can see them or not.


How do you decrease temperature?

You can decrease temperature by increasing air circulation, using fans or opening windows. You can also use shades to block out direct sunlight and reduce heat. In addition, using an air conditioner or placing ice packs or cold towels on your body can help lower your body temperature.


Is microwave ruined when using previous Pyrex garden chemicals were used?

If you were using garden chemicals in the microwave, it is probably ruined as the microwave contains many plastics that can retain and absorb chemicals. Don't trust your food with any herbicides or pesticides. On the other hand if the chemicals were only used in a Pyrex dish that has been in the microwave, there may be no problem at all. Pyrex like other glass objects does not retain or absorb chemicals and is easily washed (this is part of the reason it is used for chemical laboratory glassware).


How do you clean pyrex pan using house products?

Pyrex usually cleans up pretty well if you just let it soak then scrub normally (and repeat as needed). If there's material that you really can't get off and you don't have scouring pads (like SOS) you can use baking powder (like Arm & Hammer). It isn't unusual to have some discoloration around the edge on a well used pyrex :)

How is Pyrex glass unbreakable?

Direct exposure to firePutting it directly on an open flame. If you do it accidentally, let it cool thoroughly before using. I did it once, left it for 5 minutes, then poured room-temperature soup into it and it shattered. The same thing will happen if you put hot pyrex down in a wet (cool) sink. Also putting it directly onto a stove burner. My mother did this once by accident (forgetting the burner was hot) and it exploded, throwing glass shards all over the room. Very dangerous.Additional hazardsThere are a couple of other things you need to avoid. Shock will break Pyrex, just as it breaks any glass product. Glass is inherently brittle, and will not respond kindly to concentrated force. Lastly, if a Pyrex piece is scratched in the right way, it will break spontaneously. We often see older Pyrex wares with lots of little scratches in them. But a scratch presents what is called a stress riser in the glass. It is a place a break can "start" in that piece of Pyrex, and a scratch weakens the overall structure at that point. Dropping a heavy spoon into a scratched bowl might be all it takes to propagate a crack.


What should be the correct temperature of running water which is used for thawing?

It depends upon what you are using it for. I generally use room temperature water for cooking.


How can a researcher ensure that water is being used for an experiment that will vaporize at a point lower then normal temperature?

The researcher can lower the pressure inside the experimental setup to decrease the boiling point of water, allowing it to vaporize at a lower temperature. This can be achieved using a vacuum pump to create a vacuum environment. It's also important to monitor the temperature and pressure conditions during the experiment to ensure accurate results.
