Step 1
Adjust your oven temperature down 25 degrees when you're using glass bakeware. The glass is a better retainer of heat and so a lower temperature is advisable.
-
Step 2
Bake without worry. The glass bakeware will not react to acidic mixtures like a normal metal pan would. Use your glass bakeware for any acidic recipes, such as those containing tomatoes or vinegar.
-
Step 3
Cut a baked cake right in the pan. The glass bakeware doesn't scratch like metal would so you can feel comfortable cutting right in the pan without worry of scratching.
-
Step 4
Watch out for breakage if you move the glass bakeware too rapidly from very cold to very hot. It's designed for changes in temperatures, but is still stressed by dramatic change. Watch out for times that you might make rapid changes in temperatures.
-
Step 5
Set the food on the table in the dish you baked it in. Serving directly from the oven to the table can be appealing. Glass bakeware is attractive enough for use on the dining table
-
Step 6
Cover and store your leftovers right in the bakeware. There isn't any reason to use another container when the glass bakeware is designed for all types of temperatures.

on 5/31/2008 Correction: I meant glass bakeware, not "glass bakeware set." I actually had a glass pie plate in mind.

on 5/31/2008 I wonder whether I can set glass bakeware set on the baking stone I keep in the oven. I understand about taking care with temperature changes. What's not clear is whether the glassware on the bakestone would get hotter than glassware on a wire rack. That is, would I need to lower oven temp even further to adjust for glass bakeware on a baking stone.
