Glass Baking Dish

CLEAN & SAFE

Oven baking for casseroles, lasagna, and desserts

Materials

  • Tempered glass
  • Sometimes borosilicate glass

Common claims

  • Non-reactive
  • Dishwasher safe

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Can shatter with extreme thermal shock (e.g., freezer to hot oven)

Notes

A great inert surface for baking and roasting at moderate temperatures; avoid broiler-level heat.

Cleaner alternatives

HexClad Hybrid Wok

USE WITH CAUTION

Stir frying and high-heat wok cooking

Materials

  • Stainless steel hex pattern
  • PTFE non-stick coating
  • Aluminum core

Common claims

  • Hybrid non-stick
  • Metal-utensil safe
  • PFOA-free

Concerns / watch-outs

  • Same PTFE chemistry as the standard HexClad pan, but in a wok shape used at even higher temperatures
  • Premium price for a product that still raises the same fluoropolymer questions as cheaper non-stick woks

Notes

The HexClad wok suffers the same concern as non-stick woks generally — high wok heat accelerates PTFE degradation. Carbon steel is the appropriate coating-free alternative.
