Argon Tableware Optical Rectangular Glass Cake Dish - 17cm x 12.5cm

No, this glass oven dish is not designed for direct stovetop heat. Using it on a burner can cause it to shatter.

The dish is made from borosilicate glass, which is highly resistant to thermal shock and extreme temperatures typically encountered in ovens. However, specific maximum temperature limits are best confirmed with the manufacturer's guidelines, but it is generally safe for standard baking and roasting temperatures.

Yes, the fluted rectangular design is ideal for cakes, as well as trifles, gratins, and other baked goods. Ensure proper greasing for best results.

For stubborn residue, soak the dish in warm, soapy water for a few hours or overnight. You can then gently scrape away the food with a non-abrasive utensil or sponge.

While the borosilicate glass has excellent thermal shock resistance, it's best practice to allow the dish to warm slightly before placing it into a very hot oven to prevent extreme temperature differentials.

BPA-free means the material does not contain Bisphenol A, a chemical that can potentially leach into food from some plastics. Using BPA-free materials ensures your food is kept safe from such contaminants.

While the glass is scratch-resistant, it is recommended to use silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to prolong the pristine appearance of the dish and minimize the risk of scratches over time.

If the chip or crack is significant or compromises the structural integrity of the dish, it is not safe for use and should be replaced. Small, superficial chips on the rim may not prevent use but should be monitored.

Ensure the dish is adequately greased or lined with parchment paper before baking. For baked-on food, soak the dish in warm, soapy water before cleaning.

This can sometimes be caused by hard water deposits. Try washing with a vinegar solution or using a dishwasher cleaner specifically designed for hard water stains.
