What makes pyrex oven-proof?
« on: August 06, 2009, 06:43:10 PM »
Q. What makes pyrex oven-proof?

A. Its composition. Consiting of materials like Si02 which has very good thermal properties, gives the glass a high thermal resistance.

Is this good enough, could someone elaborate?

borosilicate glass. It doesn't expand much so it is less likely to crack.
