Pyrex Glassware became the super hero of pies and casseroles alike, turning up the heat in kitchens everywhere. Pyrex made baking a delight since it could tolerate temperatures as high as 500°F without flaking a lid. Imagine creating a lasagna as spicy as the summer of 1969 and then storing it in the refrigerator—all in one dish!
