Tins or Pyrex dishes?

[mo]

I have got rid of all my tin trays meat dishes and have now bought Pyrex ones. Far easier to clean.
Even the non stick never kept non sticking.

Which would you prefer?

I dont find splattered pyrex easier to clean Mo.
I use non stick pans... some nice quality ones I got from Sainsburys of all places.
When they loose their non stickability, I'll chuck them and buy some more.

I still use my really old roasting tin with blue lid, it must be 30yrs old and I can stick it on the top to make the gravy after taking the meat out. Looks a bit grotty, but who cares, not me

You'll still be needing tins for cakes, Mo, and don't forget Yorkshire Puddings.

Brian very often makes a crumble in a Pyrex dish and getting that clean is sometimes difficult, I have to say. All my Pyrex stuff I've had for quite some time, so perhaps that's the reason for it.

Yes, Pyrex is a poor heat conductor and impossible to clean, that's what I found.

As often happens, the ancient enamelled steel pans seem to work best for me, I have quite a few, some going back years. Rinsed out immediately after baking and left with some water, to soak, they are so easy to wash out.

Stainless-steel baking dishes look nice but are also difficult to clean, do you find that?

[mo]

Well I find the Pyrex dishes look so much cleaner. I took a tip from Carol once and any difficult stains, I soak them in a little washing powder and hot water and it almost peels away.

Yes I do have my bun tins and Yorkie pudding tins.

[caroljoyce]

Oh does it work on pyrex Mo?
I use that tip on stainless steel... They come up shiny as new.
(It has to be biological washing powder)

[Dragon Lady]

I must try that too! I have a roasting tin with a glass lid and it also is spattered with fat stains that I just cannot get off!

[mo]

It doedn't have to be bio Carol. It does work on Glass. I use one of those green pads to help clean it off and it doesn't take long at all. Water must of course be hot.
