Microwave Metal?

[Beth Simon]

I think I know it as "the Pyrex" meaning the thing you named but made of
pyrex. There's an aluminum pie plate you can use and there's the pyrex.
You want the little bread pan or you want the pyrex?

For a mixed dish, though, it's Will you make that in the pyrex
casserole?

(Cheez, sounds like I live with Aunt Bee!)

I wouldn't consider Pyrex to count as a pan either, although the ones
that
are pan shaped with handles like pans present a problem for me. I think
of
Pyrex as dishes or bowls or casseroles, etc. I don't know where
to locate the Pyrex dish/Pyrex pan line ... maybe somewhere south of an
imaginary line drawn between New Haven and Seattle perhaps.  On the
other
hand, maybe the subconscious reason I never purchased the pan shaped
Pyrex
cookware was simply because I had no way to refer to it.
