Strikingly attractive, the four glass dishes in this set are colored in distinctive blue while retaining all of the attributes offered by Pyrex glassware. Safe in the oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher, Pyrex is a special glass that withstands the shock of going from hot to cold, or vice versa, without breaking. This set equips a kitchen for basic baking: cakes, breads, cobblers, and casseroles. The set consists of a 1-1/2-quart loaf dish, an 8-inch square baking dish, a 2-quart rectangular baking dish, and a 3-quart rectangular dish with a dark-blue plastic storage cover. Perfect for cooking and serving, the dishes are nonreactive (useful for acidic marinades) as well as stain- and odor-proof, and come with a two-year warranty against breakage from oven heat. --Fred Brack
