Amazon.com Review
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

Warning!!
I have owned two pieces of Pyrex Cobalt blue cooking dishes and both have exploded in the oven. I bought one piece two years ago and it exploded after a month while making Baked Ziti. I bought another piece this year from a different store and it exploded the first time I used it in the oven.

I studied to be a chef, use them under normal conditions and have never seen anything like this before

The sides of the dish blew out, there were shards of glass on top of the food, the bottom broke into fifty or more pieces. If I had opened the oven as it exploded chances are I would have been injured.

I haven't had this problem with any other pyrex dishes, just the blue dishes. Bottom line is two dishes, to dinners ruined, its not worth it to me to buy another.

Unworthy of the Pyrex name!
I have been using Pyrex products for years and have always found them to be incredibly durable, sturdy and versatile.

I owned the rectangular casserole dish in cobalt for less than a month before it BROKE in the oven. I have the same product in clear, which I have owned for 7 years (as well as older versions of the same product that I inherited from my grandmother), and although I can not be certain that it is specifically the fact that this version is tinted cobalt that caused this problem, I can't ignore the fact that I haven't ever experienced this problem before with the clear ones AND the fact that apparently other reviewers have experienced the same thing.

If you purchase this product, just be careful. Hopefully you'll have more luck than I did!

Me Too!
My cobalt pyrex baking dish, too, exploded in the oven, today while cooking a normal dinner. Do not use cobalt pyrex dishes. I have never heard of a clear dish doing this but see that many reviewers have had this happen with the cobalt.
