The $21 Pyrex Gem I’m Using for All My Holiday Baking (More than 6,000 Were Bought Last Month!)
When I think of Pyrex, the first adjective that comes to mind is “long-lasting,” which is quickly followed by “useful” and “pretty.” For over a century, the brand has been putting out glass food storage and bakeware that’s so stylish and durable that many of its pieces have become collector’s items. The vintage Pyrex-buying phenomenon took off a few years back; shoppers scour thrift stores and secondhand websites for rare patterns and pieces that came out decades ago (and still look and perform as good as they did then).
Pyrex’s current lineup is worth checking out too, however. The quality is still there — which I can confirm, as I own one of its Simply Store sets — and you can just order it from Amazon without dealing with resellers. I just found a stunningly versatile baking dish from the brand that other shoppers can’t get enough of. In fact, over 6,000 people have purchased it in the last month alone. It makes sense: They’re saying that it’s the “perfect size,” and it’ll definitely come in handy during the holiday season. Allow me to give you the full rundown on why it’s worth grabbing while it’s discounted for Black Friday.

What Is Pyrex’s Deep 9×13-Inch Glass Baking Dish with Lid?
It’s baking season, and with how many casseroles and desserts you’ll likely be making, you need a dish that’ll make your life easier. It measures 9×13 inches and claims to be 50% deeper than regular casserole dishes. This gem will allow you to fit more layers in, and its taller sides will prevent spillage. The side handles and secure-fitting lid makes it ideal for transport, which will come in handy more than once throughout the holiday season.
The glass, like other items from the brand, will hold up through it all: the freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and oven (the same can be said for the BPA-free plastic lid, with the exception of the oven). All the while, the glass resists stains and odors — so once you wash it, it’ll be as good as new. Plus, the see-through body means you can keep an eye on your food while it’s cooking and always know what leftovers you have on hand.
What Amazon Shoppers Are Saying
Average Rating: 4.5/5
“Ordered this dish to make lasagna, and it was perfect. I like that it is deeper than my other casserole dishes so that the food didn’t spill over. Would buy again.” –Dogmom
“I love that they have lids. They all fit nicely for travel or for fridge storage. I’m also absolutely loving how deep these are. You can fit so much more into the pan so they’re perfect for those meals that require baking in a deeper dish. Highly recommend, as they are just a really nice set to have on hand in your kitchen!” –RF
“Best Pyrex ever — super deep so no matter what you cook the lid doesn’t stick to food/icing. The square size is perfect for cornbread or brownies, the middle size is perfect for storing homemade biscuits, and the large is perfect for cake or large casseroles.” —SueEllen Moss
If you want to upgrade your entire bakeware collection to these extra-deep dishes, you can snag the three-piece set, which is also on sale. Once you see the difference the single dish makes, I have no doubt that you’ll feel the need to grab more — especially over the course of the next few months. If you have Prime delivery it can arrive before Thanksgiving if you order it right now, so don’t wait!
