Is it oven ware?

Sounds like the oven will be ok with it.

Koko..it is cool that you will try different foods and take some chances.
I tried spring rolls after you posted your photos.. mine did not look even
close to as well done as yours and they were spRINGy.. Keep it up!

I've known its Pyrex but I haven't thought of it as oven ware.
I've only used it as a mixing bowl. It's 2 1/2 quart

Do you think it's oven proof? I googled and couldn't find anything.
Guess the pieces are too old.

this one I've used in the oven but it doesn't say ovenware on the
bottom. I just assumed from the shape that it's ovenware.
This is one quart.

If it says ovenware, it should be perfectly safe to put in the oven. But you
have to follow some rules or it can still shatter. That can happen when it
is suddenly cooled, like putting a hot bowl right out of the oven onto
something wet. There are other ways that aren't so obvious that you are
suddenly cooling it. There was a discussion of this recently in Cooks
Illustrated magazine. The example they gave of something that's not obvious
is having an empty bowl in the oven, and then pouring boiling water into it.
Even though the water is boiling, it is still much colder than the bowl. If
you can, find some instructions to make sure you don't do anything wrong.
You should be able to find them at www.pyrexware.com, but that site is not
responding at the moment.

If it doesn't say ovenware, I wouldn't put it in the oven, even if it looks
just like other items that do say ovenware. Ovenware is made out of a
special kind of glass that is not visually any different from normal glass.

I've got some ovenware bowls myself, made by Fire King. They're probably 50
years old and used to belong to my mother. I've never used them in the oven
though, but I'm sure my mother did.

Those are definitely good in the oven!
Those are from the early 1970's...pattern is called Crazy Daisy.
They came in green with white flowers and white with green flowers.
The bowl bigger than that one is white, the one just smaller than it
is also white. The smallest one in the set is green.

Anyway, yes, that bowl is oven proof.

So is the little light blue casserole dish with the farm motif on it.
That one's called Butterprint and that is from the late 1940's-early
50's. That was one of the most popular patterns Pyrex ever made.
Some of the back stamps, especially in the 40s, didn't necessarily say
ovenware. There were over 30 back stamps for Pyrex over the years,
and except for 3 of them, which were retired very early on (1920's?),
they were all used at any given time, so it's impossible to "date" a
piece of Pyrex by the backstamp (except for the first 3 backstamps).
The patterns are what collectors use to date the pieces. Actually
your Butterprint casserole was intended as a "store and bake" piece.
It came with a lid and they were designed to go from fridge to oven
with leftovers. There were also the "refrigerator sets" in that
pattern (and I have one in the Crazy Daisy pattern, too) which were
two mini loaf pans, a 7x6 inch baking pan, and 2 1.5 cup rectangular
"jars", all which came with lids and all were stackable, so you could
again, store your leftovers in them and put them right in the oven. Of
course, this was before microwave ovens, but they could go in the mw,
too. I have several sets of antique Pyrex from the 30's through the
80's, and I use them every day.

You have two highly collectible patterns (but they don't fetch all
that much on Ebay).

This whole thing started because I was getting a bowl out to make some
cole slaw to go along with the ribs I have marinating in a char shu
marinade and noticed this.

Should that dish at least say Pyrex on it? At one time Pyrex used to be
synonymous with being oven safe, maybe that's why it wouldn't explicity say
ovenware. Now Pyrex is more of a brand name than a type of glass.

Yes, that dish most probably does say Pyrex on it. The OP didn't say
it didn't say Pyrex, they said it didn't say anything about oven
safe. THat is DEFINITELY a trademarked Pyrex pattern. Of that I have
NO doubt.

Koko said:

I think anything labeled Pyrex (assuming it's real Pyrex, and
excluding any plastic lids)), is oven-safe.

Ok.. where are the howtwoz? They are not that easy to roll. Here are our
best ones...scrunched up and sagging on the ends. On some of them the
inert's were nice and loose. You know like a bag of something rather than a
roll of something. 😉

Those are summer rolls. Often, and incorrectly, called spring
rolls because they use the tapioca/rice starch wrappers, labelled
"Spring Roll Wrappers". Technically, spring rolls are always
fried, either using the thin egg roll wrappers or the
tapioca/rice papers.

"_Fresh_ Spring Rolls", or more correctly, "Summer Rolls"
wrappers use the later tapioca/rice wrappers and are not fried.

Egg rolls, OTOH, can use either the thin wheat-based wrappers or
the thicker ones that are like wonton wrappers.

As for the Fresh Spring Rolls/Summer rolls, I suck at those too.
You're on your own now that I've confused you with all this Asian
terminology. I don't care how you see these terms listed on the
menus. If you order "spring rolls" without "fresh" in the
description, then always ask if they're fresh or fried.

jay,
I'm not even going to show you how I make them, and they are a dish
I'm known for. Your's are so nice and neat.
I've always known them as summer rolls but I know they are called
spring rolls also.
