Pyrex recently sent me their Classic Multipurpose Cooking Sheet to try. I've never used a glass baking tray before, so this was definitely a new one on me.
It has a smooth top surface and a patterned underside and looks gorgeous.
Made from the Pyrex standard tempered Borosilicate glass, the baking tray is also microwave and dishwasher safe and far stronger than standard glass. 32 x 26cm, the tray is ideal for baking tray bakes, pies, biscuits or cakes. It's also great for cooking pre-prepared foods such as samosas, spring rolls, sausages, oven chips or a multitude of other uses.
We all like sausage rolls, but I think often the ready-made meaty ones are really quite poor quality meat. It's incredibly easy to make your own using ready-made puff pastry such as Jus-Roll. You can buy sausagemeat or I sometimes buy nice sausage, remove the skin and use that to make good quality, flavoursome sausage rolls.
I decided to test my tray making sausage rolls for the veggies at my son's birthday party. I use Sosmix or an equivalent dry mix, with a little extra soy sauce as I wanted to give them a bit of bite.
Roll out your pastry and place a line of sausagemeat along one edge. Roll the pastry from that edge until it nearly touches the rest of the pastry and then cut with a 1cm overlap. Wet the overlap with water to 'stick' it down. Repeat and cut them to the length you wish. Brush them with a little egg, then bake at Gas Mark 6, 200C, 400F for around 20 minutes until they're golden-brown.
It's a lovely tray and my sausage rolls cooked really nicely and evenly. They hardly stuck at all, even though I didn't grease the sheet. I was pleased with how quickly the sheet cooled too,despite the weight of it.
Whatever I cook on it, the Pyrex Classic Multipurpose Cooking Sheet won't stain or taint foods, because it cleans completely, and it has a 10 year guarantee.
I really like that this cooking sheet is scratch-resistant, so I can use metal implements and don't need to worry about how I wash it. Like all Pyrex it's really easy to clean too, just leaving it for 2 minutes in water loosened all the flakes of pastry and they wiped straight off.
If I make a large tray bake or I want to prepare tea earlier in the ay then I can put the Cooking Sheet into the fridge, I can even freeze it if I want. It's a really handy piece of equipment, and far more attractive than a regular metal tray. Ideal for oven-to-table and when entertaining guests.
The Pyrex Classic Multipurpose Cooking Sheet costs around £12 and Pyrex products are available to buy at large supermarkets, Wilkinsons, Debenhams and a multitude of department and homeware stores, or online including Amazon.

I was sent my Pyrex Classic Multipurpose Cooking Sheet for review.
Yes, it is so convenient to transfer from fridge to oven and table!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is! Saves time and looks good :D
DeleteI must say that I have a few of their cooking-pans, and I like them!!
ReplyDeleteI can cook, fridge (even freeze!), and then reheat - and all with the same pan
They are super for that, it saves so much washing up!
DeleteI had no idea you could get glass baking sheets. They look great and I am always impressed with Pyrex for quality.
ReplyDeleteIt does look amazing, so much nicer. I'm always embarrassed when people are round and I bring out the old tinware!
DeleteI use tin baking sheets and they do get a bit battered over time, this looks like a great alternative, I might replace mine with some in the future.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be worth changing over I reckon, because as long as my teenagers don't smash it, this should last forever :D
DeleteI do think this is an investment. We seem to replace our metal sheets endlessly but this will last.
ReplyDeleteYep - fingers crossed! I haven't let the teenagers near it - they've broken 3 glasses this week already..
DeleteI've got a glass tray and it's so much better than the metal ones
ReplyDeleteI'd never had one before, I'm really impressed!
DeleteI ADORE Pyrex!! i have a collection and its still growing!! ;-) x
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the best things! It's definitely worth collecting - I hope to have a cupboard full when I'm older :)
Deletethis sheet looks fab and I might have to go and get one as I am always replacing metal ones that have rusted in the dishwasher.
ReplyDeleteReally? We haven't experienced that yet - but ours get a lot of use though :)
DeleteThis looks really useful x
ReplyDeleteIt is, a really handy piece of kitchen equipment :)
