Why is glass the best for baking? The answer is clear—you can see the exterior of your bread as it bakes. Glass is also easy to clean and food slides right out of it. This designed-in-Paris glass loaf dish is made from borosilicate tempered glass, which is an extremely resilient glass that resists shattering, thermal shock (it can go directly from freezer to oven) and scratches (you can cut directly into the glass without damaging it). It’s also a healthy and hygienic material, so there’s no worry of unwanted chemicals affecting your delicious food.
