Is it safe to use a glass Pyrex mixing bowl over a pan of simmering water?
I have a cookie recipe that requires me to melt chocolate in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. I've seen people on cooking shows do this with glass bowls, which I have but am not sure if the people on the cooking show had a special type of glass bowl for that or if it was a regular glass mixing bowl. Would it be okay for me to just use my glass Pyrex mixing bowl? What else could I use other than a glass bowl? (I don't have a double boiler...)
Yes, Pyrex is made to withstand heat.
Just don't immerse into cold water whilst still hot.That's when the damage occurs
