I found a good pot roast recipe in the recipe section but I don't have a roasting pan. I just have clear glass pyrex baking dishes. Can i use that instead?
Sure. The Pyrex baking dish will work fine for baking in the oven.
Gram had one roasting pan and one pyrex baking dish for the oven. She used that pyrex for everything and then she passed it down to me and I have been using it for the last 22 years! Brings back many wonderful memories.
You can use Pyrex for just about anything. That's why I love it - so versatile. Oven, microwave, whatever.
My favorite way to cook a pot roast is to take a nylon oven bag, toss in a chuck roast, and add peeled sliced potatoes (chunks), carrot pieces, and a few medium onions. Pour in a can of low or no sodium beef broth, and cook at 325 for 3 1/2 hours. I simply love the way the beef flavor passes to the potatoes, carrots, and onions. You can flavor this with garlic and ground pepper too. A salad on the side makes a full meal. This would cook well in the Pyrex pan, and the bag keeps the mess away from the glass so cleanup is easy.
