Can you use pyrex on egg?

If I want to make an cheesy sausage dip....can I cook it with the indirect heat in a pyrex dish? Thanks!

Thank you!!!!! That opens the door to so much more! I need to start thinking that way and use the egg more!

Only if you want it to break.

Seriously, it depends on the temp. I would not put it on there at a temp over 400 or so. Think about what it gets inside your oven. They do fine in hot ovens and so I wouldn't put it on the egg at a temp that is hotter than what ovens get to.

I am thinking about the temp of the surface the pyrex sits on and not the surrounding air temp.

I one time made a raspberry sauce for a dessert in a pyrex thing on top of the stovetop. It was all going fine until the thing exploded. I had scalding raspberry sauce flung far and wide. (Luckily I had pink flowered wallpaper in that kitchen.)

Also, I think it depends on the age of the pyrex. I think they weaken after a while. I have a ton of pyrex and some of it is ancient. I recently had one crack. It was one of the older ones.

I would be very careful, I put a 13 inch pyrex dish on my egg once (can't remember what was in it), all was fine until I took it off the egg, as it was cooling it exploded (not with a sound so much so I didn't notice until I had liquid & fat running down my stove & cabinets), it was a messy disaster. My wife wasn't at all amused

I don't think indirect would be a problem at all as long as the pit temps aren't too high (which may cause the bottom to stick, but you might stir something like a dip once or twice).

I make my Big Green Eggplant Parmesan in a Pyrex dish either on the plate setter (legs down) or raised direct with a low fire.

Just be careful with heat. A while back I was out fishing with friends and we were fortunate enough to land a few tuna. Back at my house I baked them in a Pyrex dish and then opted to put it under the broiler to add a bit of "color". Result: When I removed the dish from the oven it broke in my hands and everything fell on the floor! Lesson is: use appropriate cookware. Happy fishin'!! 8 - )

I've done it couple of time on low temp cooks. Finally bought a heavy metal pan to take the worry out.

I was searching this question because I just had a pyrex dish explode on me. I was cooking ribs and used the pyrex as my drip pan. I put water in the pyrex to help control temp. As I walked outside to check on things I heard an explosion and saw a cloud of ash rise from the BGE.
