How to avoid vegetables sticking on heat-resistant glass dish?
Sometimes I cook vegetables + fruits in a heat-resistant glass dish (yena/jena/pyrex, -40-300 Celsius degrees). I cut them into small pieces (carrots, potatoes, parsnip, mushrooms, onion, quince, apples, tomatoes, pepper, cauliflower, broccoli), I add some spices (salt, pepper, paprika) and some butter, and I put the dish (with the lid) into the gas oven for about 2 hours.
Everything is good, excepting the fact that some of the vegetables/fruits stick to the dish walls (not on the bottom side) and get burnt. Greasing the dish walls with butter didn't solve the problem.
Does anyone have a solution?
Best Answer
Butter has a fairly low smoke point, and may be burning in the oven. You could try using one of the "yellow oils" like canola (rapeseed), peanut, soybean or corn oil.
Aside from that, it's not completely unexpected for cooking vegetables to stick to the edge of a dish. It may just be normal behaviour. My apple pies will always stick slightly to the edges of the pie dish.

Season your pan. Seasoning a pan refers to the formation of a protective layer that can act as a buffer and prevent food from sticking. Seasoning a pan is dead simple. Rub your pan down with some canola or vegetable oil (you need a neutral, high-smoke-point oil) and throw it in a 425\xb0F oven for 30 or so minutes.What are the disadvantages of glass cookware?
The major disadvantage of glass cookware is that it breaks. This cookware cracks if the glass is too brittle or if there is a weakness in the glass, or if there are rapid changes in the temperature, and of course, like all glassware, it shatters if involved in any serious collision or impact.Does food stick to glass pans?
Being non-reactive means that glass doesn't interact with the food that comes in contact with it. When you bake in glass, it neither releases elements into the food nor absorbs anything from it.What is the highest temperature you can put Pyrex in the oven?
Pyrex cookware is meant to withstand baking, but it cannot be trusted for use over 425 degrees. This means that for recipes requiring higher temps you should use metal pans.Six ways to avoid food from sticking and burning to the bottom of your wok
