Description

Marinex Glass Bakeware production began over 50 years ago by Santa Marina, the largest glass manufacturer in Latin America. Located in Brazil, Santa Marina has been producing different glass products since 1895. The factory location is close to raw material deposits of boron and sand which is rich in color and quality. During the production process, these raw materials are combined using heat to make borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is resistant to changes in temperatures used in cooking and baking. The raw materials also give Marinex glass bakeware a slight bluish tint consistant throughout all pieces. Marinex Glass Bakeware offers several shapes and sizes that have countless uses in culinary activities and are prominent by their beauty, durability, and ease of cleaning. It can be used to prepare, bake, and serve food as well as to freeze prepared food. It is safe for both conventional ovens and microwave ovens. Marinex Bakeware can go from the freezer/refrigerator to a pre-heated oven where the oven temperature does not exceed 100C or 212F to start. However, Marinex Bakeware should not be used on stovetop burners or over a direct flame. This is a large deep 5.5qt. rectangular baking dish and is 15-7/8" x 9-3/4" x 2-3/4" with grip styled handles at each end. All Marinex bakeware is dishwasher safe. Item #GD16538414.

Marinex uses Boro Plus, maybe not true borosilicate glass
Frenchy

Marinex 5-1/2-Quart Prediletta Deep Rectangular Baking DishI bought this Marinex labelled "Classica" deep "Lasanheira Rectangular Roaster" under the assumption that as opposed to Pyrex USA and Anchor, Marinex Brazil makes true borosilicate glass bake-ware (like they do for lab supplies) and not soda lime glass. Now that I can get to see this product up-close, the label clearly reads "Boro Plus Technology". Upon investigation, I found a troublesome news flash article from L.J. Star, Inc. dated Sept 07, 2007 titled: "Boro Plus" is Boron Zero.[...]In summary, Boro Plus glass would contain only up to 5% boric oxide (B2O3), while true borosilicate glass contains 11% boric oxide minimum, making this latter number a reference standard for labs. Boric oxide is the key ingredient that gives borosilicate glass superior performance to soda lime glass, in terms of temperature, thermal shock and chemical resistance.Besides, independent test lab would show that Boro Plus glass product contains no detectable boric oxide whatsoever (remember "up to 5%" meaning from 0 to 5%), making it indistinguishable from common soda lime glass.So, propaganda from competition or truth? 5% borosilicate enough for bakeware? Marinex as bad as Pyrex USA or as good as Pyrex EU? Is Pyrex USA even bad at all as far as soda lime material is concerned? By reading carefully the lab tests and reviews all over the net, including lengthy opinion exchanges from lab rats, I think it might be more of the factory's tempering process that lacks quality (therefore costing less for production line), not the fact that soda lime replaced borosilicate which happened a long time ago.Conclusion, I will keep this Marinex (and my other one, a loaf pan), made with probably more soda lime than borosilicate, but I won't order another, while baking with caution, and keeping on admiring my mom's 40 years old 9x13x2 Pyrex EU made in USA (yes, you're reading right, bought in Europe 40 years ago but tagged imported from the US if you can believe it), which she gave me when I started out.Until ... my next trip overseas, where I'll be checking on what's going on in old European engineering and production of good old Pyrex. Arc International says it uses borosilicate glass in its Pyrex glass kitchen products but doesn't say how much of it ... tbd and tbc.Lasagna test passed: slightly larger and higher than usual 9x13 = great. Chicken roasts and veggie roasts, souffles and gratins anywhere from 350F to 425F passed. Longevity: uncertain, but seems to hold up well.Note: Prediletta and Classica are 2 distinct sub-lines of main product line "Marinex forno". This product, "Assadeira retangular funda - Lasanheira", referenced as GD1.6538.41-4 (Item model number: GD16538414) is from Classica, not Prediletta. Amazon should change the title description of this product.Exterior dimensions and weight:ext 40.4 x 24.9 x 7 cm weight 1.92 kgext 15 7/8" x 9 3/4" x 2 3/4" weight 4.23 lbInterior dimensions and capacity:int 35 x 23 x 6.5 cm capacity 5.23 L (my Test: 4.67 L)int 13 6/8" x 9 1/16" x 2 1/2" capacity 5.53 qt (my Test: 4 15/16 qt)

Pefect deep dish at an excellent price!
C. Smith

I was looking for a deeper dish casserole and this was perfect. A HUGE dish for a very fair price. Handles on the side are added bonus. People like the light blue tint & simple design. I've received several compliments. The borosilicate glass seems thicker than my Pyrex & Anchor Hocking items, but lighter. I've used at 500 degrees F w/no problems. Marinex says oven safe to 572 degrees. I also bought the smaller 3qt dish & the two items nest perfectly inside each other. Love this! FYI: Current Pyrex is NOT made from borosilicate glass. Borosilicate used in laboratory glass (beakers, etc) because it can handle varying temperature extremes.

Skip the Pyrex, buy this instead

This is a great dish! I've used it a dozen times since ordering it and it's as pretty as it was the day I bought it. No staining at all. It has deep sides and is big enough for about anything, but isn't oversized by any means. There is also no safety hazard in this dish like new pyrex dishes (google exploding pyrex for some horror stories). This works flawlessly in a 500 degree oven and I've had no issues with it.
