Can You Use Pyrex in an Air Fryer?

4 Jun

If you’re wondering whether you can use Pyrex in your air fryer, the answer is yes.

Pyrex dishes that are labelled as oven-safe can be used in an air fryer just as they would in a conventional oven.

Because an air fryer is essentially a compact fan oven, most oven-safe cookware works perfectly well, provided it fits comfortably inside the drawer.

Is Pyrex safe in an air fryer?

Yes.

As long as your Pyrex dish is designed for oven use, it’s perfectly safe to use in an air fryer.

I use oven-safe dishes in my air fryer for all sorts of recipes, including:

The important thing is to make sure the dish isn’t too large, so there’s still room for the hot air to circulate.

It’s best to avoid sudden temperature changes.

For example, don’t take a Pyrex dish straight from the freezer and place it into a hot air fryer.

Allow it to come closer to room temperature first and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Not usually.

Glass can take a little longer to heat up than metal, so some recipes may need an extra minute or two.

Other than that, you can generally follow the recipe as normal.

Pyrex is brilliant for recipes like:

It’s a great option whenever you want to cook or serve food in the same dish.

You don’t need to buy special air fryer cookware just because you own an air fryer.

If you’ve already got an oven-safe Pyrex dish that fits comfortably inside the drawer, there’s a good chance it’ll work perfectly.

I always tell people to shop their kitchen cupboards before buying anything new!

Can Pyrex crack in an air fryer?
Oven-safe Pyrex is designed to cope with high temperatures, but like all glass cookware, it can be damaged by sudden temperature changes. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Can you reheat food in Pyrex?
Absolutely. It’s one of my favourite ways to reheat leftovers because you can cook and serve in the same dish.
Can you bake in Pyrex?
Yes. Pyrex works brilliantly for baked desserts, crumbles and pasta dishes.
Is Pyrex better than metal?
Both have their place. Metal heats up more quickly, while Pyrex is ideal for dishes that benefit from gentle, even cooking.

Yes, you can use oven-safe Pyrex in an air fryer.

The same rule applies here as it does with most cookware:

If it’s designed for use in a conventional oven, it’s generally safe to use in an air fryer too.

Just make sure it fits comfortably inside the drawer and leave enough room for the hot air to circulate.
