Made in USA
Glassware & Dinnerware
American tempered-glass bakeware from one of the country’s last great glass furnaces.
Since 1905, Anchor Hocking has made glass in Lancaster, Ohio — home to one of the last major consumer-glass furnaces still running in America. If you want oven-to-table bakeware that will outlast your recipe box, this two-pack of 9-inch tempered-glass pie plates is the everyday American standard, and it costs about what a single imported dish would.
Dependable, oven-safe American bakeware at a value price. Made in Ohio from tempered glass that handles the oven, freezer, and dishwasher, and sold as a two-pack so you always have a spare. It is plain, workaday glass — no formal warranty — but for pies, casseroles, and everyday baking, it is exactly what you want and genuinely made here.

- Tempered glass is oven-, freezer-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe
- Two-pack value — for a pair of 9-inch plates
- Clear glass lets you watch crusts and casseroles brown

In Use
In the oven
Tempered glass heats evenly and browns crusts nicely, and the clear sides let you check the bottom of a pie without lifting it. It moves from freezer to oven and into the dishwasher without drama, which is why glass bakeware endures in American kitchens.
Everyday value
Buying a two-pack means one is always clean and ready, and the low price makes it painless to replace if one ever breaks — while still buying American. For the money, it is hard to do better.

What owners actually say
The 9-inch pie plate carries a 4.7 from 1,666 ratings at Walmart — but look at the tail. Five percent of those are one-star, unusually visible for a five-dollar pie plate, and that is where the shattering reports live. Owners describe plates bursting ten minutes into a bake, one exploding three minutes into a preheated oven, and one that let go on the counter half an hour after coming out. Several insist there was no cold surface, no sudden swing, no prior chip. The other recurring complaint is depth: owners say the standard plate is too shallow for a double-crust apple pie and the filling boils over.
The glass explains most of it. Anchor Hocking bakeware, like modern US Pyrex, is tempered soda-lime, not borosilicate, and Consumer Reports tested both brands in the same investigation with the same result. Most shattering reports are consistent with thermal shock and are a limit of the material, not a fault in the individual dish: never set a hot dish on a wet or cold counter, never take it from freezer to oven, never use it under a broiler or on a burner, and retire any piece with a chip. The handful of reports that do not fit that pattern — a dish failing on the counter long after it cooled — point to residual stress in that particular piece, and those are genuine defects. What owners praise is real too: it browns a bottom crust better than metal, because you can watch it happen.
Should You Buy It?
Yes.
Ohio-made tempered glass that has outlasted a century of kitchen fashions, at a price that makes it an easy yes. If you bake, buy it. There is very little to say against it.
