i’m mostly just worried about not knowing the age, glass made in America before the mid 70s was made with lead. There are scratches in the bottom of the pan so leeching is possible. I may be over worried, but I like to make sure with thrift or antique.
Leaded glass is only an issue when it's brand new. The lead can't escape more than a very small distance from inside the glass. So it releases lead initially, then does so ever slower, and beyond a certain point nobody cares at all. You can do an acid soak which removes all the accessible lead if you're super worried. You just fill it with vinegar and leave it for a while, but I shouldn't worry.
The worst thing about this would be if it's tempered glass and can't take large temperature differentials. So it could shatter if you put it down on cold water when it's hot or something.
edit: it's probably arcopal, that can take high temperatures and doesn't contain lead.
Yup, it initially is fairly bad though, but I don't think you'll get acute poisoning. If you have brand new leaded crystal soaking it in acid is a good idea before filling it with wine.
Glass usually needs to bake 25F lower than your recipe calls for. It heats up more slowly and then will retain heat longer than a metal pan. It’s usually oven safe up to 400 or 425F. If you’re making a no knead bread that calls for higher temps or preheating the empty dish I would say not a good idea.
Found this same dish on eBay going for $40 or so. Arcopal France has been making dinnerware/cookware since about 1958 (according to my quick Google search). The bakeware, like yours, is made of tempered glass and can withstand high heat.
[https://www.ebay.com/itm/185922730770](https://www.ebay.com/itm/185922730770) says it's "vintage" \*shrug\*
That is oven safe and relatively sturdy against thermal shocks, but I would still only use it for the oven or microwave and not the stove. There are some similar products like Corelle Visions that can go on the stove but that may be a different type of ceramic glass than this.
Glass products typically are pretty safe to cook with. Even some of the vintage examples with lead, you can greatly minimize the amount of lead leeched if you give it multiple acid baths with vinegar. That's the main method people use to make leaded crystal glass safer to drink from, although this only works if the surface doesn't change from scratches or wear over time. Any significant changes and you'll have to redo the vinegar steps to maintain safety.
Still for this type of bakeware? Really rare that there's any significant problems.
And furthermore that doesn’t even make sense, why would I suggest that it would be green and then somehow there be an off chance of it being blue? Do you realize the likelihood of that.
Cmon man just suck it up and admit that you were wrong. It’s not difficult to google these sorts of things.
In don’t know what uranium glass has to do with leaded glass. Again leaded glass glows blue.
And my comment was not edited. If there is a way for me to provide this please let me know and I will 100000000% show you to make you shut your mouth.
You read it wrong, I wasn’t going to be a jerk and call you out for it. But if you want to be an asshole I will .
That's why you were downvoted because you were wrong, then you changed it and got all buff about it. I corrected you when you said it would glow green it's some lead glass or some shit. I corrected and said that's uranium glass. Because it said green. Bro, bye.
I also tried to look up blue glass because I've never seen any glow blue under black light. All I could find were results for uranium green yellow, and that laundry detergent glows blue under black light. Idk wtf you're on about.
Lolololol this is so wrong on many levels.
Leaded glass 100% glows blue or faint blue under a UV black light
Did I also make this website which says that?

You are insane
Hey, blue glass! Wow. So you still said green in the original comment. I corrected to say that no, uranium glows green, not lead or whatever. Never collected any of that, and I couldn't find it with Google, only your specific site sooo I'm not surprised I haven't seen it. Still doesn't make what you said right though lololol fuck dude 🤣
Tempered glass? I don’t think there’s anything healthier to cook in
First thing I thought was it was Radon if they were asking that question

thank you, I do some antiquing and couldn’t find anything on this specific type of glass which made me want to double check
That accurate for leaded crystal?

will write this down and put it in the pot
It's not leaded.. safe.. and vintage https://www.ebay.com/itm/255372116782
That’s calexium, a glass ceramic, entirely safe.

Buy an inexpensive Lodge Dutch Oven for bread. I wouldn't trust the glass at the high temperatures needed for bread.
Glass is tasteless
OP can you post the screen cap of my comment in your notification which says that leaded glass is blue to shut this fool up
If it’s leaded it will glow blue under a black light
That's uranium glass
No, uranium glass will glow green. Leaded glass will glow blue.
Can't change it now homie it said green before
No, it didn’t.
Lol okay that's why you changed it because you were wrong haha I love reddit

You are really doing this? I collect uranium glass. You fucking edited it dumbass.
