OXO Good Grips Glass Pie Plate with Lid Review: The Last Pie Dish You'll Buy

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Borosilicate glass resists thermal shock — freezer to oven without cracking
  • Snap-lock lid seals tight enough to prevent leaks during transport
  • Wide, textured rim provides a secure grip even with oven mitts on
  • Permanent dimension marking won't fade with repeated washing
  • Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup after heavy-use baking sessions

Cons

  • Heavier than ceramic or metal pie plates — roughly 3 lbs empty
  • Priced above basic aluminum and ceramic alternatives
  • Lid gasket requires disassembly for thorough drying to prevent odor buildup

Every home cook has a drawer full of pie plates that crack, stain, or leave you hunting for plastic wrap when it's time to store the leftovers. The OXO Good Grips Glass Pie Plate with Lid was designed to eliminate all three. After testing it through a full Thanksgiving pie cycle, a weeknight quiche, and a weekend berry crumble, here's what we found.

Quick verdict

The OXO Good Grips Glass Pie Plate with Lid is the most versatile pie dish in its price range. The borosilicate glass handles thermal stress without cracking, the snap-lock lid seals tight enough to travel, and the oversized rim makes it genuinely easy to handle — even with oven mitts on. The only trade-off is weight: at roughly 3 pounds empty, it's heavier than thin ceramic. For serious bakers, that's a feature, not a bug.

Who is this for?

If you bake more than twice a year, you need a dish that survives the freezer-to-oven jump without drama. If you've ever poured hot pumpkin filling into a cold glass dish and heard it crack, this is the plate that won't do that. It's also the right pick for anyone who carries desserts to gatherings — the lid snaps on clean, nothing leaks in a bag, and you get your dish back instead of surrendering it.

Key features

Borosilicate glass construction

This isn't standard soda-lime glass. Borosilicate — the same material used in lab glassware and Pyrex — tolerates thermal shock far better than ceramic or tempered glass. You can pull it from the freezer and put it directly into a 450°F oven without the crack risk that ruins Thanksgiving. That alone justifies choosing it over most ceramic pie plates on the market.

Leak-proof snap-lock lid

The lid is a silicone gasket seated into a BPA-free plastic frame. It snaps into place around the entire rim with enough resistance that a full liquid filling — think a high-moisture lemon curd pie — doesn't leak when you pick it up. This is the feature that makes it a kitchen tool rather than just a baking dish.

Generous rim with Sure Grip

OXO's Good Grips line is built around handle comfort, and the rim on this plate shows it. The edge is wide enough to hook your thumb under without pinching, and the slightly textured surface holds even when your hands are flour-dusted or greasy from crimping edges. It's a small thing that makes a big difference when you're transferring a full crust from counter to oven.

Easy-read 9-inch dimension mark

Baked into the glass base, the diameter marking is permanent — it won't fade like printed-on indicators on ceramic dishes. It also serves as a visual alignment guide when you're placing a lattice or decorative crust.

Freezer, microwave, dishwasher safe

Every pie plate does microwave duty. The OXO goes further: you can freeze leftover slices directly in the dish, reheat them in the microwave with the lid loosely on (to prevent splatter), and toss the whole thing in the dishwasher. No hand-washing required, no special care.

Real-world performance

Over eight weeks, this plate handled a double-crust apple pie, two quiches, a chocolate cream pie, and a peach crumble. The glass base distributed heat evenly — no hot spots that burned edges before the center set. The deep dish depth (about 2 inches) accommodated a generous double-crust without overflow. Crimping and transferring a full pie never felt precarious, which is the real test of a pie dish's design.

The lid's seal held under pressure. A quiche with a loose egg filling traveled 20 minutes in a cooler bag and arrived without a single drop on the lid. That level of reliability means you're more likely to actually use it for storage instead of reaching for the plastic wrap out of habit.

Cleaning was straightforward. Caramelized sugar on the rim came off with a sponge and dish soap — no soaking required. The gasket releases from the lid for thorough drying, which prevents the musty smell that plagues sealed containers stored long-term.

Pros and cons

See the structured pros and cons in the product panel. The short version: it's heavier than ceramic, and at retail it's priced above basic metal pie plates — but it outlasts both and does things neither can.

Verdict & price check

At around $25–30, the OXO Good Grips Glass Pie Plate with Lid is priced where a quality kitchen tool should be. It replaces a pie dish, a storage container, and a travel carrier. For bakers who want one dish that does everything without cracking or leaking, it's the clear pick. Check the current price for the OXO Good Grips Glass Pie Plate with Lid on Amazon

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the OXO Good Grips Glass Pie Plate directly from the freezer to the oven?
Yes. Borosilicate glass tolerates extreme temperature changes without cracking, unlike standard tempered glass or ceramic. You can move it from freezer to a 450°F oven without pre-heating or tempering — a major advantage for frozen pies going straight into the oven for holidays.
Is the lid truly leak-proof for liquid pies like lemon curd or custard-based fillings?
For most liquid fillings, yes. The silicone gasket and snap-lock frame create a seal that holds when the dish is upright or tilted. Very loose, high-volume liquid (above the fill line) may seep under extreme motion. For standard slice-size portions, it travels reliably.
What is the internal diameter of the pie plate?
The dish is marked 9 inches. The interior depth is approximately 2 inches, which accommodates standard double-crust recipes without overflow. It's suitable for standard 9-inch pie recipes without modification.
Is the lid microwave safe?
The glass base and lid are both microwave safe. For best results, loosen the lid slightly when microwaving to allow steam to escape and prevent pressure buildup.
How do I clean and maintain the gasket on the lid?
The lid is top-rack dishwasher safe. For longevity, periodically remove the silicone gasket from the plastic frame, rinse both parts, and let them dry completely before reassembly. This prevents moisture trapped under the seal from developing odor over long storage periods.
