Pyrex dishes can go into the microwave, oven and dishwasher. You can check for the same on amazon.com

Hi Supriya, I have bought my bakeware from different stores, but Walmart will be my first choice. If I don't find something I am looking for at Walmart, then either I wait to see if I find it somewhere else, or order it from Amazon.

Christmas is one of the biggest baking seasons in the year, so I am not sure if the bakeware really go on 'sale'. Have never bought it around Christmas though, so no idea.

I mostly have pyrex brands for glass bakeware
an 8x8 square glass pyrex dish with lid
a 9x13 rectangular glass pyrex dish with lid
a 9 inch pyrex glass pie dish

These dishes also come in portable insulated carriers and I love them because you can bake and carry these for potlucks or picnics. So convenient! You can even keep them either hot or chilled depending on the dish.

For breads, cakes, muffins, bundts, I love the silicone bakeware I have. They are so easy to store, clean, and they are strong and long lasting. They don't dent or rust like the metal pans.

For cookies, I won't recommend buying the cheap metal sheets that Walmart has, because they start twisting and warping at high temperatures. After spending so much money on those kind of sheets, I discovered the heavy duty insulated layer ones. Calphalon or Farberware makes those (there maybe other brands that I don't know of). Basically these sheets have two layers of heavy duty metal with air pocket between them which helps with good soft, chewy cookies and the sheets won't bend either.

Hope I helped. Oh, and don't spend money on those silicone baking sheets that go on top of the cookie sheets, you can use non-stick aluminium foil and they are just as easy with clean up and cheaper.
