Depends what you mean by "direct heat". Silicone won't survive direct
flame. Pyrex needs to have heat applied evenly or it may shatter. But
Pyrex makes many pieces of glass ovenware, also laboratory glassware. Pyrex
glass bakeware will survive temperatures well in excess of 1,000º F, in fact
your kitchen stove will self destruct itself first.
