  • Strange, I never heard of any problems with breakage from dropping/bumping with the borosilicate ware? And common sense dictates not to put anything shatterable against anything at an extreme & opposite temperature. Otherwise, my advice is to just not bake any sand for dinner.

  • Keep yourself safe and just throw out all your Pyrex & Anchor Hocking glassware! I dropped a vintage Pryex mixing bowl on the floor and swept up large and small glass shards for 2 days! It's not worth having shattering glass everywere. Use metal.

  • My baking dish exploded xmas eve yesterday. I had just pulled a tray of cornbread from the oven and then set it on my cool granite counter and it exploded quite violently similar to this video. I see the cause was partly my fault for doing this but I am going to stop using glass bake wear completely. Why use glass if even there is a remote possibility of an explosion happening at only 375 degrees? All metal pans lined with parchment from now on. Be warned.

  • @shauell Sue them!

  • I just severed 2 tendons and a nerve (requiring surgery ) from an exploding pyrex dish beware.

  • @cheneygottagun actually not made in china the are european and in columbia i would know

  • The Pyrex brand name used to be known for its quality. Very disappointed in this company.

  • @RCasto They do shatter just from the heat sometimes. Never trust that they won't. Been there...

  • Last night, local station KNXV covered this story; their news anchor had a humorous (and very appropriate) tongue slip:

    "BREAKware."

  • so they're not shattering from the actual heat, but instead if it's placed on a wet or extremely cool surface after being exposed to heat, yes?
