You all are starting to make me paranoid about baking with Pyrex...

[LauraGB]

And of course the reason the old Pyrex is so much better than the new Pyrex is that the old Pyrex has much more LEAD in it! ;)

I've had one explode, and it was my own fault, and I'm not even going to go into details because it was incredibly stupid. I managed to have it explode in an upper oven, i.e., at eye level, and fortunately I had these awesome post-partum reflexes and managed to slam the door shut and contain most of the damage (but yes, I still have some permanent burn marks on my floor).

It's happened to me TWICE! What a mess! It breaks into a million beads and they go everywhere in the oven, along with the food...:glare: Once was a yummy squash casserole that I was so excited about (and not cheap to make...) The other was chicken breasts. I always set the dish on the stove while the oven is preheating, so it's not like it's a huge temp change when it goes in. So, I'm not sure why it happened.

I've had a "completely not my fault" explosion.

 

My DH and I were laying in bed, and we heard what sounded like a gunshot. We spent half an hour trying to figure out what it was before we went back to bed. When I opened my cabinet to make breakfast, glass fell all over. It was a mixing bowl with a pour spout and handle that I mostly used to mix up pancake batter. It had never been in the oven or the freezer or anything. It had probably been in the dishwasher 2 or 3 times, but that's it. It was sitting on a shelf all by itself, so there was nothing stacked on it.

 

It exploded into hundreds (thousands?) of tiny pieces plus a few larger chunks.

 

I can't remember if it was Pyrex brand (and there werent big enough pieces to tell) so it might have been a knockoff.

 

I still use some Pyrex , but I'm a bit nervous about it.

Mine was definately my fault, and it really cracked vs. exploding. But it was a scarry, dissappointing mess instead of dinner that night.

I'm sure it happens, but ... so do panty lines. Take a chance, wear the pretty ones, bake with Pyrex.

 

:lol::lol:

 

This is LIFE ADVICE here people. I love this!!!!

I accidently left an empty glass tray in the oven, and then turned the oven on. Yep, it exploded. This hasn't stopped me from baking in pyrex, though. :lol:

Wow, my explosion happened postpartum too! Due to being incredibly stupid as well, but I just posted about it.

 

When I first read your post, I thought you still had permanent burn marks on your face (shudder!). I'm so relieved it was just the floor! :grouphug:
