Anchor Hocking Glassware Reviews

I just put three peppers in my pan to grill at 400 degrees, turned them twice, next thing you know I hear an explosion. The whole entire pan exploded into pieces in my oven. Thankfully no one was hurt but glass pieces hurt the inside of the oven door...I’m trying to find a consumer number to call and complain but cannot find one. If someone knows of one please write it to me. I have pictures but I can’t seem to upload...I did research the pan and it does not say specific degrees so I’m very upset.

Recently purchased an Anchor Hocking 9x13” casserole glassware dish at Walmart. Baked in dish. All was well. Cleaned dish and put in dishwasher. Dishwasher ran in early evening and finished cycle by 8:30PM. Next morning, I opened dishwasher to air dry any dishes that may still be wet. After airing dry, my daughters were unloading the dishwasher and pulled a bowl out that was next to the casserole dish. The bowl barely tapped the dish and it exploded. No other words for the sound and mess that happened. Thankfully no one was hurt, but the mess was unbelievable.

Made a strawberry topping, and after allowing it to cool I transferred it to a room temperature dish. About three minutes later I heard an explosion and ran to the kitchen to find glass shards and strawberry sauce all over my kitchen!

Using this cookware as intended... Baking acorn squash in a water bath in oven. After 20 min of cooking light green dish explodes... Glass and water everywhere. I reported to company..They finally called me after three weeks. NO REAL ownership or even to replace my lost food or dish??? VERY POOR. DO NOT USE!!!

I just purchased this set from Canadian Tire. When I proceeded to wash the first piece, 7cp size, it literally exploded in my hands. The water was warm, not hot and the bowl was room temperature. I called customer service and gave up after 40 minutes on hold. I have used Pyrex for over 40 yrs with no issues. Now I am afraid to use or purchase it. I will be returning this set today. So sad as I am trying to move away from plastic.

My son was baking chicken in large glass baking dish by Anchor. He opened oven to pull out the dish and it exploded. He had several cuts but fortunately the large glass pieces missed him. I heard a loud bang and glass pieces on counters, tables, drawers, floor and a lot in the hot oven. Looked like hail all over my kitchen. I am blessed my son was not seriously hurt. So very scary.

Warming up mac and cheese and heard a pop. When I opened the oven I saw that the dish had shattered. Thankfully no-one was hurt. I did end up with a few cuts cleaning up the big mess and head to figure out something else for dinner.

I bought canning jars on Sat. Used them today Monday and the sides deformed and cracked. I called customer service to report it and got their parent company and told her what happened. She told me to take it back where I got it. I asked why as that was an inconvenience. I also told her that I would leave a review about their customer service. She said OK and did not offer any any help. I told her I will never use them again, and she just said "Ok". No concern or apologies.

I have 3 nesting glass bowls with lids and I cannot for the life of me figure out an easy way to remove the lids without breaking a nail lol or spilling whatever it is that I have put in the bowl. I find the lids next to impossible to open and I have short nails. I'd like to return them but I've had them for a while and don't have the receipt any longer. :(

I had baked a casserole in the anchor 9x13 glass baking dish. Removed it from the oven. Set the table and put the dish on a cork hot pad on the table. We sat down to eat. Dished up our food and the dish exploded shooting glass all over the table, food and people. Luckily no one got hurt but we had to throw away All our food. I am throwing away the other anchor products I have. They are very unsafe.

Anchor Class's hard plastic lids begin to deteriorate and drop plastic into food within 2 years of use. They blister, peel and crack even though they weren't misused. Their soft covers with a window experience fry rot causing them to become sticky and fall apart. You can buy new lids for about a dollar less than buying a new container with lid. Sounds like planned obsolescence. Their plastic should be inspected.

I took a 9x13 pan out of the cabinet to use for baking pork chops. I browned the pork chops in vegetable oil first and then put them in the pan. As I was adding toppings to the pork chops, I turned away and the pan shattered loudly into hundreds of pieces. The 9x13 pan was not cold. I will never buy any of Anchor Hocking's products again.

I bought an Anchor Hocking batter bowl today to make a microwave pie filling in. The label on the bowl said that it would go from refrigerator to freezer to microwave and could be washed in the dishwasher. I had just finished hand-washing dishes so I pulled the rubber lid off the bowl and peeled the stickers off. I held the batter bowl by the handle and lowered it into the warm dishwater. As soon as I put the bowl in the water, it shattered into thousand shards of glass, handle and all!!! It's not like the water was that hot! I was washing it, getting ready to mix a pie in it. My husband and I retrieved all the glass pieces out of the sink to save to take back to Wal-Mart with my receipt! If this is representative of the quality of Anchor Hocking, ALL of your products should be removed from the market!!!

I do a lot of canning, 80-90% of the time I use Anchor Hocking lids, by mistake, they do not seal. The jars & bands are fine but with bad lids I have to re-process everything which is a waste of time & money.

I usually buy the Pyrex, but this time I bought the Anchor glassware for storage. Within a few days, the lids started cracking and chipping. I called the customer service folks and they asked me to email them pictures of the broken lids. I did. It's been a month, no one responded. I called back twice to follow up, they said they will respond. But there has been NO RESPONSE at all. So the quality of the lids is bad, so is the customer service. I have several storage glassware sitting in my cabinet, that have no lids. Please do not buy them.

I baked with this dish the same temp over and over and just this last one, the dish exploded in my oven after about 1.5 hours of cooking. Ruining my entire supper! I have tried to reach out to Anchor Hocking / the Oneida Group but have had no response! I now have sent 2 emails to the customer service and nothing in return. Nowadays with social media you would think they would care of how people react with their experience with the product and then review them! Guess they have enough business as to where consumers mean nothing to them. Terrible customer service! Will never buy another product of theirs again and will share my review with as many people as I can.

I have been a canner for about forty years. I have always used Ball or Kerr. this time it seems every store was out of those brands in the sizes I needed, so I bought Anchor Hocking. Huge mistake. Out of about 36 jars only 4 of them sealed. What a loss in food, time and a whole lot of money. Very disappointing. Anchor Hocking should be ashamed of themselves for manufacturing such a inferior product. Every penny counts these days and with Anchor Hocking my family won't be getting a lot of the usual basics and treats because I cannot afford to buy more jars and food to can.

I was delighted to receive this insulated covered bowl as a gift. Unfortunately, the plastic lid cut my had the very first time I used it. It did not require stitches but it was a bad cut just the same. I am a heart patient and therefore, bleed heavily when injured. Months later I attempted to use the dish again. In washing the drying the bowl, my thumb rubbed the rim or lip at the top of the bowl. I was shocked by the pain and blood which suddenly erupted. With close inspection we were able to see a rough edge which appeared to have chipped off the lip edge. The bowl is now at the dump with all the other trash. I am so very disappointed with the quality of this product. I never thought I would see such horrible quality control from Anchor Hocking Cookware.

I have baked with this dish a good bit since I got it. I was washing my hands to finishing preparing our dinner and I heard a loud noise in my oven and opened it and the baking dish was shattered. So disappointing. If this is an ongoing issue why hasn't the product been recalled. I'm glad it did it in my oven and when I took it out. I haven't done anything different. The oven was set at 400 as I have always set it. Now that is food wasted because of the glass everywhere in the food and oven. This is very upsetting that the product is worthless.

I was surprised to see so many other reviews that mentioned that the cookware had exploded. I took the dish out of the oven and put it down on the glass stovetop. It shattered into hundreds of pieces. Some of the shards flew off of the three sides not facing me and fortunately, the side facing me remained intact or I'm sure I would have had cuts to my face or lost my sight. I have owned Pyrex for many years and never had anything like this happen. We owned this particular Anchor Three-piece casserole dish set (pan, lid and carrier) for about two years and have used it twice in that time. This is a dangerous product.

My wife removed an Anchor Hocking baking dish (8x8 or 8x10) from a hot oven tonight and set it on our glass top stove. Within a few seconds it shattered into hundreds of pieces, what mess. Why are these products not recalled? The general public needs to be aware that these glassware products are not safe to use. After this happened I did a quick search on Google and found lots of other similar experiences.

I was cooking cornbread recipe (from scratch) and within a couple of minutes the glass exploded in my oven. I have never had this happen before. I am pissed because it is such a mess and I rent my place. Whomever engineered this product needs to try again.

I have a bowl and a baking dish and the lids crack. The dishes are great but the lids are made cheap. I had a items less than 2 weeks. I hope someone look into this problem. When you spent money buying the items they should last.

1 year back I bought Anchor Hocking 6 pc storage with red lid. Today I put it in microwave to cook popcorn. After 3 to 4 minute of cooking I opened the microwave and took out the storage container and put it on flat surface. After 20 sec it got exploded and shattered completely. I was standing near the container and it could have hurt me badly but luckily I was safe. It was very horrible experience. I was not expecting this from a brand like Anchor.

I have had this thick, clear 8x8 glass dish for about 5-7 years. In fact, I have 2. This past weekend I baked a cake at 325 for 30 minutes, set it on my glass-top stove to check if it was cooked thoroughly then it exploded glass all across my kitchen (and ‘exploded’ is the only word to describe what happened; as in previous comments). I was stunned beyond belief what had happened. In my 36 years of cooking had I ever experienced this happening. After telling my daughter-in-law she googled & found others also reporting the same. Thankfully I nor my range was injured/damaged but others have not been so lucky and is a REAL concern. I couldn’t find an official website for Anchor Hocking to complain to them. Needless to say the other dish is now the dog’s water bowl. Replacements will be Corning or Pyrex only now.

Tonight after baking brownies in a new 8x8 glass Anchor Hocking bakeware, the glass exploded everywhere! In over 35 years of using glass casserole bakeware this has never happened to us. I did nothing differently baking this time. The oven was set for 325 for 48 min. Then placed on a cork trivet on the counter for 10 minutes when it happened. Huge shards as well as bits went everywhere and it even continued during the cleanup. I agree with another reviewer. They should be removed from store shelves and recalled!

I've had this dish for at least 10 years and I'm just now realizing that it's not suitable for conventional ovens! Why wasn't this prominently displayed on the label? Tonight, I removed the dish from the oven, removed the baked fish, and placed the dish in the sink. Seconds later, it exploded. I guess I won't be using the garbage disposal anymore because there are shards of glass in it. Fortunately, my only injury is a tiny cut received when removing the glass from the sink.

I was working on a quilt in the living room and I heard a crash in the kitchen. My first thought was that the dog knocked something over. When I put shoes on and stepped into my kitchen there was nothing visibly broken. When I got closer to the sink I noticed some glass and that my cupboard was ajar. I peeked through the crack to see shattered glass everywhere. I had to tape a bag under it so when I opened my cupboard, the glass didn't just go everywhere. It was my 4-Cup Anchor measuring cup that had exploded for no reason. I notice that this is not an isolated occurrence and that many people are having trouble with Anchor's glass products... This is insane.

While getting my supper out of the oven my casserole exploded on me. My supper and floor was runt. I have grease stains on my floor and it won't come out. I will not be buying Anchor brand again. This could have been much worse if my kid had been getting this out for me.

These great looking glass jars come with the metal lid and rubber seal, which should allow contents to remain sealed airtight. At close to $15 per jar they are pricey but airtight and glass jars are key, as plastic leaves horrible plastic smell and possible damaging petroleum chemicals in the contents, also plastic isn't airtight for extended use. The lids on every jar purchased, 15 total to date have either failed or eventually did fail. Several of the jars at retail stores had failed seals sitting on the shelves making this product useless for me or anyone looking for airtight storage. Beware if you try to purchase these jars, as they aren't airtight from the factory, or will fail in short order if purchased. The lids are the problem, and I'm trying to work with Anchor Hocking Company to get replacement lids. I'll report my success or fail as they respond.

On January 14, 2018 I was making breakfast for my Family. I set the oven for 350. 10 min later, I open oven door to check on the two dishes. Hash browns in one & the sausages in the other. Flipped the hash browns, then lifted out the dish of mini-sausages and BOOM... The glass baking dish exploded in the oven with pieces of sharp glass all over the kitchen. My hand got shards of glass in it even though I wore an oven mitt. And my toe got cut from a chunk of the glass that flew out. I am so thankful that no one else was in the kitchen at the time. I posted on my Facebook page and I discovered that this is happening way too often. Older handed down items aren't necessary to blame, the new products aren't made like it used to. I placed all my other Anchor baking dishes in the trash! I don't believe the product is safe.

Oven set for 350 degrees. Stuffed bell peppers $30.00 in food plus cost of NEW GLASS BAKING PAN just blew up in my kitchen last night. Has anyone thought of contacting the congressman in OHIO to let them know of the danger of this product. Is this company contributing campaign funds to these senators and/or congressmen/women? Obviously, the buck stops with them but the public needs to contact them first. This is crystal clear in the new documentary, "WHAT THE HEALTH?" There is power in numbers so please send emails, letters, make phone calls, etc. THIS IS TRULY A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE & SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED any longer with all of the complaints that I have read!!!

"Presence" Glass Dinnerware Set - I love the clear dishes... but they are very dangerous. The large glass plates have a small lip on the edge, that shears off and leaves glass slivers in the dish drain... that pokes the person in the hands. I am returning them to Walmart for a full refund. Beware!

Thought my experience would be unbelievable until I read other reviews. I have had 3 drinking glasses to explode sitting in my kitchen sink. Glass splatters everywhere in shreds. I have 7 glasses left which will be removed from cabinets. This could be a very dangerous situation.

It all started on a brisk November afternoon, I was headed home and decided to stop at the local grocery store to get some turkey breasts to marinate for later in the week. I decided on free range, hormone free, organic turkey breast which cost a pretty penny. I decided to splurge with the thought that I work hard for the money, so hard for the money so I better treat myself right. I brought home the beautiful specimens and carefully laid them in a Ziploc bag for a nice relaxing bath in Worcestershire sauce and seasonings. The time came for me to cook them. I decided on my brand new Anchor Hocking Baking Dish that was a gift from my aunt. It was the perfect size and I wanted to give those babies the perfect bake. I brought out the 'big guns' which turned out to be more of a grenade. I placed them in the dish and sat them in the oven at a toasty 350 degrees.

Shocking!!! Cooking chicken for family and a guest 2 days ago... Open oven door to check on the chicken after 30 minutes at 350 degrees and BOOM... baking dish glass cracked and basically exploded in the oven with pieces of sharp glass even on the kitchen floor. The water/grease/fat etc. was pooled everywhere at bottom of oven that now requires a bigger cleanup job. Had to go out to the store at 6pm to buy steaks to cook on the stove top. Pics included here. I did not contact the company directly yet, not sure what they will do other than replace the dish...I do not want another Anchor baking dish.

This morning I placed my large glass measuring cup in the microwave as I always do to heat up water for my oatmeal. While it was heating I went to get my newspaper. When I opened the microwave the glass cup had exploded. Of course it was full of boiling hot water so I had to wait to get all of it out. I also have a casserole dish and other glass measuring cups from them as well. I will be removing all of these from my cabinets. I want to contact the company but am unsure how to do that. I can't find their contact information. I googled their company and read this is not an uncommon occurrence. How are they still being sold? I am baffled. I saw some posts where people actually had been injured. I saw once where a casserole dish with food in it exploded in the stove. This is unacceptable. This company has to know this is happening.

After spending approximately an hour making mushroom soup and then enjoying a bowlful. I wanted to soak the pot I made the soup in and got a large Anchor Hocking glass bowl from my pantry. I then poured the remaining soup into the bowl, which by this time had cooled down some. I then sat down to enjoy my dessert when my husband and I heard a loud bang in our kitchen. We both went to see what had happened and found the glass bowl had exploded and my very good soup was all over the counter. Needless to say I was extremely upset, not only had I wasted my time and money but we had no more soup!

I was sitting in my preschool classroom, working with my students, when I heard a loud shattering sound. I asked my aides if they knew what it was. We looked around the entire classroom and couldn't find anything. It wasn't until I went home and went to unpack my lunch bag that I discovered that my glass container had exploded in my bag. (THANKFULLY!) There were shards of glass everywhere and I had to throw the bag away. The photo I attached doesn't do it justice. It was crazy! I am so thankful nobody was near it when it happened.

I had this measuring glass less than a year. I use it to microwave water for instant mashed potatoes usually. I put it in the microwave for 4 minutes with 4 cups of water in it. When it was time to take it out, I grabbed the handle like always and it literally burnt my skin off! As I ran to put my hand in the water, I could hear the glass cracking. The entire handle shattered. It's been almost a week, and I am dealing with huge blisters, and pain of course on my dominant hand. I had to go to the express care because I was worried of infection and ended up with a tetanus shot, and 2 antibiotics. I am now scared to put anything glass in the microwave, even when it says microwave safe on it. I would be very careful!

Bought six-dozen half-pint anchor mason jars for a large canning project. Used 3 of them (opened all but 1 package thinking I'd use them all). Got about 28 jars into my canning (first batch of 14 was out, second batch was in the canner) and realized that almost half of my first batch was not sealing, or had a questionable shape to the seal. I had noticed there was a convex shape to the lids, but decided to try them anyway. Thankfully, I had some extra Kerr lids on hand and the next batch was done with those and ALL sealed fine.

I purchased on Fri the 21 2 dozen half pint and one dozen pint Anchor Hocking canning jars with lids and rings from Walmart for canning. Out of the 3 dozen jars only 4 sealed. The rest were junk. I had also used Ball which all sealed so I know it wasn't my method or anything I was doing wrong. I'm a seasoned canner. I'm very disappointed in this brand and will never purchase this brand jars or recommend them.

I purchased a 9x9 Anchor glassware baking dish at Walmart. I washed it in warm, sudsy water, dried it and sat it on the counter for approximately 10 minutes. I mixed up batter for a blueberry cobbler, poured it in the dish and put it in a 350 degree preheated oven and set the timer. In less than a minute, I heard a strange noise in the oven. I opened the oven door and glass flew out. The entire pan had exploded in my oven. The cobbler ran all over the oven and onto the heating element, filling my house with smoke. I have a huge mess to clean up and obviously no cobbler for dessert. I'm very disappointed as I thought Anchor was a good brand. I'm throwing out all my Anchor glassware before there's another incident like this one. I'm just thankful no one got hurt. I've seen several other reviews like mine and I'm wondering why this product is still being sold.

As I was pulling dinner out of the oven tonight as soon as I had the glass dinner pan in my hand it exploded everywhere. We was making chicken and baking on 350 degrees. Thank God my father was standing on the opposite side of the kitchen with my 16 month old daughter when this happened and I was the only one to be hit! As I see other reviews this has happened many of times! This is so dangerous! Luckily I was not too badly burned! Just on the tops of my feet but could have been very worse! Why would you not recall these when so many people are reporting that this kind of thing happens!

I have not had any dishes explode as some of the other reviewer's have said. However I have not baked anything in them, just heated things in the microwave. But the lids are awful!!! I never ever put them in the dishwasher or the microwave as I have a microwave cover. But after about two weeks they all started breaking at the edges and were useless to keep the air out of food. I will never buy Anchor products again.

I purchased the glass bowl set, 2.5 quart & smaller ones with red lids. The lids are almost impossible to get off! I gave up and now use a plastic wrap. This is a disgrace for Hocking. I will purchase Pyrex or ANY other product but Hocking. From all the other complaints, it doesn't look like Hocking cares enough to respond to any of their customers... now former customers. Shame on you Hocking. I tell everyone about the inferior lids so they don't get taken either.

We purchased this set of Rio glasses for the holidays in November of 2016. The first glass to break was one of the tall ones. My grown son picked it up and due to condensation it slipped right through his hand and was broken. Others have broken by having them tap against a table and slipping out of our hands. The final straw and reason for this review is while washing one by hand and very carefully the glass slipped, dropped a few inches, glass flew up and cut me above the wrist. I received a two inch cut, seven stitches, and a nick in one vein. I called customer service and was told, "If you can't send us the glass we can't help you."

I was in my kitchen when I heard a sound of breaking glass. Started going through cupboards and when I opened the one with glass mixing bowls and measuring cups I found that my large Anchor mixing bowl had exploded. I am throwing ALL Anchor bowls and measuring cups out.

The casserole dish I started to remove from the oven that was on bake at 400 literally exploded in my hands and dropped onto the inner glass of my Thermadore oven breaking the inner oven glass door. When the dish exploded large shards of glass flew into and around the oven. Luckily I had large oven mitts that covers my wrists and lower arm or the glass would have cut me. The boiling liquid from the item I was cooking splattered everywhere as well. Just saw the numerous complaints. I purchased the set at Target. There needs to be a recall but I'm the one stuck having to pay anywhere from $500 on up to fix my oven door because of the product. I have pictures as well to show the damage. THROW ANY ANCHOR HOCKING GLASSWARE AWAY.

Yesterday I was cooking 3 chicken breasts in the oven in a 9 X 13 Anchorware glass dish. The only thing in the dish besides the chicken was some butter (maybe one tablespoon at the most). After 35 minutes I opened the oven door, and attempted to remove the dish from the oven. When I grabbed the handles with pot holders, the baking dish exploded, send glass into the oven, the kitchen and my face. How I didn't get cut was a miracle. Due to the butter being in the dish, the glass stuck to the oven door, the floor and anything else it touched. It took me a complete day to clean my kitchen and oven so it could be used again. I was absolutely amazed at the number of such incidents occurring with Anchor Hocking Cookware. I have not called them yet, but I don't think I would want a replacement dish anyway. I am throwing away the other one that I have. It's just not worth the risk.

THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED. I just bought your three pack backing dishes - put one in the oven and within FIVE minutes the dish EXPLODED! These are incredibly dangerous and from reading other reviews this is apparently normal. Why these are still being sold is beyond me but tell a friend cause this is a terrible and dangerous product.

This was the second time I had used my casserole dish. I was cooking my Christmas ham and the dish exploded in the oven. I'm glad I didn't have the oven open or have other food in the oven because I could have been badly hurt.

Recently bought an Anchor glass 2 cup measuring cup. Just used it and washed it and it sliced my finger open. Just wonderful to happen right before the holidays and now everything I do is painful. Hurt just taking a shower. Very unhappy. Will never use it again!!!

My baking dish EXPLODED, sending giant shards of burning glass all over my kitchen and by some miracle missing cutting/burning me as I stood about 18 inches away. The glass burned itself into my carpet and managed to ruin all of the food in the general area. So my dinner was ruined, my cookware is ruined and my carpet is ruined. I hope Anchor comes through and helps somehow - reading some of these other reviews have made me suspicious of their willingness to make it right and compensate for damages caused by their faulty products. I saw where they offered to send someone a new dish... Really? No thanks. I don't want another exploding product. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS DANGEROUS!

Exploding Anchor Hocking Glass - Had a small prep/storage bowl. Put some leftovers in it. After removing from the fridge, I put it on the counter and in less than two minutes it EXPLODED. Food and glass went everywhere. All over the counter and a wide area of the floor. Very scary. Thought I cleaned it up thoroughly, but the next morning I cut my finger on a small piece of glass still on the counter. I am shocked that this glass is still on the market. This product is dangerous and should be recalled.

I recently purchased a 24-piece set of glass storage containers, choosing this brand because of its longstanding existence and positive experiences with past purchases. After hand washing the items and allowing them to dry, I nested the bowls and lids in two small stacks and left them on the counter. The nesting fit was roomy. Two hours later while I was in another room, I heard the sound of glass shattering and walked into the kitchen to find one of the bowls completely shattered and glass shards scattered all around the kitchen. The container had never been used, wasn't mishandled, hadn't changed temperatures abruptly.

Two weeks ago, I purchased a twin-pack of Anchor Hocking glass bakeware which included an 8" square and a 2 quart bake dish with blue storage tops from JC Penney. I washed the pieces in the dishwasher, then stored them in a kitchen cabinet. Two days ago, I opened the cabinet door and the larger bake dish had exploded into at least a couple of hundred pieces. Fortunately, no one was injured. I think this product should be taken off of the market!

After reading a handful of reviews I was amazed that how many people this happened too. The first time, about six months ago cooking a little frozen stuffed chicken half way through about 15 minutes in the oven we heard a sound in the oven and the baking pan literally exploded. Never saw anything like it. We thought maybe a fluke thing. Just about half an hour ago today, another one we had stored on top of a shelf where we keep a couple baking pans we heard a huge bang (scared the crap out of me). Looked and saw shattered glass everywhere!! Freaked me out. I thought the place might be haunted. That's when I looked at these reviews and couldn't believe so many people it happened to.

I was baking a spaghetti casserole in a 350-degree oven. The recipe called for 35 minutes in the oven. After being in the oven for 15 minutes I heard a strange noise. It was the pan exploding in the oven. I shut the oven off immediately but had spaghetti all over the bottom of the oven!!! I took pictures of the incident. I would not recommend these pans from Anchor Hocking!!! Very disappointed!! I know you people owe me for this pan!!!

Last night I was cooking homemade rolls, nothing out of the ordinary. I used no fats or water or anything inside the oven, which could contribute to a rapid temperature change causing an explosion. I sat the dish on top of the oven to butter the rolls on top and to cool. My 11-year-old daughter helped me. We walked toward the refrigerator to put the butter away (minutes only) and heard a cracking noise and then a pop. The dish exploded and sent very hot, sharp shards flying feet from the oven, where a one-inch shard pierced my foot about 1/2 an inch deep, creating a wound that bled profusely when I yanked out the glass.

Was cooking an enchilada casserole which had been in the oven about 15 minutes. Opened the oven to add cheese to the top and the dish exploded sending shards of glass all over the oven and kitchen floor! What a mess! I had to take the oven door off because the door was open when the glass broke and hot enchiladas dripped down into the crevice where the door opens! What a mess!!

This morning, I came downstairs and began emptying the dishwasher. When I opened the cabinet to put away some dishes, I was amazed to find our Anchor 2 Cup measuring pitcher lying in pieces INSIDE THE CLOSED CABINET. During the night, this piece of glassware spontaneously exploded AT ROOM TEMPERATURE with enough force to throw glass shards 2 feet away inside the cabinet. I find this totally inexplicable since there was no temperature differential involved, no movement and no compression factor since the pitcher was sitting isolated on top of a padded shelf liner. I've included pictures of what I saw when I opened the cabinet door for reference.

After waiting nearly 3 months to get my set from Amazon it finally came, forgetting all about it. It was kind of a surprise and so was the accident that happened the very next day when I tried to microwave my food... on the very first use after reading that it's microwave safe the glass shattered and went everywhere. Not surprising after reading all the review though. Disappointing.

I bought a new 9x13 cake pan, brought it home, washed it, made a cake, baked @ 350, took it out of the oven, walked 5 feet away from cake cooling on rack, and the pan broke into a million pieces, all over the kitchen the cake. Call Anchor Hocking, they told me they would only compensate me for the pan because I didn't keep the dish and send it back. I ask them where it says that. I still had the original pkg, and nowhere on that pkg did it say that. I told them to keep their dish, I would never buy from them again. Bad customer service, poor quality product.

Anchor lids all split. Will never buy again as they are useless without the lids. Waste of money. Do not buy. Very poor quality. I'll be buying Pyrex from now on. Had them for years.

I have bought several glass containers from Anchor Hocking. Every single one of the plastic lids has cracked rendering the entire container virtually useless, since it's no longer sealed. Completely disappointed these are not covered under warranty. I can pretty much buy a whole new set for what it would cost me to replace the lids...which by the way have only ever been in the refrigerator and dishwasher as per written guidelines. Will not be supporting this company in buying anymore glass from them.

I had a 13.5 x 9.5 rectangular bake-ware that exploded in my oven yesterday. What or who do I contact about that?

I purchased an Anchor dish a few months ago and had used it about a dozen times. It had been in the oven with some fat in it prior to placing potatoes in. I took it out of the oven and placed it on a breadboard. Before I could put the potatoes in, it exploded sending hot shattered glass everywhere. I was extremely lucky that I was not hit. The breadboard had tiny fragments of glass embedded in it and had to be thrown out as did our lunch. Part of the kitchen floor was melted where a large piece of glass had landed. We are still removing tiny fragments from the work surface and the floor.

After baking a Lasagna, I let it cool for thirty minutes, and sliced portions to remove for serving. On the next to last slice, as I was removing the knife and without touching it the Glass Baking Pan literally jumped in an explosion sending shards and pieces that had the appearance of safety glass similar to an automobile windshield, when they break.

We have several small Anchor Ovenware bowls with lids. Just a few minutes ago, one of the lids just exploded all over the kitchen. The dish, neither the bowl nor lid, were being used for cooking - the bowl and lid was simply sitting on a shelf at room temperature. Needless to say, I'm removing all Anchor products from my house, including the remaining bowls and lids.

Made a shepherd's pie and had it in the oven on medium heat. Sat down and 5 minutes later, there was a shattering sound and the dish had exploded. Lucky the oven door was closed at the time and we had the dish on an oven tray. We have another dish the same but won't be using it in the oven ever.

Our brand new non-stick pan was used twice in a toaster oven without incident. Now we discovered that a recall or Cease of Production was put in place. Stores stopped selling these but ours was bought on clearance at Winn-Dixie. Publix did pull them before they were not sold by manufacturers anymore. Ours exploded in my hand all around our kitchen when removed from a hot area. Company offered to send a replacement as "they are backlogged" but I do NOT want another glass pan after I had one for years w/ no problem! It went all over our kitchen cutting me!

I was fixing to make cornbread and had the oven on preheat and when I put the pan in the oven and close the door it exploded all to pieces.

I purchased a brand new 3 piece bakeware set at Bed, Bath & Beyond on October 2, 2015. I followed the instructions on the label; however, in the middle of baking a peach cobbler the glassware exploded. The temperature was only 350 and it had only been baking for approximately 30 minutes. Thank God the oven door was closed when it exploded. There's obviously something wrong with their Q&A department since there have been other incidents similar to mine. I can't believe the company hasn't been investigated.

HOLY COW!! On Saturday, September 19, 2015, my husband purchased a 2 qt. Anchor Hocking glass casserole dish at our local Publix store. When he got home with the groceries, I wiped out the dish with a damp cloth and prepared chicken tetrazzini for company that evening. The dish did not have any scratches or nicks since it was new, and I did not use knives or utensils in the dish. The dish was not subjected to extreme temperature changes and I only used it on "bake" in the oven. (In other words, I followed all the requirements on the AH label.) I took the dish from the counter at room temperature and placed it in my pre-heated oven at 375 degrees. It was to bake for 25 minutes. I left the kitchen to clean up and sometime in the 25-minute interval, the new AH dish exploded, spraying pieces of glass and dinner throughout the oven.

We bought this glass oven to table glass dish 27 August 2015 from T J Hughes in Stretford, Manchester. On the following Saturday, my wife used it for the first time to cook a leg of lamb. It had been cooking for approx. 25 minutes when she went to check it. As she picked the dish up it exploded in her hands, ruining the meat. She was lucky the bits of glass missed her face and eyes. We collected all the bits of glass up and returned them to the shop we bought it from. Having called back to the shop, we have still not any information as to the reason this happened as they have not had any from your company and they are still selling these dishes. We were lucky nobody was hurt and would advise any not to buy your products.

My mother-in-law was baking enchiladas in our oven and they had been in the oven for thirty minutes. We have had this particular dish for just over one year. As the dish was being checked it exploded! My wife and mother in law were very close to the dish with the oven door open. I immediately emailed Anchor Hocking on a Friday night of the incident. I received an email back the following Tuesday. As a few days had gone I naturally disposed of the enchiladas but took several pictures and saved the biggest chunks of glass. They told me that we need all of the glass for an analysis and the pictures were useless. Subsequently when I finished cleaning the oven I discovered that the shock from the explosion had broken my rack support. I explained this to Anchor Hocking customer service and they fell back on needing the glass analysis in order to cover any damage. Bottom line the product, customer service, overall experience and potential for injury is not worth taking the chance with this product. Take it from a firefighter/paramedic. Stay way from Anchor Hocking!

I bought two glass 6 inch pie pans and used them for the first time today making pecan pie. One is okay, the other broke in the oven after it was in the oven about 5 min. It made a complete mess in the oven, which is new, and the oven caught on fire. I got the fire out quickly so it did no damage to the oven. But I not happy with Anchor Hocking. I now have to clean the mess in there after it cools. These pie plates were bought at Kmart.

I was boiling water this morning to refill my hummingbird feeders. The water was boiled in my boiler and sugar had already been added. I removed the boiler from the hot eye to cool. Meanwhile I decided to pour the hot liquid into a measuring cup to cool so I could make some more. Approximately 5 minutes later, I placed a room temp Anchor Hocking measuring cup on a room temp stove and began to pour the hot liquid into the Anchor Hocking cup. It exploded like a gunshot. There was glass and hummingbird nectar all over my kitchen. I am going to be done with glass measuring cups after this. Thankfully the tempered glass broke into major chunks like a broken windshield. There were still very fine slivers all over the floor and countertop. Not a happy camper right now.

Anchor clear two cup bowls - 3 pack: I purchased these bowls (and some Pyrex ones) because I wanted something more durable than plastic. I also wanted to be able to see the contents without removing the lids. I have owned these for a couple of years. The blue lids are disintegrating. Replacing items that I paid a little more for was not my goal. I need three new lids.

I bought a 14 piece glass set. The blue lids for the Anchor bowls are faulty. I have not used the bowl lids in the microwave and I have only washed them by hand. So far all lids have cracked the very first time I used them. I mailed "Anchor" to advise them of the problem and sent them 5-years warranty. Today I received letter from Amy ** (Consumer Affairs). The letter said that all non glass accessories are purchased by us for our products and not included under the glassware warranty. "To purchase new one please visit our online store." It seems that the Anchor people are aware of the problem as they have a website that makes it easier for the consumer to 'purchase' just the lids for all their bowls. It is poor customer relations to sell a faulty product and expect us to put more money out to their company when it is clearly their fault.

Have now had the markings on both my 1 cup and 4 cup measuring glasses completely disappear after a dishwasher cleaning. Both cups fairly new. How can they manufacture measuring cups that can't be washed in a dishwasher or last more than a few uses? Not an expensive loss... but nevertheless... frustrating that there are so many comments about this, and this company makes money on this useless product!

My 6 yrs old son and myself baking a cake and casserole. Had followed recipe, preheated to 350 and placed baking dishes in oven. The first dish shattered right after we removed it from oven and set it to cool on a towel. Glass flew all over the kitchen hitting myself in the face and arms. My son was hit above the eye. While cleaning up the shocking mess and tending to our cuts I heard the casserole dish explode in the oven. At first I thought our new oven had exploded and quickly found a huge mess inside. At least no injuries with second dish. I've baked my entire life and we have never had this occur. The dishes were new straight from the store. We washed by hand and placed in drainer and an hour later whipped up recipes to be involved in a disaster. It was terrifying especially how close it came to his eye.

I was heating up some leftovers in the microwave for a few minutes and the glass was hot to the touch, but nothing too extreme. I didn't want to burn myself so I attempted to remove the dish using a damp, room temperature paper towel and the glassware exploded everywhere, and it sounded like a gunshot it was so loud. The warranty info specifically says this glassware is microwave and oven safe, and I am incredibly dissatisfied with this product. I don't even care about the $5 glassware, it's a safety hazard and I could have been seriously hurt if I got cut by the glassware.

My daughter was taking the dish out of the oven last night & as soon as she pulled it out & set it on the countertop, it exploded & went everywhere, including hitting her! Glass was everywhere! This is the second dish from this set that has done this. The first one cracked while in the oven. I never preheated my oven & I didn't leave the dish in any longer than what the directions called for. I am very upset & will definitely be contacting the company about this. I will never EVER purchase any of their products again! You're supposed to be well known for your products & they've been in homes everywhere for years. But you didn't tell us that along with buying your CRAP, that we'd have to worry as well!

Good Evening. I have 4 glassware products from Anchor Hocking. I have used a couple of them multiple times in the oven with no issues, until now. I set my oven to 350 and put cake batter into my 9x13 and put that into the oven. NOT EVEN 5 minutes later I hear a crashing sound. I open my oven and the entire pan had shattered and my batter along with all of the glass was ALL over my oven. This is extremely hazardous. I am very disappointed with this product. I will be writing negative reviews on many websites. In a way, I'm lucky the entire thing exploded. It could have been just the first layer of glass and I wouldn't have known and then there could have been glass in my food. Again, I repeat extremely hazardous.

While cooking supper, I placed the 8 Cup measuring cup in the microwave to mix gravy. I set the timer for two minutes and when the time was up I reached in and grabbed the handle only to discover that it had super-heated and had actually melted. This measuring cup is supposed to be dishwasher, microwave and conventional oven safe but it melted all the same. I received a blistered, 2nd degree burn on the middle finger of my left hand and a first degree burn on the fourth finger of the same hand.

My daughter prepared a chicken casserole and took it out of the oven and was in the process of placing it on the countertop when the entire casserole dish shattered into a million pieces. Glass shards and hot chicken casserole burned and cut my daughter's hands as she was still holding the casserole dish while placing it on the counter top. After looking at this website, I can't imagine why Anchor Hocking would not remove these dangerous products off the marketplace. We will continue to pursue this issue. We're pissed!

20 minutes into cooking scalloped potatoes, the casserole dish exploded all over my oven. What a huge mess, and dinner was obviously ruined. I've had the dish for just over a year. It wasn't cracked or damaged. Completely confused as to why this happened.

I was cooking using a anchor hocking lasagna glass dish at 325 and I took the pan out and placed in some pot holders to cool. I turn around to grab a spatula and it exploded - not just cracked or broke. It sent glass all over my kitchen and burnt my leg, arm, and face. I didn't bother going to the hospital. Being a nurse I knew there was nothing they could do besides clean the wounds. I contacted the company and was pawn off basically. They said its not their problem because I didn't go to hospital and they wanted to send out a new dish. I will never again use there cookware.

My wife and I bought a combo package of two glass baking dishes from Anchor Hocking. On the very first use, only having put hot tap water in the pan to mix some potato flakes to make a casserole, the pan exploded. Covered my forearms, floor, and oven top with glass shards. Most dangerous thing I've ever used in a kitchen. Buy a different brand.

Have used this pan probably 100x. Was roasting cauliflower in it last night, opened the oven to give it a stir, and it exploded. Glass shot all over the kitchen floor, inside the oven, down into the oven drawer and even up onto the countertops. It ruined dinner and took over 2 hours to clean up all of the big pieces and little shards. Fortunately my family, pets and I were not hurt, but needless to say, my other Anchor Hocking glass pans are going into the garbage and I won't be buying them again. I Googled this problem afterwards and am shocked at how many problems there are with these glass pans shattering or exploding. I do not recommend these -- I was using it as it is intended to be used.

I placed 2 9x13 glass dishes in the oven. One was Pyrex brand the other was Anchor Hocking. I was baking chicken breasts at 400 degrees as always and within the baking pan instructional guidelines. After 30 minutes the Anchor Hocking exploded throwing shards of glass everywhere!! Very upsetting!!

The bowls are fine but the company don't have lids to replace the lids that get worn out or broken. I look on their website and they don't have them. So what’s up with that? I even other look place that might have some, there is nothing. I WANT LIDS.

So while cleaning and studying in the kitchen, Thomas and I heard random glass shattering. It took us a minute to figure out what it was, but it turns out our glass 9 x 13 baking dish just shattered all over the shelf where we store it. It would be one thing if this was during cooking and we had exceeded the 400 degree temperature allowed, but this was just sitting on the shelf.

I was baking chicken in my oven. Had been baking it for about 50 min. Temperature was set to 350 degrees. I had three pieces in a Pyrex clear glass baking dish and had to keep my daughters separate due to her not liking barbecue sauce so I placed her chicken breast in the smallest of the anchor clear glass baking dish. After about 25 min I added just about 1/2 a cup of water to the dish and it literally shattered like an explosion. I had glass all over my oven. Scared me so badly. I not only had this small Anchor baking dish that clearly reads conventional oven proof on the bottom, but I also bought two of my adult children sets for Christmas this past year. I am letting them know to get rid of them that they are dangerous to bake in. Luckily none of the glass cut me or punctured my skin due to my quick reaction in closing my oven door very quickly. Someone else might not be so lucky.

Well I ordered a Anchor Hocking 2 quart mixing bowl with a spout. After I ordered it I called them about a question about making caramel or other candies. They don't recommend any glass bowls for making candies or caramel. If I would have known that I would not have ordered it. Didn't say anything about this in the information on this item. Yet I looked at other glass bowls and they're called microwave safe bowls. A lot of glass bowls don't say they're microwave safe bowls or heatproof. How are you suppose what is safe or not safe for making caramel in a glass bowl if they don't say if they're safe. Does anybody know who makes a safe glass bowls for making caramel?

I tried to get replacement lids as the lids are super POOR quality. Were falling apart after a couple months of hand washing. I shipped them my lids as they requested and they never sent me the replacement lids. After approx 8 reply emails and 6 attempts to contact customer support. NO REPLY. Brutal quality and brutal customer service. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY!

I put dinner in the oven as I've done hundreds of times but this particular night I used my Anchor 13x9 glass dish for probably the 10th time and I heard a loud explosive pop from the kitchen. We ran in to see that the dish had exploded in my (rental) oven at 375 degrees baking for only 40 minutes! Now I'm going to liable for the damage it did to the glass window of the stove, that cracked when it exploded. Literally burst and shattered!!

I was watching TV when I heard a crashing sound coming from my kitchen. As my cat was eating her night-time feed, I thought she had tipped her bowl over, and did not pay attention as I was tired from shoveling snow (I'm in Canada). Next morning I totally forgot about the sound I had heard the previous night, until I opened the armoire where I keep my pots and pans and baking ware, and all my glass bowls and pitchers and casserole dishes. I could not believe my eyes. The top shelf was completely covered in chunks and slivers of glass. I had to make sure the cat did not come into the kitchen in case the glass fell out on the floor. I shut the cabinet doors as I had to leave for work; and I had to face this mess that night when I came home.

I placed an Anchor Hocking glass baking dish into an oven heating up to 350 degrees. Less than five minutes later the glass dish exploded over the entire oven. Oven is now covered in food and shards of glass. I'm afraid to go anywhere near it for fear of cutting myself or having glass end up in my food at a later time if I miss something while cleaning up. I don't understand why these products are even allowed to be sold anywhere.

A few minutes after taking a baked pudding in an Ovations Anchor Hocking dish out of the oven and placing it on the counter top, it exploded with bits of glass flying in all directions. Some fragments were very small, razor sharp and was found in other food that was in the vicinity and which also had to be discarded. I have another Ovations baking dish and will never use it in the oven again.

I was getting my dishes ready to wash. What I normally do is half hot water from the faucet, the other half I use water I boiled. I had my dishes already in the sink, including my Anchor casserole dish (which I baked chicken in previously). After I ran the faucet water, then I poured the water I boiled. As I was pouring the water into the sink, the bakeware popped and exploded. I could have been injured. I didn't even finish pouring all of the water out of the pot. Pieces popped into the next sink. This is the 2nd time this has happened. The 1st time was about 4 years ago. I had a 7-layer dip in the oven and it just exploded and ruined my Super Bowl meal.

Took the casserole out of the oven, set it on a cool stove and after 3-5 mins, BOOM the whole thing exploded.

We were using a glass baking ware dish for Xmas dinner. As we were all gathered in the kitchen with 15 minutes until dinner, the glass dish exploded in our oven and our Xmas dinner was ruined. Thank God none of our family members, human or animal, were injured. If someone had the oven open or been checking on the meat when it exploded this would be a whole other review. After reading the reviews on this website, I am disturbed that they are still permitted to sell these products.

I called them regarding their lids which were warping in the fridge. They want me to send it to them. What a waste of time and money. They will not send me a replacement. Please contact them.

NO STARS, I Bought 3 pack of Anchor Baking dishes within 20 mins of getting home from Target had dish in oven at 350 degrees not even 5 mins in the oven the dish exploded. Besides having a huge mess I lost dinner. Never buy this brand.

I was making meatloaf and chicken side by side in the oven. My oven shook and then a loud explosion sound, then the sound of glass shattering. I immediately shut oven off, open door and my meatloaf dish had shattered. Shards of glass everywhere.

I was using my anchor hocking baking dish that I have used before several times and about 15 minutes into the baking process the dish exploded in the oven. I have never had this happen before. Not happy with this... It is dangerous and frustrating.

I purchased the Palladian Canister set by Anchor Hocking (on the Oneida/anchor Hocking website) because it is a company that provides American made products. I was disappointed to find that it was made in China. When I talked to the customer service person, she replied I could send the product back. I asked if they provided postage paid, she replied no. I then proceeded to comment that "Made In USA" is proudly displayed on the site. She stated that that particular product was not. That is all the help I received from her. I was expected to pay shipping. Very disappointed that I will no longer purchase these products.

I purchased an Anchor Hocking loaf pan from Target earlier this year. I used it for the first time last week, to make a pumpkin bread. 350 degrees, 55 minutes. 25 minutes into cooking, I heard a crash. I opened the oven door to see that the pan had completely shattered. This was my first time using the pan. I was storing it in a cabinet at room temperature. I put it into a preheated oven. I can't find a good explanation for why this happened or how to prevent it in the future.

I heard a loud noise come from my kitchen & when I opened the oven door, I discovered that my glass pie pan had exploded all over my oven!! So much for eating my chicken breast for lunch. Instead I now have a big mess to clean up once the oven cools down enough!! I've used this pie pan countless times & have had it for several years. It wasn't cracked or damaged at all... and the oven temp was only at 425, not on broiler either. This is a hazard that Anchor Hocking needs to address before someone gets seriously injured!!

My daughter was baking pork chops and when she took them out of the oven, the dish exploded. Glass went everywhere and when my daughter stepped back, she cut her foot on some of the glass. I had to turn off supper, leave the mess and take her to an urgent care to get stitches. She has missed 4 days of work. I really am upset. I have other anchor hocking dishes that I am going to get rid of. It make me want to just cook with metal pans only.

Pulled the dish from the oven and it exploded. Ruined dinner, glass flew 6 feet away. Thank heavens my child wasn't anywhere near!

I was interested in purchasing some glass food storage containers from the Container Store made by Anchor Hocking. I called Anchor Hocking to try to get some product information but was just given a toll free number where there is no way for a consumer to speak to a representative directly. I also contacted the Anchor Hocking company via their contact form through their website and I never received a response. Because of Anchor Hocking's unresponsiveness to a simple question about their products, I will never purchase any item from Anchor Hocking. I will not support a company that does not respond to questions from consumers.

I like the convenience of the small container but I found the lids tend to crack and rip too easily. Unfortunately when they were on sale I bought lot of them to replace plastics and lost lot of lids and to replace this lids are expensive as buying a new set. What a waste.

I was using a glass kitchen storage container that is supposed to be microwave safe to heat up my lunch and it exploded! I had this container prior to the explosion for about 2 years and had never cracked it or damaged it in any way. The container wasn't even in the microwave for a minute when I heard a loud bang and upon opening the microwave, found my container had exploded. This is a serious safety issue! Also, their lids crack so easily!

Very happy with them for the first few months but all of the lids have cracked. Have not put them in the dishwasher. Would be nice to be able to buy replacements...

I made meatloaf in an Anchor Hocking glass baking dish. I am well aware of the consequences of mishandling hot glassware and therefore follow the guidelines to insure my glass baking ware does not break or crack. On this day, I took my meatloaf out of the oven, the hot grease was beside the meatloaf in the pan and when the dish exploded, the hot grease splattered on me, parts of the glass which were so hot hit all over me, and it felt terrible having all those hit me all over and especially my face. I have contacted everyone at their company and not gotten so much as a return call. Same with Better Business Bureau. I have 3 scars on my face and 2 on my leg and a few on my hands.

This is the 2nd time I have written you. One of your Anchor Hocking baking dishes exploded. I have lacerations. I have been to the ER 4 times. I have had 2 CAT scans and was informed that I have a severe concussion. I would appreciate a CEO or the president of Anchor Hocking contact me via email. This is a subject that should take precedence over any other issues. I don't understand why I have had to request again when a request went out and I was told I would be notified directly very shortly. That was four days ago. I have a picture but cannot download them to this site. Somebody needs to contact me about the matter at hand.

I purchased a 16-piece set of Anchor Hocking tumblers about 6 months ago (Linden, Item # 94774L8). Because the glass is so fragile, I only have 4 glasses left intact. Most of the others had to be thrown out because of tiny chips or cracks, which I didn't notice until I took a drink from them. Also there is a blue tumbler I bought in a set over 10 years ago. I have 4 of those still intact after all these years! The difference? The older (blue) set is made of much thicker, sturdier glass. Do you still use the thicker, sturdier glass to make the Manchester style tumblers? If so, I would like a set of 16 Manchester tumblers as a replacement for my thin (and dangerous!) Linden set.

I was broiling some beef. I only broiled it for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. I had my 3 year-old daughter in the kitchen only 2 feet away and had LUCKILY just put my 2 month-old son down in his swing so I could pull the roast out. No sooner did I pull it out and it EXPLODED with a loud POP!! It didn't even make it out of my hand! It scared my daughter and I half to death. Glass went everywhere. Dinner was ruined, and I spent the next hour cleaning my floor and counters. I was cleaning up glass that was 5 feet away! LUCKY we didn't get hurt. Considering the force of that explosion, I'm surprised neither of us got struck!

I was cooking Bruschetta stuffed chicken and placed the pan in the oven at 350 degrees. About 20 minutes in, the pan exploded.

When purchasing the Montana Jars online, I had stopped to pull off a conversion chart to see which sizes I wanted. Within a 45-minute span, the price on the 1.5 gallon had jumped from $9.99 to $19.99 in the afternoon, not like at 12:00 am. I called to complain and the customer representative informed me that they could raise the price anytime they wanted. I also placed this order on January 8th and finally called on the 18th because I still had not received the order. They informed me the 1.5 gallon jar was on backorder and would not be in until February 15th. Bad service and they are also impossible to talk to and get anywhere on the phone and email is even worse. I also just purchased an Anchor Hocking bowl set at Target and one lid was way too tight and has now split on the side. Won't be purchasing anything else from Oneida or Anchor Hocking if and when I ever receive this order. Will definitely stick to Pyrex products.

I purchased a 6-piece bowl set at my local Target store. I chose Anchor Hocking because it was made in the USA and Pyrex was not. I washed the bowls and lids (by hand) and a few days later decided to begin using them. First, in the small bowl, I put dry baking ingredients in. And when I tried to put the lid on, I found the lid did not fit the bowl. I said to myself, okay, that is not too bad; but I was disappointed. The evening before Christmas, I was cooking greens for the next day. When the greens were done cooking, I took the largest of the bowls, placed it on a doubled up dry dishtowel, placed it on the counter and poured my greens into it. I then placed lid in bowl. No problem with this lid.

I thought our experience was isolated until I saw a recent article this December 2012. Three years ago at Thanksgiving, my husband was removing our Ham from the oven when the Anchor Hocking 13" x 9" glass plan shattered in his hands. The ham, the glass and all the juices ended up all over the oven door and kitchen floor. Fortunately, my husband was not injured - his clothing protected him from the food and hot juices flying everywhere. It was a huge mess, and we determined not to use Anchor Hocking for cooking after that incident. I am posting this just to add our experience to the list of others with similar experiences, so that Anchor Hocking might take this problem more seriously.

I decided to replace all my plasticware storage with glass because it's healthier. Every single plastic top to my Anchor Hocking set has cracked and I've only had it a few months. I purchased Pyrex and their tops have held up. Choose Pyrex over Anchor Hocking. Also, after reading some of the other reviews, I will dispose of the glass bowls as well. I don't want to eat shards of glass either.

I was reading in my recliner at about 11:30PM on a Saturday night. I heard what sounded like shattering and falling glass in my kitchen. Initially, I thought someone had broken out the window above the sink. I could not find anything amiss until I reached into a cabinet to get out a plate and found shattered glass all over. This is a tall, glass-front cabinet with four shelves. On the third shelf, I had two identical Anchor Hocking round casseroles stacked together (but not nested), the same way they have been for a year. The top one exploded and sprayed glass throughout the shelves and even into a wooden salad bowl next to it. The bottom was cracked, the handles shattered, the rim broken off. The glass lid was fine and the casserole and lid below were fine.

Very upset - Just went to get the pork chops for dinner out of the oven; always baked at 350. Needless to say, I have a cut toe and hand, and my brand new oven and kitchen is full of small, less than dime-size pieces of glass. I called and left Anchor a message with no call back; not impressed.

I have a 2.75 qt. casserole with a plastic cover that I have loved because it is the perfect size, shape, and I can put the cover on and save the leftovers. I have only had this dish for three years. Last night, I made a casserole in it and baked as usual at a normal temp (350) for a normal period of time. To make a long story short, as I was enjoying the casserole for dinner, I bit down on something hard, a shard of glass that had broken off from the dish! I am lucky that I didn't bite down very hard or swallow it, because it was substantial enough to have caused damage if I had! Needless to say, I was horrified! I have never had this happen to a glass dish in my oven, and I have some dishes that are 30 years old!

I used to have a smaller Pyrex glass baking dish when I upgraded to my bigger 10x13 Anchor Hocking casserole dish. I have had it for about a year now. I cook chicken mostly every other day in it; I have never had a problem with any cracks or breaking. I am surprised to hear all these complaints. I am very happy with my dish specially love the larger handles. The only issue I have is trying to get the baked on juices off. I have soaked it in dawn water for two days, soaked it in just dawn for a day and still not much has come off. Please help. I don't want to have to replace this one for the same reason I replaced my Pyrex because I couldn't get the dish clean.

One of the oven dishes from my Anchor Hocking three-pack exploded in my oven. Sharp shards were everywhere - rendered dinner inedible. I emailed Anchor Hocking asking for a refund on my three-pack. I told them I had pictures of the dish laying in sharp shards all over my oven with the dinner I would not be able to serve sitting in the middle of it all. They said, "Unfortunately, without having the failed product, we are unable to determine the cause of the incident (pictures will not determine)." They then claimed their glassware was rigorously tested and "it will generally break into many smaller rounded pieces (some larger), which are less likely to cause serious injury. " That is not true!

Anchor casserole dish explodes in oven - I purchased the casserole dish on September 10th; and made lasagna on September 13th, tonight. When the timer went off, I opened the oven. Liquid and chunks were all over the bottom. I tried to lift the dish out and the handles were shattered as well as the whole dish. At this moment, we are waiting for it to cool to take it out of the oven. We do not have injuries, but when I went online to see if it had ever happened to anyone else, I was shocked to see so many complaints yet this item is still being sold. It is dangerous and should be pulled from the market. We tried to call the company but my guess is we will not hear back from them.

I have read some of the complaints about this product company and was surprised to see that I am not the only consumer that this has been happening to. But I must tell you, I did not have this bowl in the convection oven nor microwave, nor oven (even though they say safe for all the above). I was talking on the phone this morning and I heard a loud glass breakage. Even the person on the other line heard it. I thought my window had been broken by an intruder, but came to find out after a full day of trying to find the glass. I opened my shelf to get a bowl out and saw that my Anchor Hocking 4qt glass bowl was shattered into shrapnel. There was nothing even on top of this bowl. Very strange. This company has lost my confidence in them.

I was baking two chicken breasts at 425 for 40 minutes and went to check on the chicken with about 5 minutes left. I opened the oven and there was glass everywhere. The dish essentially exploded. The dish was room temperature when it was placed in the oven and the chicken was thawed. Very unsafe! I purchased the three-pack at Target and won't use the other two dishes for fear of the same thing happening!

I was baking two beautiful banana breads with new Anchor pans. The temp was not even very high, and the pans exploded! This is a liability, and you guys can get sued. OMG! Take these pans off the market before someone gets hurt!

I was baking brownies in an Anchor Hocking 8x8 dish at 325 degrees, and it exploded inside the oven after baking for 35 minutes. There were small and large shards of glass everywhere! They should take this product off the market!

I was baking cinnamon rolls for breakfast in a new 8 x 8 glass baking dish at 350 degrees. They had been in the oven for approximately 13 minutes when we heard a loud noise, and discovered the dish had exploded into hundreds of shards of glass and the contents all over the oven. It took all day to clean, my husband cut his fingers on glass and there is "stuff" all down inside the gas jets that we cannot get to. No way to clean. Am I going to end up having to buy a new stove?

I just read my same complaint from another review! I was cooking in a 400 degree oven and I pulled the glassware out of the oven, and set it on top of the stove (which was also warm) and it exploded all over my kitchen. It just snapped! Nothing cold touched it. It simply just exploded. It cut my feet, my legs, my hand and all the hot shards of glass laid on my linoleum floor and melted to it!

Red lid on one cup bowl melted. I placed beans in microwave with lid just placed on top, not sealed, cooked for 2 minutes and the margin of lid is now misshapen. I thought these were microwave safe. Very dissatisfied!

I was cooking breaded chicken in the oven (which I have before) with my Anchor Hocking 9x13 pan. It had been cooking at 450 degrees for about 25 minutes and was almost done when it exploded. It sounded like a bomb and scared me. It freaked out our young autistic son. It took hours to console him. I have had the pan for seven years and I loved it but I am afraid to use any of their products again. It was an awful experience and took hours to clean up. And our dinner was ruined. The glass had shot some of the shards up into the chicken. I am only grateful it blew up in the oven or it would have seriously hurt all of us! I have plenty of photos as well if they are needed.

I purchased two clear glass bread pans and have used them fewer than five times. There were no visible cracks in either of them. Imagine my surprise when one the the pans of pumpkin bread exploded about three minutes after I put it into a 350 degree oven! It was a mess to clean up and while I was doing that, a small piece of glass exploded again in a cool oven. I have older AH glassware that I have used for 35 years without any problems. What's up with this?

I was baking swordfish steaks for Easter dinner at 400F. I opened the oven, reached in with a mitten and began to lift out the 9 x 12 casserole dish when it exploded. The hot glass cut my hand. Most ended up in the oven, but numerous pieces landed on the linoleum floor leaving burn marks all over it. It took nearly two hours to clean up the mess. Thankfully, my 8-year old son was not standing close by for it would have hit him in the face. I will never buy Anchor Hocking products again.

I’m making an Easter morning breakfast for company coming over. The dish was at room temp, baked for 1 hour and set on top of the stove. I came home from church. The dish had shattered and there was glass all over the kitchen and inside my burners. There went my breakfast and faith in this company. I will never use any Anchor products I own again. It is very dangerous. Thank God, my children's dogs were not here yesterday morning as they are during the week.

I was remodeling my kitchen and hadn't had a home-cooked meal in a month. I made a shepherd pie in one of the anchor casserole dishes with my 3 kids. We had it ready to put in the oven and we all turned away for something and it just exploded into a million pieces. Thank goodness that we were not looking that way, we could have had glass in our eyes. Needless to say, before I left for work that night, all my food and hard work were left in shambles with my kids having to eat junk for supper. It is hard enough being without a kitchen forever and then to have that happen.

My husband was baking a chicken and pulled it out of the oven, everything was fine. Then he tried to put hot water in the baking dish and it exploded on the kitchen counter, sinks and floor. The damage was quite extensive. In 30+ years of baking and cooking, neither of us have ever had this happen. It was quite a cleanup and we had to call the apartment maintenance to come and take apart the disposal drain, as it was filled with glass. I got cut twice on my hand and my husband cut his foot. What has happened to this product to cause such chaos?

I was making apple crisp. All of the ingredients were room temperature. Nothing was cold. It was put in a 375 oven. Shortly after putting it in, a loud explosion came from the oven. I thought one of the racks was not in the right position, but that is highly not possible. When I looked in the oven, there were all of the apples, the sugar and other components everywhere. Plus, I might add that glass was everywhere. It took my husband and I about 2 1/2 hours to clean up this horrible mess, plus the glass went under the fixed oven part that contains the burner and such.

Today, 3/15/2012, my daughter was checking some chicken we were baking and when she opened the oven, the dish exploded into pieces. Praise the Lord, she didn't get hurt. I have two of the same dishes. I want my money back. They are the loaf glass dishes used for oven. I've used them before and this isn't the only time I've heard of this product doing this and will never buy again.

I purchased these for storage and microwaving. I do not us the plastic lids in cooking or in dishwasher—still, they are ripping apart. Therefore, they are not reliable for storage in fridge.

Oven Baking Dish: I was roasting a Cornish game hen in my oven on an Anchor 9 x 12 baking dish. I opened the oven and added more liquid. I heard a crinkling sound and then an explosion. The glass exploded into many small chunks and blew all over the kitchen and of course the oven is full of glass. The meal was ruined. I have several of these dishes, but I am afraid to use them after this mess.

I had a chicken breast baking in the dish at 375, and some broccoli roasting on a small sheet pan next to the chicken. I was in the next room, and heard a very loud noise. It scared me at first. I didn't know what it was. I opened the oven, and there were glass fragments everywhere in the broccoli, the chicken, and all over the bottom of the oven. Obviously, I did not eat my meal, and still have it in the oven, cooling, afraid of it shattering again into my face or eyes. I am annoyed! I see a lot of complaints about this all over the internet. Why has someone not removed these from the market, and recalled the rest. I have one more of this exact dish. I will be throwing it away.

I was making banana bread preheated the oven to 350. Thirty five minutes into baking, my glass bread pan burst sending glass all over the bottom of my oven and making my bread have a distorted shape. I was bringing it to a tea party.

The blue lids for the Anchor bowls are faulty. I have not used the bowl lids in the microwave, and I have only washed them by hand. It is advertised that I could do both. So far both lids for the 2.5 qt. bowls have cracked the very first time I used them. I e-mailed "Anchor" to advise them of the problem and they have not contacted me. I am trying to 'live green" by purchasing bowls with lids, but I am back to using Saran wrap to act as a cover for the bowl.

I was reheating leftovers and when I opened the microwave to remove my "microwavable" plate, the dish exploded. Thankfully my two children were nowhere around because glass went everywhere. I would like a refund but can't find any information on how to contact the manufacturer. Please give me some information.

I bought Anchor glass bowls with blue lids and the lids are all ripping and I have washed them by hand not in the dishwasher. I would like them replaced. Thank you.

My husband was heating leftovers in my Anchor Hocking Microwave safe bowl in the microwave. Two minutes into heating, the bowl exploded in my microwave. I am so glad that it didn't happen after he opened the door. My microwave is on eye-level! I want my money back! I don't want another bowl!

I cooked BBQ chicken in my 9x13 anchor bake dish. I took it out of the oven, set it on the table on pot holders as I have done before. We all four started eating, approximately 5 to 8 minutes later, the entire bake dish exploded on the table and I mean exploded. My first thought was the overhead light fell onto the table, however, it was the dish. We tried to salvage the meal that was left but glass was actually inside the chicken thighs, in the butter tub, in the potatoes all over the floor. I chewed on a piece of glass that was infused in the chicken, I thought it was clear but it wasn't. I guess I shouldn't have eaten anything else but we had dinner guests and tried to salvage the meal that my girlfriend worked 2 hours on.

I got a three piece glass casserole set for Christmas. As I opened the plastic on the three-piece set, the bottom dish, which was the biggest, shattered. I have sent an email before to the company to see what I could do about replacing the dish and there was no reply. I had ended up stepping on one of the pieces of shattered glass. It took me forever to get it all cleaned up.

I was heating up a Knorr Pasta Sides in my microwave in one of my Anchor Hocking mixing bowls (which I received as a gift from my mother last Christmas 2010). I started eating and I felt something hard go down the back of my throat, the next bite I bit into something crunchy. I examined my food to find a shard of glass about an inch long in my pasta. I threw the rest away and called my doctor.

I'm sending pics of exploding bakeware. My 2-year-old grandson had 2 pieces in his foot, because when we opened the oven door to check, it shot out near the broiler door. I have the bakeware frozen in the basement freezer if you would like proof.

The baking pan exploded while cooking dinner! It exploded after 15 minutes in the oven. After reading all the comments on here, they should all be recalled. I called Anchor Hocking and they want me to send the glass dish back so they can test it. Well, there is nothing left but small chips and they are going to replace the dish. I'm not sure if I'll use their dishes again to cook!

My husband was melting butter in our microwave in an Anchor Hocking 4-cup glass measuring cup. It is 11 years old, used many times. When opening the door of the microwave, the glass measuring cup exploded and butter and shards of glass were everywhere, even shooting across the kitchen. It was microwaved only 10-15 seconds on high temp.

We have an old pyrex bowl that I've used for thirty years. I just noticed a small chip from the side. I was heading to the recycling bin with it, and my husband grabbed it. "We can sand this and it will be as good as new!" says this normally smart man. He was not kidding and he agreed to abide by advice I find on the net, since I evidently have no credibility here.

I heated some chili in a glass Anchor Hocking dish in the microwave. About five to ten minutes after I took it out of the microwave, I had it in my hand and it exploded. Glass shards went everywhere--in my hair, down my back, all over my hard woods (leaving divots) all over the room. Luckily, I was looking up at the time or it would have exploded right in my face. I walked away with only a tiny cut on my finger. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The glass left divots in my hardwood floors but other than that, just a huge mess.

I bought a set of two Anchor Hocking 9x13 baking dishes about a year and a half ago. I was baking some flounder last night (12/28/2011) when one of the dishes exploded violently: I set both dishes out on the counter top from the cupboard and turned on the oven to start pre-heating it to 350 (F). The dishes were room temperature at the time. I sprayed both dishes with cooking spray and then put in a layer of fish from the refrigerator and topped the fish with spices and lemon juice. I then put the dishes on the middle rack of the oven, which read 325 degrees at the time. The dishes were side by side, not touching each other and not touching the sides, back, or door of the oven.

I was using my Anchor baking dish to cook my Christmas eve ham. When I took it out of the oven and set it on the stove the pan exploded, ruining my entire dinner because the charred glass went everywhere and I still had the oven door open. If I would have bent down to shut the door, it would have got me in the face. So needless to say, our holiday was ruined. I received this baking set as a gift last Christmas and loved it, but I think it’s time to throw the rest of the pans away to prevent a future accident. I’m surprised reading all the comments about this bake ware and its exploding. I think its time for a recall!

On 12/27/11, my wife took a 12"x 9" dish of meatloaf from our oven and set down to cool. After sitting in the open air for about 15 minutes, the dish exploded into a thousand pieces. Luckily, no one was hurt and just some food and time was lost. I'm concerned about the other Anchor items we have.

I preheated my 9x12 glass pan. Took it out of oven to put hot macrone (it was also cooked drained and hot). The pan blew up and out. Large pieces of glass on floor counters and top of stove. Part of small pieces of glass melted on rug in front of the sink. The oven was at 350.

I just discovered a second bowl that has exploded. This one contained coconut and don't think it had ever been used for cooking. It's never been a dishwasher. A couple months ago, I heard a loud bang in my kitchen then later found the biggest size of bowl (with lids) had shattered in the cupboard. I was sitting at the table at the time. I had no idea this could happen but this is scary now that I have read so many other accounts of these bowls exploding. This is so dangerous! I will be contacting the department store where I purchased them and let them know and will not be getting any others. Very, very scary.

I was making baked ziti. It was in the oven for approximately 40 minutes at 350 degrees when I heard a loud explosion in the kitchen. I opened the oven to find the Anchor Hocking bake ware exploded into hundreds of pieces. This baking dish has not been used more than ten times and had no chips or cracks. I took photos if needed. Thankfully, the explosion happened while the dish was still in the oven or I could have sustained severe burns from the sauce. My bake ware is destroyed and I will be throwing out all other Anchor Hocking products that I own. Cleaning the oven was a daunting task, taking over an hour to clean and ensure all the glass was gone. Now I am stuck going to Burger King for dinner tonight.

I was fixing chicken and took it out. I sat it on the counter and it exploded everywhere, come a hair hitting me in the eye. I will never buy or use your bake ware or anything you make ever again. You need to make it right and send me my money back for what I was out.

I received large set of cookware (2 large oblong casserole dishes, 3 small bowls with plastic lids). I received this as a wedding gift about 3 weeks ago. The largest of the two casserole dishes was chipped off on the side, as well as one of the small bowls with lid.

I was baking chicken in the Anchor glass baking pan for my husband. The temperature was on 375. While in the kitchen with my 5-month and year old, I heard an explosion in the oven. It cracked open the oven and glass came tumbling out. There is a big mess all over the kitchen—glass in the oven and all over the floor.

I had made a potato and ham casserole as a surprise for my husband. I put the anchor hocking glass baking dish in the oven at 375 degrees, set my timer for 30 minutes, turned and started to prepare a salad. Then an explosion in my oven. The baking dish had exploded and I had a mess to clean up. I am sick. I had just paid $27.38 for the ingredients needed to prepare this meal. I took my time to make sure it was just perfect and bang, everything is gone. I hate the thought of McDonald's for dinner tonight. My experience rate really is "0" unless "5" stars are the pits.

I baked a casserole in a 11x13 Anchor ovenware dish last night for 1 hour at 350 degrees. I took the dish out of the oven, and put it on top of the stove with no burners on, and it blew up everywhere, and it barely missed my face! I will never use these dishes again. I am throwing them all out! It was a very large mess to clean up, with glass slivers everywhere! I was very disappointed with the product! I sent the company an email, but I never heard back from them today!

I purchased an Anchor Hocking 8x8 IR 9x9 square pan at Wal-Mart over a year ago. I have used it quite a few times. This evening after dinner, I was making a dessert. After mixing the ingredients and putting them in the pan, I put it in the oven at 400 degrees. I was to cook it for 20 minutes. After about 15 minutes, we heard an explosion in the oven and went to look.

This is my second cooking platter that has broken in less than a year and I had to throw my food away. I think this time I would like some other kind of cooking platter replacement or a refund.

I purchased a 13x9 (I think) Pyrex pan. I can't check the size because it is in a million pieces and is now all over my kitchen. I purchased Anchor Hocking because I heard about Pyrex shattering. I was cooking baked chicken in the pan at 350 degrees; when it was finished, I took the pan out of the oven and set it on the counter. The pan burst and shattered, sending glass and hot food everywhere.

I bought an 11" x 15" Anchor baking dish today--along with two organic chickens, onions, etc. I baked chickens uncovered at 325 degrees for three hours. Just before I pulled out the dish, it exploded in the oven. Broth and glass went everywhere. I feel very blessed that we were not injured as some have been. It will be costly, but I am throwing out all glass cookware I have and replacing them with metal.

Wow, I thought I was the only one this happened to. I was making pumpkin bread in mine about a year ago. I baked the bread at 300 degrees and took it out of the oven and set it on a wire cooling rack. Thankfully, the kids and I had left the kitchen. We heard a large crack sound and went in to find glass shattered everywhere. I was finding glass everywhere for months. I talked to a friend and they said the same thing. I have been afraid to use any of my other Anchor Hocking cookware in the oven or freezer. I had a freezer safe dish crack in the freezer also.

I bought the 16-piece Linden glassware set. Over the course of about three months, they all started breaking from even the lightest touch. One day, as I was hand washing one of the tall glasses, the cup broke and cut me so badly I had to go to the ER and could not work for one day. Never buy from this company.

We bought a brand new Anchor baking dish and a cake. We followed all instructions and baked at the right temperature. When my wife took the dish out of the oven and set it on a potholder on top of the stove, the dish exploded like a grenade sending glass in her face and hair. We picked up pieces of glass as far as 11 feet away from the explosion. She didn't drop the dish, it simply exploded. I saved the dish because I feel I was ripped off and hopefully it can be inspected to prevent future explosions. We are out the price of the dish and our daughter's birthday cake. Other than that, we were just inconvenienced. Lucky that my wife was not seriously injured since the glass hit her face.

I bought a 16 piece glass set. They weren't even 6 months old. I have only had them about for 3 month. I was washing a glass and it broke when I was washing it. I was unaware that it broke. There was blood in the water. I lift up my hand with the glass in it, and saw it broke. My hand was very badly cut, with blood pouring out. Not good.

On May 20, 2011, I purchased two piece oven basics Value Pack set (item # 82761) from Blain's Farm and Fleet. With summer on the way and no immediate baking plans in the works, I just put it away on a wooden shelf in my pantry for future use. Yesterday, October 31, 2011, I planned to use them for the first time. I was shocked to see the large dish sitting on the shelf, untouched, still covered in its original shrink wrap, and it was shattered in a 1,000 pieces (like a shattered automobile tempered glass window)! I am a retired instrument maker from the Department of Energy and have extensive knowledge of material science and thermal expansion of types of liquid and solids. This has me completely baffled. The temperature in my pantry may at most varied from 70 to 90 degree F this summer. Could it be a material composition defect?

I was very happy with my baking dish until I opened my oven door to check to see if my pumpkin was done and saw that the dish had blown up. Good thing I didn't have the door open all the way or it would have ended up in my face.

We were ready to sit down for our dinner of corn beef and cabbage that had cooked all day. The table had the corn beef, garlic bread, horse radish, butter, the dishes, napkins, all the fixings except the baked acorn squash. The girls took out the anchor hocking dish with the squash and set it on the stove top, then proceeded to put the dish on the table on some holders to protect the table top.

My Anchor Hocking glass loaf pan exploded in my kitchen, sending chunks and very sharp sherds of glass all over the kitchen. My banana nut bread was ruined as was the other loaf that I was baking. There was a glass 15 feet from where the pan was cooling. It was a pretty big blast. It ruined my baking, wasted the ingredients and made me very wary of glass which I have used for years. I'm still finding pieces of glass of all sizes. This was a fairly new pan. If I had been anywhere near, or my dog or kid had, they could have lost their eyes or been severely injured. This wasn't a little pop, it was literally a blast. I'm stunned that this could happen. I'm telling you this because this is a safety issue. I still have the pieces if you want them. I offered them to Anchor Hocking.

I was baking a Homestyle Bakes that was about 15 minutes into baking and the 8x11 casserole pan shattered in the oven. This pan was used last week for lasagna and had no defects. This was bought in a two pack with a 9x12 pan at a local Kroger two months ago.

Our large, blue glass Anchor Hocking pan exploded in the oven while baking an acorn squash. The oven was at 350 degrees. The meal was ruined and there was shattered glass inside my oven.

I purchased a set of Anchor glass bakeware. The second time I used one of them, it exploded not once, but twice. The first time, I raced to the oven and opened it to see what happened and it exploded again sending glass out of the oven itself. I was only cooking a half pan of potatoes at 350 degrees. Going to their website to get the contact info, one of their FAQ's is "Why did my glassware explode?" If this is a known problem, why are they allowed to continue selling them? I could have been seriously injured!

I was cooking chicken in the dish at 375 degrees. When I took the dish out and set it on a pot holder, the glass made a big popping sound and exploded all over! Someone could have been seriously hurt! I think that someone needs to be investigating this, and I would like to be refunded for the glass wear.

Last year 2010, I had baked a meat loaf in a 13x9 Anchor Hocking dish. The oven was 350 degrees, and I had cooked the meatloaf for about half an hour. Then I heard something explode in the oven. I opened the oven, and there was a big mess; glass debris was everywhere, and it had ruined our supper. Then recently, on Monday of September 26, 2011, I had baked some cheesy potatoes in the oven, in a 8x8 square Anchor dish. The oven was 350 degrees. I had cooked it for about less than an hour and all of a sudden I heard a loud boom in the oven. I opened the oven, and there was a huge mess. Glass debris was found everywhere, and it ruined my supper. I am unemployed with money, and I want to know, if I can get a refund for it. I do have a receipt for the one fifteen pieces bake ware set, which was back in December 19, 2009. The other anchor bake ware set was a Christmas gift last year, December 25, 2010. I want to know what could be done about this.

I had my empty pan in my oven when I realized that I had turned the oven on to preheat and it was in there. I opened the oven to take the pan out and sat it on top of my stove when it blew up all over the kitchen and into the living room. It was a good thing that I had turned to walk to the other side of the kitchen.

I was cooking a birthday cake for my six year old. I was absolutely shocked when my Anchor Hocking glass baking dish exploded as soon as I removed it from the oven. Shards of glass went everywhere, ruining the cake and cupcakes that were on the counter and causing a huge and dangerous mess in my sink, my counters, and on the floors. My poor dogs heard me scream and came running into the kitchen. I'm waiting to see if their feet will bleed. I will never use Anchor Hocking again, and in fact, I am throwing out all of my Anchor Hocking and replacing them with Metal Bakeware. Be aware!

I was broiling fish in the oven for supper. I heard a crack from the oven and when I opened the door, I found the Anchor Hocking pan had split into three pieces. I've never heard of this happening to anyone until I went online and found this site.

I was baking vegetables in a blue glass Anchor Hocking lasagna style baking dish. The oven was at 450 degrees and the food had been cooking for about 20 minutes when we heard a loud boom from the oven and found that the baking dish had shattered completely while inside the oven. Some pieces were very sharp and the entire dish blew into a million pieces and tiny fragments.

Consumers need to be aware that their glass baking pans do explode. I was using an 8 x 8 pan to bake brownies. I took it out of the oven to check and see if the brownies were done by placing it on my stovetop, which had not been used. I determined by using a toothpick that the brownies needed a few more minutes to cook and immediately placed them back into the oven. Approximately 3 minutes later, the pan had exploded inside the oven. The glass was shattered in a thousand sharp pieces and my oven was a mess. Thankfully neither I, nor any family members were injured. I will never use an Anchor glass pan again, it was terrifying! Someone is going to be seriously injured or blinded from these pans.

Me, Amanda **, and Matthew ** were cooking chicken pot pies in a glass anchor cooking ware. We were cooking them for my son, nieces and nephews. When we pulled out the glass cooking pan and put it on our safe stove top, the anchor cooking pan exploded when we put it down. The glass flew everywhere. I got some glass in my foot but thank God, no one was seriously injured and the children were in the living room. These glass pans from anchor cookware are not safe.

I was baking pork chops in my oven. My husband opened the door to check on the chops when the baking pan exploded in his face. Glass flew through out my kitchen, into his face, stomach, leg and a shard of glass scratched his eye.

I bought a measuring cup and have only used it 7 or 8 times. I was sitting on the couch eating mashed potatoes out of it (just because I wanted to) and I noticed my jeans had turned bright red. I thought I was bleeding.
