Pyrex Reviews

My husband took the baking dish with our hamburgers out of the 375 degree oven to flip them over after eight minutes (burgers were room temperature, as was pan when we put it in the oven); as he was removing the pan from the oven, it exploded while he was holding the pan. He had not even got it fully out of the way of the oven door when we heard the very loud pop and it exploded around him. Thankfully, nothing exploded up into his eyes or face ~ hot grease and searing hot glass is not a recommended facial product. We are not throwing out anything Pyrex. Measuring cups, baking dishes. Pyrex is banned in our house as far as we are concerned. Him or our cats could have been seriously hurt from flying grease and hot glass.

This is the second time Pyrex has shattered, once the pan was just sitting in the cupboard, I went to reach for it and it was completely shattered. Today I took out a cherry dessert out of the refrigerator and went to cut a piece and the whole thing exploded all over my counter, floor everywhere small shards of glass, thank God it didn’t go into my eyes or face. Please everyone get rid of it before someone is seriously injured.

I had 2 Pyrex dishes in the oven. I removed one and placed it on the stove then removed the other as I reached over to turn off the oven. There was a loud pop. Both dishes shattered hundred taking 2 day to find and clean all up from under stove between cabinets.

Dish exploded shortly after taking out of the oven and sitting on the counter. Glass flew all over the kitchen along with the food. I have other Pyrex containers that I am afraid to use. Dish was recently purchased. Had only been used a few times. I had just turned my back when it exploded or otherwise I would have a face full of glass.

My husband was making a tenderloin in the oven. Close to the time we were hoping to eat, there was a loud noise. Found out when he opened the oven that the Pyrex dish had exploded. Shards and small pieces of glass were all over the bottom of the oven. This was an older dish, thought that might have been the issue. Had to throw away an extremely large part of the tenderloin. Very disappointing. Will toss the rest of my Pyrex and use metal from now on. Would hate to have someone hurt by this. I asked the husband what the oven temperature was, he said 450. This is listed online as supposed to be okay. Obviously not!!!

I was hand washing the measuring cup in warm water after mixing something in it. It just exploded, cutting me in several places. I had not put it in the microwave or oven so not thermal shock. Item less than 6 months old.

This product needs to be banned. If the knee wall had not been there I would have been possibly killed. Got cuts in neck and arm and cleaning up one shard so sharp penetrated my shoe and got an infection from it. I have baked in Pyrex for years and never had an incident such as this. Bought this pie plate one year ago from Amazon. When I was defrauded of my home I lost my long-standing collection of Pyrex cookware and this was a replacement. I did not realize that the formulation had changed. All of it is going out in the trash. Broken up so no one retrieves it and it can't harm anyone else.

A Pyrex Bowl sitting upon a metal wire shelf in my kitchen just spontaneously exploded! I thought, “No way! How did this happen?” It fractured. Into hundreds upon hundreds of miniature pieces. This is not the usual breakage pattern customarily found in broken glass. It simply burst apart. How bizarre! The bowl had even been used. The air temperature in the kitchen was rising because the oven was on. I’m not sure if if cooler air passed across the exploding vessel, but it simply disintegrated. Very weird.

I had chicken baking in the oven in two Pyrex dishes. Both had some broth in the bottom of them. I opened the oven door to check on them and as soon as I did one of my dishes exploded violently resulting in glass in my oven and all over my kitchen. By the grace of God it did not hit me in the face, nor was anyone else in the kitchen.

Placed the Pyrex baking pan of apple slices on my dryer to cool. Within a couple of minutes later I heard a large explosion resulting in glass shattered everywhere. I thought I had done something wrong but now that I hear the consumer reports it concerns me. I am very disappointed in Pyrex. They should make this right. They're denying the fact this is happening because they're using a cheaper material. I have four grandchildren that were here at the time and they could have been seriously injured.

I thought it was me, maybe I had the dish in the oven too long. The first time I cooked cornbread sat the glass on the counter and got ready to taste the cornbread and started hearing a crackling noise - basically shattered from the bottom to the top. The second time I made some Lasagna and soon as I picked up the glass sat it on the metal part of the sink cause it was so hot it broke all in the sink & my food was everywhere. Then I thought maybe this was not to be used in the oven cause it was the second time!

I had two Pyrex dishes explode in one night. I have never experienced this before. I took the first one out of the oven and put it on the flat surface area that was room temperature and it immediately shattered throwing shards of glass and small pieces into the air onto the counter and onto the floor. I took the second one out which was a meatloaf type pan and put it on a towel first thinking that maybe the counter surface was too cold. I then realized it’s probably too hot to leave on a towel, so because it had not exploded yet, I rested it on the counter and about a minute later it exploded throwing shards of glass into the sink and on the floor and several feet from where it had exploded.

Happened today. Didn't know where else to post this to help others make an informed decision. I washed the dish before I left for work and placed it on my stovetop to dry. The dish, stove, weather, everything was normal temperature wise for the island of Trinidad, in the Caribbean (30°c). When I came home about 6 hours later, the dish was lying broken in sharp pieces and shards, some were very small and almost all very sharp. They were strewn approximately up to 15 feet away on the floor. The dish was marked "pyrex" in common letters, and said "Made in USA". It was part of a 2 piece set with plastic covers.

I have always used Pyrex but not anymore. I purchased this casserole bakeware in 2017. This morning one of my Pyrex casserole dishes exploded. It was clean, laying flat on my counter. It was room temperature for at least 24 hours. The explosion was rather large as glass went everywhere including in my garbage disposal. I'm throwing All of my Pyrex away. I had no idea this was an issue until it happened to me. Pyrex should have a recall due to potential danger to consumers.

I have had two negative experiences with my Pyrex casserole pans. The first pan a few years ago spontaneously exploded in the oven. It sounded like a bomb went off in our kitchen. The only damage done was a ruined dinner, a dirty oven that had to be cleaned and a lot of broken glass. My second experience was a bit more serious. I had left my largest Pyrex casserole pan out on the countertop to dry after being hand washed.

Wife was removing a Pyrex brand baking dish from oven after cook time had completed. Upon placing dish on cork pads atop counter before she was able to release her grip on the dish it exploded in her hands cutting her on the wrist, chin and under her eye.

My husband was making squash in the oven (simply roasting it at 400 degrees with a little water). Half-way through it exploded. What a mess and expense. This is the second Pyrex dish to explode. I've thrown all other Pyrex products away and invested in Le Creuset.

I purchased several Pyrex brand bakeware and storage containers in August 2018. A few months later (last week - November 2018), I hand-washed my 9x13 inch Pyrex baking dish and left it to air dry on the countertop throughout the day. That evening, I pre-heated my oven to 425*, put a casserole in the room-temperature dish, placed it in the oven, and about 15 minutes later, the dish exploded all over my oven -- ruining my casserole and causing a huge mess. To be clear, this was not just a crack in the glass. The noise was very loud, and what I opened the oven to see was probably hundreds or thousands of small bits of glass in every corner of the oven.

We were making cheesy scalloped potatoes in our casserole pan. The pan has always been handled gently and used according to the manufacturer's instructions. This was not a case of thermal shock; the pan was room-temperature and the oven was pre-heated. About 15 minutes after we put the food into the oven, we heard a loud BANG from the kitchen. The pan had exploded. We rushed to turn off the oven, turn on fans, open doors and windows. We had to wait for the oven to cool before we could start cleaning.

I was roasting eggplant at 400 degrees. I cut up four vegetables to saute with the eggplant. I took the eggplant out of the oven, and placed the Pyrex roasting pan on a section of my cutting board, because I had run out of counter space. The pan exploded violently, and covered my floor and all the vegetables with shards of glass. It also ruined the cutting board, which split. I ate a bowl of onions and rice that were already on the stovetop, and then felt something sharp in my mouth. Now I am worried that I could have ingested glass. I will never buy Pyrex again.

I was making Greek lemon chicken & potatoes, which had been in the oven at 425° for 30 minutes. I pulled the dish out of the oven & put it on the granite countertop to remove the chicken, was about to place it back into the oven to brown the potatoes, when it EXPLODED violently!!! Glass literally everywhere, so scary!!! It even hit me in the chest/torso but I was thankfully wearing a hoodie so no injuries to myself. However, my fiancé came running into the kitchen when he heard the boom and cut his foot on some of the glass!! A truly awful experience. I will never use any glass bakeware again, and certainly not Pyrex.

I put a large, room-temperature baking dish into a preheated 450-degree oven with a chicken in it. 20 minutes later I opened the oven to check on the chicken. The dish exploded and left glass and hot chicken juice all over. I had this baking dish over 10 years and had used it weekly for the same task with no issue. Very disappointed and now worried about my other Pyrex dishes.

I was cooking stuffed mushrooms on a pie plate at 405F. I had preheated the oven and the mushrooms were cooking about 15 minutes before I heard a loud bang and glass breaking. The pie plate had broken in the oven. I have used this plate many times for about the last 10 years.

I have been using Pyrex cookware for years, and I have had this glass pie dish for many years as well. I was baking fish at 425 degrees with a sauce made of Rotel tomatoes and peppers. It had been in the oven about 20 minutes. I opened the oven door to check on the food, took out the separate baking pan of potatoes and closed the oven door when I heard what sounded like a bunch of metal crashing. I looked in the oven and the Pyrex dish had exploded and glass was all over the oven. We had to let the oven cool, shovel out the glass with a spatula, vacuum it out, then scrub the entire oven. I guess I'm lucky I took the potatoes out and not the fish in the Pyrex, because it would have exploded in my hands. I'm not using Pyrex in the oven anymore!

We were finishing off some chicken enchiladas in the oven, using a Pyrex baking dish, something we've done dozens and dozens of times. I heard a sound like cookie sheet falling somewhere, but couldn't see that anything had happened. When I opened the oven door to take out the enchiladas, the glass baking dish had shattered. I had never heard of such a thing happening, but now I see it's by no means uncommon. We had not in any way misused the dish. It had been in the oven at 350 for ten minutes when it shattered/exploded. Conclusion? No more pyrex dishes in the oven. Nothing but metal from now on.

Tonight we heard an explosion in our oven and opened the door to find the baking dish shattered in a million pieces. The dish was at room temp and the fish was just out of the refrigerator when it went into the oven at 375 degrees.

My dinner was cooking in a Pyrex glassware and it exploded in my face. Luckily I was ok but my oven is destroyed and glass is all over the kitchen. Luckily no huge fire but it's very dangerous. Needs to be recalled asap.

I had a glass pyrex bowl with lid that I loved and used frequently for storage in the refrigerator. This past week I was washing dishes and put the bowl (at room temperature, it had been emptied hours earlier) in my dishwater. As I was washing another dish, the Pyrex bowl shattered into hundreds of pieces in my dishwater!! I received a few small cuts, but it could have been a lot worse! I grew up believing Pyrex was the best, so this came as a shock... Came online looking for a warranty and found that I am not alone in having exploding Pyrex. So disappointing! I have the bowl in another container should Pyrex question my veracity.

I have had 2 glass 13 x 9 pans explode in the oven. I always have loved Pyrex but now I refuse to buy any more of them or Pyrex of any kind, I stick to metal. One pan had a beautiful roast with potatoes and vegetables. The other had chicken enchiladas, both these pans exploded and of course I had to toss the food out. Very disappointed in Pyrex, no more for me!!!

I have just read a ConsumerAffairs.com report about exploding Pyrex dishes and wish to share my experience. I was shocked at what I read in the report. At our wedding in 1959 in England we received a gift of Pyrex crockery. Sometime in the 1960s, now in Australia, I washed up the dinner plates in hot water and placed them on the kitchen worktop. After a few minutes there was a loud bang and the top plate exploded into numerous large shards, which remained on the top of the pile of plates in the shape of the plate. No damage was caused. I looked at the other plates and saw a lot of stress marks towards the centre of the plates. Pyrex replaced the plate without any question. We continued using the plates for some years without further incident.

My large Pyrex bowl shattered at room temperature last night as I was having a dinner party. It contained a large salad. No heat source anywhere near it. And it broke not once, but twice, and in mostly large shards. Luckily most of it was contained on the counter, but there were small slivers of glass on the floor, which my baby granddaughter had just been crawling on. This is disconcerting.

I bought three of these dishes in mid December 2017, to use for entertaining my family over the holidays. The second time I used my new Pyrex dish was to reheat our regular sweet corn casserole the day after Christmas. I reheated it as normal and laid it gently on my stove top. Within moments, the dish literally exploded all over my kitchen. I was injured, but thankfully, not badly. Needless to say the dish could not be eaten and I have been afraid to use the additional two dishes I purchased since.

I purchased a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup from Target. After only about a month, I dropped it on my laminate kitchen counter, and the handle cracked and chipped. I purchased another of the exact item to replace a few days ago. Brand new and never used, I put it in the dishwasher, top rack, to clean. When I opened the dishwasher the next day, I discovered the measuring cup had shattered, and there were glass shards all over the inside of the dishwasher, other dishes, and silverware. Huge headache to clean up. This product is supposed to be dishwasher safe. From my experience, this product poses a safety hazard.

After my previous review detailing my Pyrex glassware exploding in the oven, I contacted the company and was really impressed with the customer service I received. A representative took a detailed report of my incident and informed me that in the future, I should not cook meat in the pan without enough liquid to cover the bottom of the pan. Since I didn't want to cook with liquid, she said I should be using stoneware, and they offered to send me a free stoneware pan with lid and several other items as well. I was swearing off Pyrex before, but I'm glad I called and will be happy to purchase from them in the future (just being more careful about using the glass pans).

Made Cinnamon rolls xmas morning, set them on counter to cool off and left room. Heard a loud bang like someone had dropped about 10 plates on the floor. Discovered Pyrex rectangular baking pan had exploded, sending glass all over the kitchen and counters. Just an amazingly unexpected thing to happen, as everything was normal otherwise. No cracks, discoloring or anything in glass to hint at its potential for lethality. Had to throw the rolls away and clean and vacuum and clean again, still got cut from invisible shards everywhere! Wonder how things would have turned out standing next to it or dogs under counter where they usually are. Had my dogs been injured, I would have been really angry.

My wife was cooking supper and inadvertently put a rectangular Pyrex baking dish on a hot red stove burner. Suddenly, we heard a loud noise as the Pyrex bakeware exploded in all directions. Glass flew up and out across the kitchen up to 6 feet away. Shards of glass from very minuscule (size of grain of sand) and up to 2 inches x 1 inch were scattered all over the kitchen floor. Additionally, the glass was still so very hot that it created a variety of burn marks (of varying sizes and depth) as far as 6 feet away on the linoleum flooring which will need to be replaced. Hope this helps people realize the potential hazard and use of Pyrex glass bakeware. Use with great care and risk!

On Sunday morning, November 12th, We were baking biscuits in our oven. We were using a new dish from Pyrex, it was a casserole dish with blue swirls on it, we recently purchased it and had probably used it a handful of times. When the biscuits had finished baking, they were placed on the stovetop to cool down, as we always do. I was standing in front of the Oven when Suddenly the dish exploded, small and large shards of glass flew through the air with extreme force, covering the entire kitchen. I was in shock and my ears were ringing, I looked down because my foot felt strange and noticed it was covered in blood. I almost passed out, my husband carried me to a chair and ran to get a guest aid kit.

I had company over to the house for a lasagna dinner and after spending a lot of money on the ingredients and cooking in the oven for almost 1 hour, the attached pictures show the end results. I had just taken it out of the oven, turned around for a quick second (thankfully) and the 8 1/2 x 14 Pyrex dish shattered all over my kitchen. I have never experienced this before and it was not an experience I want to relive. The glass went everywhere and needless to say all of the food was ruined. Pizza was ordered and I swore off ever owning Pyrex brand products again.

Pyrex Easy Grab 8-Piece Glass Bakeware and Food Storage Set - I was baking yams in the largest pan. After I took the pan out of the oven and set it on top of the oven, it exploded. Shards of glass scattered all over the kitchen, as far as seven feet away. I am very lucky that I wasn't hurt and especially lucky that a shard of glass didn't end up in my eye! Unacceptable!

Until this happened to me yesterday, I'd never heard of the Exploding Pyrex issue. I made a batch of mac-n-cheese on the stovetop, then wanted to bake it at 350 for about 20 minutes to finish it off. The Pyrex pan I used was fairly new, maybe a few years old. I've hardly used it, as I don't make many casseroles that need to be baked in the oven. I put the mac-n-cheese in the pan and set it on the oven rack. No more than five minutes later, there was a tremendous boom from the oven, which was the pan exploding into hundreds of tiny pieces.

I was badly burned using a Pyrex dish in my microwave. This is NOT MICROWAVE SAFE, like it indicates on the bottom of this dish. Pyrex is no longer be a TRUSTED NAME. This is the second MISHAP using Pyrex. The first MISHAP happened right after washing another Pyrex dish, I was towel drying it and it SHATTERED right in my hands! You must recall all your products before a HORRIFIC accident happens.

My uncle was baking a cobbler at 350 degrees in a Pyrex dish purchased at Walmart. When it was ready to come out, it looked beautiful; a light golden brown. He gently slid the cobbler onto a dry kitchen surface when it suddenly exploded!! Not cracked... Exploded!!! Glass shattered everywhere; all throughout the kitchen and living room. He barely turned his head in time or glass could have been in his eyes; my uncle looked down. His feet and legs had glass shards in them; bleeding everywhere. Cobbler was leaking boiling hot sauce all over us as we attempted to clean. This was a week ago. After an hour or more clean up and thrown away cobbler, we are still stepping on small pieces of glass in the kitchen and living room. Looked online and noticed this is happening to a lot of people. Snopes said it was a "rumor"; that it doesn't explode. Ha! They don't know what they're talking about. It exploded.

I used my Pyrex 2 cup measuring cup yesterday evening to measure room temperature ingredients. I washed the cup in warm water and set it on a paper towel on my countertop to dry. Sometime during the night, the cup spontaneously shattered. While most of the glass remained where it shattered, small glass shards were dispersed onto the floor and across the counter. Scary, especially as this event did not involve any kind of rapid temperature change.

Our family's 9x13 Pyrex casserole dish exploded loudly while in the oven cooking chicken at 425. Glass shards went everywhere and the RV we live in was full of smoke. The explosion was very loud and frightening. I cut myself 4 times cleaning up the entire mess. No dinner for us now! I am angry!

Shattered Macaroni. It's a horrible shame how my family had to sit through an explosion of glass shattering in my oven. My poor dog barked hysterically, and all I could do was turn the oven off until the popping stopped.

I was cooking a ham in my Pyrex baking dish and it exploded when I had pulled the rack out to move the ham slices around. I picked the big pieces up and put them on a pizza pan that I had sitting out and left it on the oven door to cool off. 5-10 minutes later it exploded again. This time the handle exploded into tiny pieces. When I had called to make a complaint the lady told me there needs to be water or some kind of liquid in the bottom of the pan so the heat is even throughout the pan??? Whatever you say lady! If that's the case why would the handle explode? So the rest of the pan that is dry with no liquid or food touching it is not safe?! Seems like they have a list of excuses ready for the people that call in. My husband also got cut up cleaning up the mess this caused. After reading all the reviews I'm surprised that there hasn't been a class action lawsuit yet!

Bought small glass Pyrex bowls with dark blue lids to store canned cat food; for refrigerator use only. Took one out the other night and went to scoop contents into cats bowl when it EXPLODED into many, many pieces. I was cut on two of my fingers and heel of my foot by when I stepped back to make sure cat did not get hurt. OMG... I have read many complaints of explosion with temp. changes but this occurred without that. PLEASE be careful people!!! NO MORE PYREX FOR ME, cannot take the risk of major injury. Awful.

My large size glass Pyrex measuring cup (64 oz. size) exploded yesterday while preparing a Labor Day side dish. I placed a stick of butter into the glass Pyrex measuring cup and heated it in the microwave for 40 seconds. I removed it from the microwave and as I turned around while holding it at waist level and headed toward the kitchen table, the Pyrex exploded in my hand. The glass handle was still in my hand, but the rest of this large size glass measuring cup was in shards all over the floor in the kitchen and even reached through the doorway to the living room on the carpet.

My wife was cooking breakfast this morning and put bacon in a Pyrex baking dish and put it in the oven. The oven temperature was set at 425F which should not be an issue for what Pyrex claims their products can withstand. After 20 minutes of the Pyrex being in the oven my wife pulled it out and put it on the stove. The burner did happen to be on medium from her previously cooking on it. I walked into the kitchen approximately 5 mins after she had placed the Pyrex on the stove top and happen to be standing right next to the Pyrex baking dish as it exploded.

I purchased two Pyrex baking dishes about 3 months ago from Wal-Mart. I've used the dishes several times; however, when using one of the dishes today, 8/27/2017, it exploded in the oven! I was baking chicken at 350 degrees, and it had been in the oven for about 20 minutes when it suddenly exploded! There were no cracks in the dish, there were no sudden temperature changes, etc. So I have no idea of why this happened. We now have glass not only in our food, but also all over the oven.

Bought a new box of Pyrex dishes. Was giving them an initial rinse in soapy water, however 2 pieces were stuck together. I attempted to pull them apart only to have them explode slicing a huge chunk out of the tip of my thumb! I was lucky this happened in my sink under water so I did not have pieces shoot up at me. I instantly grabbed a dish towel to attempt to clot the bleeding. I did not realize this was a thing until I told a co-worker about it the next day! To say the least I did return these and will never purchase another Pyrex. I cannot trust them now knowing how lucky I was I did not get more cuts!

I emailed Pyrex about my problem. World Kitchen Consumer Care Center handled my complaint. I received $80.00 in merchandise from them. I was able to choose CorningWare Bakeware instead of Pyrex. I am very satisfied.

I was baking a casserole like I have done many times before. Minutes into my stove it started smoking. Opened my oven and my Pyrex baking dish had exploded!!! What a mess I have to clean up!!! Is there any compensation?

I put cinnamon rolls into the oven this morning; placed them in a glass Pyrex baking dish. I took the dish out of the oven and went to place it down and it exploded everywhere. I had glass all over the floor and stovetop. I couldn't move because I was in my bare feet. My 7 year old grand-daughter handed me the broom so I could sweep enough of the glass up to get myself out of the shattered glass. I had blood dripping onto the floor from cuts on my legs and feet. Needless to say, my grand-daughter did not get her cinnamon rolls for breakfast. I'm glad she was not standing there because she may have had cuts to her face or worse. I have never seen something like this happen. Yes, Pyrex, it DOES happen!

My daughter was making dinner in a Pyrex dish. The stove was preheated at 350. About 10 mins later my daughter and granddaughter were standing when all of a sudden it exploded in the oven broke the glass on the inside of the oven. I have used Pyrex for years so I thought it was the stove but I just bought it 2/27/16 so I called CPSR. THEY TOOK THE REPORT SO I CALL BACK AND TELL GE about the situation. They told me to look into the Pyrex so I did. I couldn't believe what I was reading. Someone could be seriously hurt. Thank God my family was not hurt. This occurred on 6/18/17.

9x13 bakeware - I truly love my cookware. I use Pyrex all the time. I LOVE IT, for my egg bake so I made a egg bake at 350 degrees. Baked for 40 minutes. Took out of oven and set on a bread board and it exploded. HOW can I be compensated for this?

I was emptying the dishwasher. I put the square Pyrex baking dish on the top of the stove. There was a pot of water boiling on the other side of the stove. The Pyrex exploded into projectiles of shards that burned the kitchen linoleum and carpet 10 feet away from the oven. Fortunately neither my dog or myself were injured physically. I am attaching a response letter from the manufacturer outlining what they consider care that makes this baking product virtually impossible to use under normal conditions. Yes, we all know glass breaks. Pyrex however explodes. Big difference.

As we were cooking this evening, the Pyrex casserole dish I have had for several years exploded. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. I did have several glass shards cut my legs. The entire dish exploded all over the kitchen and went everyone. We spent about 45 mins cleaning up the mess. I didn't know about the exploding Pyrex issue until I called my dad and he mentioned it and said I should google it. After seeing 1000's of other complaints I decided to write a review in hopes of helping someone else avoid this same disaster. I am still shaken up about it and so is my significant other. Neither of us knew about the potential for Pyrex exploding and I am disappointed there is not further resolution on this issue. I do not have a receipt to attach as I have used it for several years and did not save the receipt. I am very disappointed in this product.

While cooking a roast in my oven at 400 Degrees in my 13 x 9 Amber Pyrex dish, it exploded as I was removing it from the oven. Needless to say, glass went everywhere in the kitchen and oven, and luckily I had very thick oven mitts on! I've used Pyrex dishes for many years and never had any issues with them. I thought this was probably just an anomaly, until I Googled the product and found that there appears to be many users of the product which have had the same experience!

I placed a room temperature Pyrex 13X9 baking dish into a pre-heated oven. About 15 minutes into baking I discovered the glass had shattered, leaving shards and burning food throughout the entire oven. Luckily it remained in the oven and didn't explode upon taking it out (like I've seen some people saying). After it happened, I asked around and at least ten people had experienced the same problem. I will never use this product again and I will advise everyone I know to never use it again as well.

Last Thursday I pulled a glass Pyrex dish out of the heated oven. It exploded in my hands and piece of glass shrapnel punctured my foot. The bleeding wouldn't stop and I had to go to the ER and get stitches. It severed an artery in the top of my foot and I lost a lot of blood. I'm just thankful it didn't hit me in the eyes or face. I threw out every piece of Pyrex in my house. It is not safe.

I had just put a 13 X 9 inch glass Pyrex dish in the gas oven at 350 F degrees that was already preheated and had 3 other pans in the oven making a full meal. The glass dish was full of scalloped potatoes. What makes it worse is the gas range was only 1 week old. I was walking away from the range and I heard an explosion. I turned around and saw steam and smoke coming out of the oven. I ran over and turned off the oven and opened the door to see that the scalloped potatoes and shards of glass were all over the oven. Not just a broken pan but shattered glass all over the oven. Now I am trying to get the oven apart to figure out how it needs to be cleaned or if it ruined the oven. Did anyone else have the oven door affected by the explosion or the glass in the oven door broken? Or cracked??? Please write a comment if you had to use your homeowners insurance to cover the replacement parts.

I purchased the bakeware which stated oven safe from Whole Foods in Dec 2016. I used it couple of times for baking and it was fine. Four days ago, on Sunday, 4/23/17, I was cooking dinner. The bakeware was empty with no food. I took it out from a oven with the temperature of 450 degrees to make some space. It exploded in my hand and there was glass everywhere. it was extremely dangerous. I stepped on one piece of the glass and my pinky toe was bleeding badly. This product should not be sold in the market. it stated oven safe but it exploded which shows it can't handle the heat. I am glad no glass damaged my eyes which it could. Never again. I won't use Pyrex products.

I pulled a Pyrex casserole pan out of the oven with burritos in it exploded in my face. Some pieces landed on my linoleum floor and melted spots all over. Glass went in the oven, on the stovetop, counters and floor. I burned my arm and now my floor is messed up.

I didn't realize exploding Pyrex was a thing until it happened to me. I was one of the lucky ones who was not injured and had already removed the food. Within two minutes of taking the Pyrex dish out of the oven, it exploded in my hand and the pieces fell into the sink (photo attached). I would not trust this product around my family or friends and want to make sure others are aware of the dangers. I purchased the Pyrex from a Wal-Mart in Northern Virginia around 2015.

I had placed my Pyrex casserole in the dishwasher. It was room temperature and I had not yet run the dishwasher, I came home to load more dishes and found the Pyrex casserole had exploded into a million pieces!! I had heard of stories like this before but they all revolved around placing Pyrex in the oven or placing on countertops and then exploding. I have cooked with Pyrex for more than 25 years and never had an incident. I'm now hesitate to use this product. Very scary!!!

I put my Pyrex baking dish in the oven to bake at 425. It was only in for 15 min and I checked it and started to walk away and then there was a loud explosion and blew my oven door open and bent the door. My oven is only 1 yr old! I've used Pyrex for decades and have never experienced or heard of this! What is going on? Luckily I was walking away and didn't have my face in it! It only grazed my leg!

I was cooking stuffed pepper at 400 degrees for 45 mins. in Pyrex 13x9 glass pan. About 30 minutes into the cooking I heard a loud crash. Opened the oven door and saw the dish in pieces. I did search google to inquire about why it happened. Most people say extreme temperature changes. My Pyrex was not in the fridge or freezer. Weird... I did see other picture posted of Pyrex dishes that had exploded and it was the same kind, with red in the handles. I wonder if it's that particular model that had issues. I have three other size Pyrex dishes that I will continue to use with caution.

I have always bought Pyrex measuring cups, but recently when I bought 2 new cups they were not the same quality. The red measuring guide lines have washed off and the quality of the glass is not what it has previously been.

I'd just removed my 9x13 Pyrex baking dish from the oven after roasting potatoes at 450°. I placed it on the stove to cool and turned away, when I heard a REALLY LOUD pop, and turned back to see the dish shattered all over the stove & counter, and glass on the floor up to 5 feet away from the stove. I'm so glad I'd turned away and didn't get glass in my eye. Luckily I'd lined the dish with aluminum foil, so the potatoes didn't get everywhere. I will never use Pyrex again.

I heard a loud pop coming from my kitchen this afternoon. It was followed by the sound of tinkling, like chopped ice falling. No one else was home. I went into the kitchen and didn't see anything until I started opening cabinets. I opened a large cabinet that houses larger glass bakeware, and found that one of my Grab and Go casserole dishes had shattered, without warning. It had its red lid on it, and was on top of another one, identical, that I'd bought within the last six months. I last used it in November and hadn't moved it since washing it and putting it away. There was glass EVERYWHERE. Just strange. I'd never heard of anything like this happening.

I had made a bunch of lasagnas for family members and kept two for myself. One I put in a 9 x 13 Pyrex dish and the other in a stainless steel dish. We froze all of the lasagnas until they were needed. I was having family over for supper and decided to pull out one of the lasagnas. We took it out, let it sit for about 30 minutes before putting it into the oven at 350. I went to check on it a half hour later and as soon as I opened the oven door, you could hear the shattering. I grabbed oven mitts and tried picking up the dish - one complete side of the dish came off in my hand as well multiple pieces fell to the bottom of the oven. My husband grabbed a spatula to hold one side so that I could try and grab the other side of the dish and upon further inspection, that side had completely split. The edge was still there but it wasn't connected to anything!

Tonight I removed a 2 year old Pyrex brand pie plate from the oven after baking a beef pot pie at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Upon removal, I placed the Pyrex pie plate on my marble counter and it immediately shattered. Large pieces fell on my hardwood kitchen floor and damaged the finish. What a disaster. Dinner and my beautiful Brazilian hardwood floor damaged too.

My Pyrex baking dish (9x13) was sitting on top of my gas stove as the oven heated up. I picked up the dish to put it in the oven and the thing EXPLODED IN MY HAND. It was barely warm. Glass blew into the air and all over my counter, floor, and into the food I had out to prepare to feed my kids. I am just thankful that a piece of glass didn't go into my eye or hurt one of my children. I had to throw away about $20 worth of food.

I was baking chicken for my family's dinner. Ten minutes into baking time a loud explosion sound was made, and the house filled with smoke. I have an oven with double burner elements. One is in the bottom of the oven. When the glass 13x9 dish shattered, my sauce flooded the oven and shards of glass were everywhere including the side metal pieces that hold the wire racks. Needless to say I was shocked and thankful it happened in the oven. A year ago I had a second pyrex glass dish explode when I removed the cake from the oven to the counter (granite with steel trivets). I thought it was a fluke, but after today's experience I googled and found this page. Some agency should forbid Pyrex from continuing to produce unsafe bakeware. If somebody gets a glass shard in the eye it will be too late. With all the government agencies micromanaging life, you'd think some agency would get on companies who produce health hazards.

My cookware that I have had for two years exploded while in the cabinet. It had been over a week since I last used it. Me and my wife heard a noise in the kitchen and went to see what had fell. It sounded like ice breaking. We looked around and did not see anything. We figure it was the ice maker. This morning I go to take my vitamin and lo and behold the cookware had exploded into thousands of pieces. I had never heard of this happening and as I checked online I see it happens a lot.

I was keeping the dish of mashed potatoes warm in the oven. I took the dish out of the oven and placed it on the stove top and in 30 seconds it exploded! Upon further research they do not make Pyrex out of the same material that they used to and exploding dishes are fairly common. No more Pyrex for me!

Tonight as I took my Pyrex 8x8 baking dish out of my oven and set it on my glass top stove it exploded in thousands of shards... thankfully the bread pudding absorbed the smaller pieces. Very dangerous to have baking dishes spontaneously exploding! Very dissatisfied with this product. Glad no one was hurt. I will now throw out all my Pyrex glass baking dishes as I no longer trust them to be safe!

Pyrex was once a very trusted name in cookware. Now after my second casserole dish in 3 years EXPLODED in my oven, I explored an explanation. Apparently this has been happening to unsuspecting people who have put their trust in the Pyrex name for years... Ever since they sold the name and changed the composition of the product. Pyrex is no longer the trustworthy cookware your mother had. The 'from fridge to oven to table' no longer exists!!! Luckily both my incidents happened within the oven. I warn others of this very real danger. All my Pyrex is going in the garbage!!!

I bought two new glass Pyrex 9x13 cooking dishes 3 years ago when I moved into a new place. Two days ago I pre-heated my oven to 400F, lined a pan with some aluminum foil, and placed 2 chicken breasts in it to cook. When done, I pulled the pan out and placed it onto a room temperature glass cooktop as I've done dozens of times before. As I stepped back two feet to turn towards the sink, the pan EXPLODED! It did not crack or shatter in place. It EXPLODED into hundreds of pieces, spraying me, the counters and the floor in glass shards. I was 2-3 ft away when it happened and I was hit from my neck downwards with glass. Thankfully I was not hurt and had glasses on. Glass shot as far as 6 ft into my pantry (I paced it) and in the opposite direction towards my fridge. There was no damage to the stove top. Regardless of where the dish is placed, there should be no question as to whether it will remain safe and in one piece.

I have used my Pyrex baking pan several times. This time when I placed it in the oven it exploded into millions of pieces/shards. I'm lucky no-one was injured but my meal was ruined and had a mess to clean up. It's horrible a company cares so little about their customers' safety to make and put their name on this product. Shame, shame on you.

I placed a chunk of cooked corned beef into a large Pyrex baking dish, covered it with foil and placed it in a pre-heated 250 oven to keep warm while I cooked small potatoes and cabbage in the pot the corned beef had boiled in. I removed the dish and placed it on stove top on a burner that WAS NOT ON. I removed the corned beef and added it back to the pot while I mashed the potatoes. I put the corned beef back into the dish to slice it. I served dinner and we all ate... took about 20 minutes. My daughter went back and cut a little more corned beef and returned to the table.

I took the Pyrex dish out the oven and placed in on the counter, it then exploded throwing glass everywhere. I just finished brushing the glass out my daughter's hair. Thank God her back was turned as it could have gone in her face or eyes. A quick Google search led me to hundreds of others who have had similar issues so these problems are well-known and documented. The reason they explode is the cheap glass they use to increase their profits is inferior to the old formula we used to have no problems with. This is utterly disgusting that a company would put profit ahead of the actual safety of its products. DO NOT BUY. This company are greedy beyond belief to ignore an issue like this.

I placed my casserole into the preheated, 350 degree oven and 5 minutes later, we heard an explosion in the oven! Upon opening the door, we find that the dish has disintegrated into a thousand shards of glass. Dinner is ruined, the oven is a mess, and I'm thinking it was something I did. I've used it for over 4 years with no issue. After a tiny bit of research, I discover that this is happening daily! I threw away the rest of the Pyrex in my home, and contacted my 6 daughters to let them know they should discontinue using theirs. This is sad and dangerous. Corning did a much better job of manufacturing a product that stood the test of time, compared to the current manufacturer. I won't purchase this product again.

The oven was pre-heated at 350 degrees. I placed 3 chicken breasts from the refrigerator in the 9x13 dish with a few drops of olive oil (I have done this many times without any problems). Fortunately, I was still in the kitchen when I heard a very loud "explosion". When I looked in the oven I could not believe what I saw!! There was shattered glass everywhere!! While wait for the oven to cool, I took a picture. After searching the internet I have seen pictures of other shattered dishes others have posted and they are similar to mine. It took several hours to clean up all the glass. I don't understand how this is allowed to continue. It is very dangerous and unsafe. I will no longer use any Pyrex, period!

I have cooked many a time with this bowl and tonight I cooked with it, and took it out of microwave, and set it on the stove. Next thing I heard a weird noise and looked, and my bowl had cracked in half, and my food is going everywhere. I have never heard of this happening before to anyone that I know that has them. I loved this bowl!!!??? I was very satisfied until this happened.

I was baking chicken as I have done over and over again. I was using both my 9x13 pan and my 8x8 pan. My timer went off, I opened the oven and removed my 9x13 pan and suddenly my 8x8 pan broke while still in the oven. I'm lucky it was in the oven and not in my hands or I would have been severely burned by the liquids from my cooked chicken that were in the bottom of the pan. I think I'll be switching my cookware. This scared me.

Last night I was baking pork chops using my 9x13 Pyrex baking dish as I have done numerous times in the past. All of a sudden I hear what sounded like an explosion in my kitchen. I started looking to see what had happened when I smelled and saw smoke coming from my oven. I slowly opened the door slightly to see what was going on and had discovered the baking dish had exploded into about 1,000 pieces actually embedding shards of glass in my pork chops! I immediately told my husband to get rid of the rest of the Pyrex glass cookware. I don't want it in my house!!! This company needs to stand up and accept responsibility for their defective product before someone gets seriously injured.

Pyrex needs to go back to its roots using the borosilicate glass instead of the cheap Chinese crap soda lime glass. My baby girl could have been seriously injured last night as I had a brand new 13X9 Pyrex dish explode. She was within seconds of having hot grease and glass blown all over her. Let me tell you what an ugly conversation this would be for someone at your legal department had this happened. I thank God she had just stepped away from the stove. And yes it was Pyrex because I have the matching dish that I am going to trash in my cupboard. I will never again purchase this crap. I guess it will take someone becoming seriously hurt before this company takes notice. SMH. I contacted Pyrex and sent pictures. I still have not heard back. I don't care if they replace the piece. Someone is going to be hurt.

I filled a Pyrex casserole dish with a casserole at room temperature. I then put it in an oven preheated to 375F. Five minutes later there was a loud bang. When I looked in the oven, I saw that the entire back end of the casserole pan had "exploded" and fallen off, ruining the casserole and filling my oven with broken glass.

I was cooking a chicken potpie in a 13x9 Pyrex baking dish. I have used this dish a million times and never had a problem, but tonight 15 minutes into cooking at 350 degrees my dish exploded!!! I heard a huge boom in the kitchen. I thought something had fallen over in the sink; but when I didn't see anything, something said check the oven and when I did my potpie was sitting on the baking rack and there was glass EVERYWHERE!!! Pyrex should be ashamed that they haven't done something about this! I had never heard anything about exploded dishes until I just googled it and there are tons and tons of cases where Pyrex dishes have exploded dating way back!!!

First I always loved my cooking dishes, that is until my dish exploded in the oven. I just used it the week before with no problems, it was about ten minutes into cooking at 350 that I heard an explosion. I walked into the kitchen thinking that something fell over or something but walked into smoke coming out of the oven, when I was finally able to open door there was glass and my food all over the oven, am very disappointed in Pyrex and have thrown my other baking dish out.

So Shocked, I have used all my cooking life. Today I placed Brownies into the Oven using a 13X9 pan at 350-degree oven. 20 minutes into the bake time I hear an Explosion in Kitchen. Rushing in I find the Dish had bursted into a thousand pieces. The explosion was so intense that the door of my small oven was blown open. Glass was shot out all over the floor.

We were cooking chicken in the oven and suddenly heard a loud sound. We ran to the kitchen. It sounded like a small bomb went off. I was hoping it sounded worse than it was. Our pyrex dish exploded inside the oven. We followed the directions exactly. I've used it many times before with no issues. I've never heard of this happening before until today. I feel so lucky that nobody was hurt and pyrex should feel the same because I now believe this product is a safety risk. It should not be sold the way it is currently made... The old materials were much safer.

My sister had me over for dinner. She was using a 13 by 9 inch Pyrex baking dish that I brought into her home. Making pork steak her husband couldn't wait to have. She nor my brother-in-law like cooking in glass. I assured her it's fine, that's is what it is made for. Ruining an expensive dinner... I did some research and found out that Pyrex isn't made by Corning anymore and that the company that they sold the secret to uses a cheaper material and is made out of country. So just a warning to everybody out there don't buy any Pyrex baking dishes. Pyrex well... Only the older ones are true safe glass baking dishes.

My husband was baking fish in a Pyrex Baking dish and when he took it out of the oven, it exploded in his hands, sending flying glass across our kitchen floor and dining room carpet. Thankfully he had oven mitts on and our dog that was standing nearby did not get hurt. This explosion not only melted parts of our kitchen floor, it melted chunks of glass into our carpet and has been impossible to remove. Additionally, there were small loose shards of glass all over our carpet and after carefully picking up the ones we could and vacuuming repeatedly, we are still finding small shards of glass. We have a dog in our house and are concerned he is going to either eat the shards (they probably still have a fish aroma) or cut his paws. We had to put a floor rug over the area to cover the melted glass.

I was doing my routine meal prep this lovely afternoon, cooking 2 chicken breasts in my pyrex baking dish at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Once it was complete, opened the oven, pulled out the rack and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Then moved the dish to the counter so I could begin to prepare my meals (I do this routine EVERY time, twice a week). About 5 minutes into the dish sitting on the counter, it exploded. Yes exploded, glass shards went 20-30 feet from where the dish was sitting. Hit me in the face, arms, legs. I'm extremely upset and will be throwing the rest of my Pyrex in the trash.

I baked lasagna and when I was about to take it out of the oven, I heard an unusual noise in the stove. When I opened the oven there was shattered glass in the bottom of the oven. The dish appeared to have just crumbled in the oven. The dish was room temperature when I put it in the oven. There were two pans of lasagna the other pan did not break but we could not eat it because it had shards of glass in it, apparently the first pan exploded.

While at my job (working with people who are disabled) I was baking some scalloped potatoes in the glass Pyrex pan that I have. When about 10 minutes into baking, it shattered... Causing the food to leak onto the bottom of the oven and glass everywhere. I had to remove the whole rack because it was soo shattered. Then the smoke alarms went off. So all I have to say is please fix this or I will stick to metal pans.

On August 5, 2016, I had just finished baking turkey meatballs in the oven at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. I took them out, put the pan on top of my stove, turned the oven off, took the meatballs out of the pan and put them into the sauce which was in another dish. I then proceeded to put on my oven mitts, pick up the Pyrex glass pan that the meatballs were in to move off of the stove, and it exploded in my hands in mid air throwing glass and glass shards across my kitchen, into the food, burning my floor and scratching and cutting me. Have had the pan for years, approximately 5 plus. Never in my life did I ever expect anything like this to happen. It scared me to death. Now I have to replace my kitchen floor because of the damage that was done by the burning glass. This company should pull these products asap.

Last night I left a container in my sink. It was empty and not in water. This morning I heard a large explosion in my kitchen and to find my container had exploded. Before then it had been in the refrigerator. I have 8 of these containers in 3 sizes. I have not had any problems before and have been using these containers over several years as I like the idea of glass rather than plastic.

I baked a blackberry cobbler in the oven for dessert after supper last night. I put refrigerated pie crust on counter for 2 hours. Then I put one crust on bottom of Pyrex casserole. Then added blackberries (uncooked) sprinkled with sugar and flour. I finished with the second pie crust cut into strips and crisscrosses on top. I cooked in a 350 degree preheated oven until the crust browned. I put it on top of stove top cool. When I was ready to serve, I realized the eye under the casserole was warm from previous cooking. I slid the cobbler from the right front stove eye to the left front stove eye. I served two bowls of cobbler and put them on the counter. Without any sounds or warning, the Pyrex shattered. Huge number of sharp-pointed glass slivers. Some as far as 4 feet away on the floor, under the counters, and all over the kitchen counters. Until I researched, I had never heard of this happening.

I purchased a Pyrex set a few years ago and 3 days ago, I baked 4 hamburgers at 400 and as soon as I removed it from the oven and placed on the counter, it completely shattered. My 2-year-old son happened to be present at the time. This isn't my first time using it though I don't use it often. This was very dangerous and disappointing to say the least and the outcome could have been far more severe and damaging. I'm not sure what type of defect this is but it needs to be fixed. My dinner and night was ruined and 3 days later I'm still left cleaning glass and being very cautious as I have to make sure my son does not get cut from the remnants of glass.

I heard a loud exploding sound coming from my kitchen and when I entered my kitchen, I noticed large shards of glass on my counter top. I opened the cabinet, and the largest of my Pyrex mixing bowls had exploded in my kitchen cabinet. It had been in there since I last put it and the other bowls away more than a few days ago. This just happened and there are currently bits of glass all through my cabinet and in my kitchen that I have to clean up. I purchased this Pyrex set with lids from Kohl's within the last year. The fact that these bowls can just explode like this is a very serious safety issue.

I just baked 4 thick slabs of salmon in a clear Pyrex baking dish that I've had for about 3 yrs. Recipe called for 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes. I removed the Pyrex dish from the oven and put it on the stove to cool. Within about 30 seconds the entire dish EXPLODED with glass all over the stove and floor. I'm grateful none of the little kids were in the kitchen! I have used old Pyrex baking dishes from my mother and never had a problem. Now I'm afraid to use any of the other ones I have. After reading other reviews with the same experience, how can they keep selling this product?

I was baking a flat chicken for an hour following recipe. I cooked the chicken at 400 degrees and when it was finished gently laid it on the stove. I prepped my daughter's plate with food and while I was looking for another plate the bakeware exploded behind me throwing chunks all over the kitchen. I remember growing up my family always used Pyrex and never had a problem. That was years ago. The Pyrex we have now are all brand new purchased straight from Winn Dixie shopping center. I have 5 different ones to cook with but after this I think all of them are going in the trash. Wish I could get a refund on close to $100 worth of junk. I'm just thankful my daughter wasn't standing in front of the stove helping me like she usually does.

My family has used Pyrex for as long as I can remember. My mom still uses dishes she's had for over 30 years and has never had a problem. I just recently bought some new baking glass pans and have used them multiple times already. I loved them! Until today; I was baking a cookie cake at 350, like normal. (I've done this once before in the dish, no problem.) I checked the cake at 25 minutes and it wasn't quite done, so I closed the oven and went about other business. Not 5 minutes later I hear a giant crashing noise. The entire pan had exploded inside my oven. RUINING my cookie cake and creating a huge headache of a mess inside my oven.

We made pork chops for dinner, plain and simple. My husband and 11-yr old son were trying to make dinner together for Father's day eve. As my husband lifted it out of the oven with silicon mitts, the whole dish literally EXPLODED all over the oven, kitchen and hit the ceiling. This thing threw shards and chunks about 9 feet across our kitchen. Shards hit my husband in the face, and launched a pork chop over his head. The pan was marked as being A Pyrex 13x9, 3-quart 233-S, made in the USA. VERY scary, luckily no lacerations, but they are both shaking as we clean up razor sharp shrapnel all over our kitchen.

I have been using various kinds of Pyrex glassware for a long time, but unfortunately lately it has provided me nothing less than terrifying experience. It started with a measuring cup that exploded right after I washed it and put it on a dish rack. I thought it is just a fluke, but then yesterday I had a scare of my life when a Pyrex 9x13 baking dish exploded while hot into a shower of hot tiny glass pieces all over the kitchen. I am thankful that I managed to instinctively cover my face with my hands as pieces were falling over me and I wasn't hurt. But it definitely left me heart shaken and terrified. I think I will have to look for other type of baking dishes. Caution for other consumers - please be careful while using Pyrex!!!

I use Pyrex because I thought it was safe in the microwave. I've used this bowl occasionally in the microwave for about 5 years, but today it exploded after 3 minutes. Very shocked! I'm hoping it hasn't harmed the microwave.

We have had and used a number of Pyrex products for many years but two nights ago, the casserole dish unexpectedly exploded into thousands of shards all over the kitchen. The clean up was very tedious. My girlfriend was cut when it shattered. The dish had been in the oven for over 20 minutes and the meal was done. The dish was set on a clean, dry, glass stovetop that was not in use. I have read numerous other instances of breakage and have determined for myself that it's too risky to use this stuff. It was a huge mess and inconvenience, not to mention downright dangerous. The glass was broken into sharp shards and incredibly small slivers. We're throwing ours out. Not worth the risk and headaches.

I've had the same Pyrex pie dish for years. I was baking chicken at 350 and as soon as I took it out and set it on the stove, it exploded in my face sending shards of glass everywhere including the oven seeing as I had just taken it out! I will never use their product again. Ruined our dinner (due to the glass exploding all over the food taken out and other still in the oven).

Baked two loaves of bread at 350 in two Pyrex bread pans purchased probably 15 years apart (the second one was purchased a year or two ago). Took them out and set them on the counter and turned away and pop! Shards of glass flying in all directions, pelting me in the abdomen and flying into our living area (where my kids were playing). It was the newer one. Now I've read a bit and am realizing this is not as unheard-of as you'd hope.

I was cooking some beef and onions slowly in the oven at 150 degrees to make a casserole. After 3 hrs I looked in and the lid had cracked. Unfortunately the glass splintered into the meat dish making it dangerous to eat. This is the first time anything has happened with PYREX dishes and I am very surprised to read others have had similar experiences. I have used and trusted Pyrex dishes all my life. What do I cook with now?

I was baking in a Pyrex dish, the new one with the handles. When I went to remove the dish from the oven it shattered. There was glass all over my kitchen stove and floor. I ended up with cuts on my hands and foot. I have used pyrex for over 30 years and never had an issue before. Will not use again.

Just set out my two Pyrex baking dishes to start rolling up my tamales in. Thought I'd take a break and down on my couch and within eight minutes there is a large explosion in my kitchen. Came into the kitchen and this is what I found - glass everywhere! It wasn't hot, it wasn't cold, it was just sitting there and boom! Sounded like a bomb going off! Took a picture of it, it exploded with enough force to send glass 12 feet away!!

I was baking a meatloaf in the oven (at 350 degrees) in a Pyrex glass pan, which I purchased 1 or 2 years ago. After about a half hour, it exploded. Thankfully, the oven door was closed and I didn't sustain any cuts. All the food of course was ruined, of course, and it took hours to remove all the shards and crumbled glass from the oven. Something has clearly changed in the makeup of the Pyrex glass the company now uses. I have thrown out all my Pyrex glass pans and will never use the product again.

I will never buy Pyrex products again. Yesterday I was preparing my tossed salad in a Pyrex 4 Cup 100th Anniversary Green Dot Storage Dish when suddenly the dish exploded. I have never placed the dish in the oven. This was a tossed salad consisting of lettuce and veggies. I was cutting some of the salad when suddenly the bowl exploded. I heard a loud pop and the glass shattered - some of which flew off the table. The dish was completely shattered. I was lucky the glass shards did not cut me.

About 30 minutes ago, a Pyrex baking dish exploded in my oven. Loudly. Shattered into a million pieces. There were 60 seconds left on my kitchen timer. Meaning that had this happened 60 seconds later, that explosion would have occurred several inches from my face. I'm lucky I have functional eyes to be looking at the computer screen right now.

I have used glass baking dishes for decades, even those that belonged to my mother and aunt. In my 50 years of using Pyrex brand and other brands of glass baking dishes, I never experienced what happened yesterday. After putting the brownie mix into the room temp dish, and baking for about 15 minutes, I heard a very loud noise in the oven. Upon opening the oven door, I saw hundreds of glass fragments all over the floor of the oven, and in the other dish I was baking. Brownie mix was all over the oven, and I couldn't believe how much glass was everywhere.

I put 8 oz measuring cup into micro about half full and set it for 1 minute. I was standing in front of micro watching it to see if it bubbled so I could turn it off. The microwave exploded and blew the door open. I'm lucky my eyes were okay but broken glass (3 main pieces) blew in 3 different directions and shards everywhere. Am afraid to use micro again. Is there a safer brand to use? In 40 years of using pyrex and various microwave ovens I've never had anything so much as crack. This was like a bomb!!!

I was microwaving some food in a small Pyrex brand sauce dish when it violently shattered (it looked and sounded like it exploded). Ironically, the dishes have the words "microwave safe" stamped on the bottom. Not so much, apparently. Disappointed.

I purchased a Pyrex set of dishes with plastic lids from Costo about a month ago. The set consists of several different sized square, rectangle and round containers with accompanying lids that snap on. I've used them a couple of times and am quite fond of them. One medium sized rectangular container I had washed was sitting in the dish drain.

Reheating chicken at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. At 15 minutes it exploded. The pan was not cracked or frozen. It did come out of the fridge but sat at room temperature for 15-20 minutes while the oven heated. What a mess! Luckily no one was opening the oven door or picking it up at the time. I've read this has happened to many others. I am boxing up all the pieces and the chicken too and returning it to Pyrex.

I was baking a chicken breast and heard what sounded like a muffled explosion. I knew it came from the oven. My 9X14 casserole bakeware literally exploded into shards of glass. If this happened as I opened the oven, it could have been way more serious than having to clean up the glass and throw away the chicken.

Today, I was baking a chicken casserole in a Pyrex dish. It was baking at 350 for about 30 minutes when it exploded into tiny shards of glass. It took me about an hour to clean up. Thankfully, I was not opening the door when the explosion occurred. No more Pyrex for me!

13'x9'x2' Clear casserole dish just exploded in oven! Glass shards everywhere. It was not temperature shocked. It was room temperature before being placed in the 375 oven, and had been in the oven at least fifteen minutes before exploding. I wrote this review because I am very displeased with this product. The cleanup is a nightmare, and I have at least one tiny piece of glass in my hand that I can't even see even though I was careful. After researching on the internet this sounds like a fairly common occurrence, and could be partially due to: "Pyrex switched from using borosilicate glass to tempered soda lime glass only after Corning sold the brand to World Kitchen in 1998."

Last night I was baking chicken at 400 degrees in a Pyrex dish. No the dish was not frozen, chipped, nor cracked and yes the dish said Pyrex on it. 15 minutes later I heard a small explosion. I opened my oven to find the glass dish broken into small pieces. Thankfully I was not injured, but after reading the response that Pyrex has issued regarding these complaints, I will never again buy their products or support their company.

Tonight I used a new Pyrex 8x8 glass baking dish. A short while into baking brownies I heard a loud pop sound from the kitchen. It was lots enough to startle me. I found the inside of my oven covered in brownie mix intermingled with pieces of the broken glass that was once the pan. I had to wait for the oven to cool down to clean it, which took over an hour. I hate to think what would have happened if I was checking on them with the door open.

Good evening Pyrex Home. We had a terrible thing happen in our oven with the Pyrex this evening. The chicken was cooking in our oven and the Pyrex dish literally exploded! Glass everywhere! It was all inside the oven thankfully, so I turned off the oven and luckily no fire or smoke. Once it cooled down enough, I had the task of removing the nearly cooked chicken and the loads of broken Pyrex. It was a big job. Thankfully no cuts to myself or the rest of the oven, just a lot of broken glass in the garbage, and not to mention our chicken dinner was also wasted and in the garbage.

My wife Rhonda and I were home preparing a casserole in a Pyrex casserole dish. We set the oven to 350. Put the casserole in the oven for one hour. After about 50 minutes went by we heard an explosion coming from the kitchen. My wife ran out to the kitchen to the oven and found that the casserole dish had exploded inside the oven. Oh my god somebody could've been seriously injured. It took my wife an hour and a half to clean the mess up. We ended up eating Chinese food. I guess this dishware isn't what it's cracked up to be. We were very disappointed. But we were glad no one got hurt. Consumers beware!!!

Just heard a loud noise and went to my oven where I had just started my lasagna about 15 minutes ago to find the pan had exploded and is in a million pieces. So disappointed as it costs so much to make a homemade lasagna anyways and it was starting to smell up the house with the aroma. No more Pyrex for me. I am done after 30 years of them.

Cooking a roast in a Pyrex bakeware at 325 degrees, after two hours heard a loud explosion. I checked and the dish had exploded all over. This dish was very new with no obvious cracks or chips. This is the second time in a couple months something happened. A month ago a Pyrex bowl did the same thing in the microwave heating vegetables. I researched a lot of similar incidents online. This is serious and very scary. Something should be done. The old dishes from Pyrex ware are still going strong. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

I was baking a blueberry cobbler and we heard an explosion like sound, opened oven and the dish exploded all over the oven and onto my other cobbler.

I was cooking a casserole in the oven and about 15 minutes in heard a loud "pop". I went to the oven and opened the door and the casserole dish had completely shattered. Extremely disappointed in the quality of the product as there was no factor to instigate such a reaction.

I've had 2 of my Pyrex bakeware explode in the oven. This last time I went to check on dinner and as I open the oven bent down to pull the rack out, the glass dish exploded in my face. I'm extremely lucky I did not get hurt in the process. Now I have yet another mess to clean up. The first time the oven temp was on 350. This time it was set at 250.

Very concerned as Pyrex dish shattered in oven. It was only at 350 F and food and glass got everywhere. I had made a delicious and expensive fish pie - it all went to waste. Was fortunate that happened inside the oven so no one was hurt.

I own a lot of Pyrex products. Last night we cooked chicken with bacon wrapped around it, which I've cooked before in Pyrex and other brands. 5 minutes before it was to be taken out of the oven we have a what I can only describe as a small explosion. I ran right over to the oven and opened up the oven door slowly and there was bacon grease and glass everywhere! We just bought our stove 3 months ago, so it's brand new and now it's completely covered in grease that is now completely cooked onto the bottom and sides. This is going to take hours to clean. Not only that, thank god neither my husband or myself opened the oven to check on the chicken and had that explode on us! I cannot believe that such a well established brand knows about this happening (and apparently happening often!) and has not done anything about it.

Baking a casserole and just moments before I was to take it out the thing exploded. I have a picture I'd be happy to share and have on twitter. Now who pays the doctor bill for the cuts from cleaning out the oven? I smell a very large CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!!! I want everybody to know that this happens. How about reimburse for the dish and the food I lost?

I was cooking chicken for dinner in Pyrex dish. I heard a loud noise and the dish completely blew up and shattered in the oven. I have never seen anything like this before, and will never cook with Pyrex again.

I work retail and I was separating two 13 X 9 baking dishes when it exploded in my hand. Glass flew everywhere. It was at room temperature and I was arranging products on the shelf. Beware! I was covered in glass and got a piece in my finger. I'm lucky that's all that happened.

My mother has been using Pyrex since the 1940s without incident. Today a 9" x 9" cooking pan violently burst into shards of glass in the oven as she opened it to check the meat. I read up on the manufacturing process and discovered that the manufacturing formula was changed around 1999. In any case she was so jolted by the experience. She said she will no longer be purchasing Pyrex products.

My daughter invited us to dinner on January 16th of 2016 and we offered to bring a salad. When we arrived, I made a balsamic dressing and used a one cup measuring Pyrex glass as the vessel for this dressing. As my husband picked up the glass Pyrex measuring cup, it shattered in his hand. As you can imagine, the glass flew all over the table and meal. His clothes were stained and there was even a small shard of glass embedded on the wall by the table but thank god he was not hurt. He had just lifted the glass as it exploded and all I can do is thank god that his eyes and hand were intact. IS IT COINCIDENCE that Pyrex products had a great sale before the holidays? As a family, we enjoy cooking together and share meals frequently. I received Pyrex as a gift and I gave Pyrex as a gift. Now, I just want to throw every Pyrex product away and tell all my friends and family NOT to purchase the brand.

I was cooking a stuffed pork roast at 325F for 45 minutes. I went to check on the roast and pulled the rack out a little bit. And then boom I saw the glass go flying all over the oven and outside too. The roast landed on rack! I couldn't believe what I just saw! After a few choice words as my family were resting and could not hear me. I shut off the oven and pulled the ruined meat out. I have been a big fan of Pyrex for years, I use bowls, baking dishes and etc. I'm sure glad that nobody was hurt. I have no proof of purchase but it was years old but it should not have happened!

My first Easy Grab 1.9 L Pyrex dish [purchased at the local Safeway store] shattered while cooling (from 325 degree) in the oven on Sept 11, 2015. My second dish purchased Sept 12, 2015 shattered Jan 2, 2016 when it was moved from the oven at 325 degree to the top of the oven. I have the receipt for the purchase of the second dish along with a picture of the shattered dish. As a retired synthetic chemist I have over 30 years of working with Pyrex vessels and Pyrex should not do this! Please consider recalling this item before someone gets seriously injured.

1/4/16 Last night, I baked scalloped corn in covered 1 1/2 qt Pyrex Casserole Dish, at 350 degrees for 50 mins. Took the casserole out of the oven, set it on top of the stove, took the cover off and laid it on a potholder on the kitchen counter, turned, took one step to the side of where I'd been standing and BOOM! It sounded like someone fired off a gun in the room!! The cover had EXPLODED, sending a large piece, about 1/3 of the cover, flying across the kitchen, all the way to the entrance to the dining room, sent two pieces of glass, about the size of a marble, in the direction opposite of where I was standing, into the laundry room where they hit and DENTED the clothes dryer.

I put my roast in the oven in a cooking bag and about 25 min I heard a loud boom noise. Went and checked and my dish was shattered and my bag ripped opened, glass all over meat..

My 4 Cup round freezer to oven container with the blue lid is a year old. I've never used it in the freezer. Yesterday, while putting the lid on some leftovers, the lid split vertically from the rim to the top. Now it leaks. I found website to order replacement lids - the price is ridiculous! 2.99 + 5.99 shipping - from Pyrex official site! The entire unit cost 6.99 at Walmart. Unacceptable! I have two 7x5 (3 cup) Pyrex that I had purchased in 2001. They have been in the freezer, in the oven at 400. They are still perfect, including the lids. I think the lid on the 4 c had a manufacturing defect (Pyrex savvy enough to say 'limited 1 year warranted').

I roasted a pork loin at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes, removed it from the oven, and placed it on my glass cook top to rest. Three to four minutes later I heard a boom and falling glass. The dish had exploded like a bomb, sending glass shards all over my kitchen, my sink, and even embedding in the fibers of my rug. Thankfully my toddler and I were in another room or we could have been seriously hurt. I did have water boiling in a kettle on a burner diagonally across from where the dish was placed, but from what I understand, this should not have caused a problem. I really felt the need to share this as someone could be seriously hurt.

Today, I began slow roasting a pork shoulder in the oven. The temperature was at 300 and the dish had been in the oven for about 25 minutes. I opened the oven door to see if I should add any liquid and the large baking dish shattered with such force that glass shards were stuck in my sweater and flew in all directions throughout the kitchen. There was no warning of the dish beginning to fail, just a loud shattering sound that was similar to someone throwing a glass onto the floor. Other than a few pieces in my hair and stuck lightly in my hands, I was so lucky to not be hit in the eyes and/or cut badly. What if my toddler had been home? This is disturbing. I went to the Pyrex website and called the consumer line which told me my estimated wait time was well over 15 mins. Something is really wrong here.

I was trying to add to the comments about this product in an article. I never heard of this happening but I did and then I saw your article and have a photo similar to the one you posted. The dishes are about 25 years old and were put in the oven at 350 degrees and within 15 minutes, one of the dishes exploded spraying glass all over the oven including the "good" pan next to it. Glad it wasn't being handled outside of the oven. It apparently "lost its temper" and I am discarding all other Pyrex glassware.

I used the large Pyrex baking dish last week and as it sat on the stove top... it exploded. And glass flew everywhere, into my food and on me as well... shaking my head. I purchased a set of two along with lids from Kmart last year but I just started utilizing them again because I just moved back into my own place again.

While making our Thanksgiving dinner about an hour prior to putting the extra stuffing in the oven (350 degrees), I removed it from the refrigerator for it to cool to room temperature. Dinner was being taken out of the oven, I took the Pyrex baking dish that had the stuffing in, set it on top of the stove, opened the oven door back up, bending over to rearrange the rolls, when the dish exploded! Looking at it, it was like one sided almost had melted. Thank goodness I wear glasses! This could have been so dangerous! Also thankful there were lids on the other sides that were sitting in the same area.

It was Thanksgiving afternoon of 2015. I was using a Pyrex bowl to make flan as I always have. After I melted the sugar to make the caramel and was trying to get the caramel to coat the sides, I proceeded to place the bowl into the water bath and the water was hot when the bowl just exploded on me! Thankfully I only got some glass shards on my clothes. I thought the odds of this happening again were very unlikely, boy was I wrong! I got another bowl and did the same steps only to have the bowl explode on me while coating the sides with caramel. This time, our food was ruined since glass splattered all into the already prepared food. The worst part was the fact that I ended up in the emergency room with second degree burns on my hands and in the worst pain I have ever felt (and I've given birth to six kids)!

In the kitchen and my mom's getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner. Helped her remove several dishes from the warming oven to the counter including one rectangular Pyrex dish of dressing. We were sitting around talking when stunned by a loud pop and the sound of shattering glass. We thought a dish had fallen from the counter but the Pyrex dish of dressing had exploded, sending shards of glass over everything. Contaminated much of our meal. Unbelievable that this dish would completely disintegrate in such a way and with such seeming explosive force. And it didn't just crack, it completely shattered just sitting there, into thousands and thousands of tiny jagged pieces. No one injured.

I baked a meatloaf on 350 degrees last night. I took it out after it was done and sat it on the stove which also has green beans and Mac & cheese, sitting on back burners, which were off. As I set the dish down, I heard the glass explode. It burst into quite a bunch of small pieces, flying into my other food and all over me. I wish I had taken pictures but it scared me so bad with glass in my hair that all I could think of was to get it off me and also off my new stove. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the stove but I had to throw out all the food. Really shocked because after all the years using your product, this is the first time anything like this has happened. Not sure if I will ever buy any more. Never expected the dish would literally explode just by taking it out of an oven and onto a stove top which was warm from the oven being on. I thank God it didn't go in my eyes.

I placed 2 new Pyrex baking dishes in the oven at 350 degrees. Ten minutes later, I heard an explosion. The dish on the middle shelf had exploded all over the oven. I turned the oven off to cool. Fifteen minutes later, there was another smaller explosion. These dishes were 2 weeks old. Someone could have been seriously hurt if the oven door was opened. How is it possible I found similar complaints dating back ten years all over the internet and I was able to buy this product 2 weeks ago?

I was making "pecan pie bars" last evening in a Pyrex dish that I bought about 4-5 years ago. I set the oven temperature to 350. I pressed a shortbread mixture (butter, flour) into the bottom of the Pyrex dish. Baked for 20 minutes. Took it out of the oven and put it on the granite counter top so it could cool. About 5 minutes later there was a LOUD bang--- and exploding glass. The dish had spontaneously combusted. This is EXTREMELY dangerous.

All our mixing bowls are Pyrex. We also have rectangular serving dishes. We've had them for so long and just early this year, we've bought 2 more bowls. I usually use the bowls for mixing and rarely for cooking. One of the 2 new ones we've bought early this year cracked a few months ago and luckily it did not explode as described in most of the reviews mentioned here. It was near the gas stove when it cracked so we thought it was the reason but now I think not. Pyrex should look at this issue and better resolve it fast. We've always liked Pyrex and it'll be such a loss if they won't act fast.

I was heating water in the microwave in my glass Pyrex measuring cup, which I had done before. Because I was heating the water for my toddler who had a sore throat, I purposely didn't want it to be too hot. I set the microwave's auto cook for three minutes, but I pulled it out around 2 minutes and 30 seconds. When I removed the measuring cup from the microwave, it shattered just as my hand touched the handle. The handle and glass was unexplainably hot for microwaving it a short period of time. The Pyrex caused severe burns on my hand. In the photo you can see the burns on the pads of my fingers from where I held the handle.

I had used this clear Pyrex dish as a serving dish. I filled the dish with a chicken Alfredo sauce as I had made a second sauce for those who did not want meat sauce. Everything was fine until about an hour and a half later I was scraping the contents of the dish into another container to send home with my daughter-in-law. Both the dish and it's contents were room temperature by this time. Suddenly the dish exploded sending glass shards of various size in a 2 to 3 foot area. The dish had only been used as a serving dish not for cooking. I had the dish about 2 months and had only used it twice.

I was at work and had heated up my 2 cup Pyrex bowl for 1 min, 30 secs in the microwave. I was holding the bowl in my hand. Luckily I had a paper towel between my hand and the bowl, when all of the sudden the bowl shattered. I only sustained a small cut as a result but was shocked and could have been hurt worse. I did not know that this was a common problem until I saw all of the recent reviews; I always thought that Pyrex was the brand to have for cookware but I guess I was wrong.

I was making dinner tonight using a Pyrex dish I had purchased about a year ago and only used twice. About ten minutes into my meatloaf cooking I heard a loud sound and opened the oven to find the dish completely shattered. I quickly closed the oven and turned it off to cool then had to throw away my dinner along with a ton of glass. The glass was not cracked prior to cooking nor was it moved from a change in temperature. What a waste of money and time. After reading other reviews I am at least thankful I caught it at the right time and it didn't explode on me while taking the dish out. I also read up on the changes made to the glass used in Pyrex materials. I will not be using this brand anymore.

As I sat drinking my coffee, home alone this morning, I heard what sounds like an explosion of dishes in the kitchen. I went through and in my sink was my Pyrex measuring cup jug I had washed the evening before and left to drip dry, shattered. I had to sweep shards off my floor. There was nothing actually on or against the jug. It was upside down in the sink. I had rinsed the reusable coffee filters early in the morning and they were beside the jug drying. They are plastic and light and were not hot or anything when put in, just rinsed and placed there to dry with my stuff from the night before. They had been placed there at least a half hour before this happened, likely more than hour before. I actually store the Pyrex jug sitting on my counter as I use it every day to fill my coffee maker with the water from my fridge door that is filtered but not really cold. I hadn't used it this morning as my coffee maker didn't need filled.

I used a Pyrex dish to bake some pheasant breasts. The dish was room temperature and the oven was properly preheated when I placed it in the oven. About 15 minutes later, I heard a shattering sound. The dish had exploded into sharp jagged pieces. Luckily, no one was injured, but I am out one dish, one pheasant, and the time I had to spend cleaning glass shards and dust out of my oven. I am leery to continue using Pyrex. I have children whom enjoy cooking with me. I don't feel safe having them around the Pyrex products.

On 9/1e/2015 I was watching TV when I heard a loud noise like glass breaking. I immediately tried to find out what had happened, I thought something had fallen off the wall. Finding nothing I went back to watching TV.. A little while later, I went into the kitchen to put away the clean dishes. When I opened the cabinet door I found out what the loud noise had been. My 9 inch Pyrex pie plate had exploded. I was shocked because I've used Pyrex products all my life, I am 70. What would cause this?

I was making a nice steak that I was searing on my stove top. I had the PYREX rectangular piece of crap in the oven preheating so I can place my nice steak in it to finish in the oven. When the steaks were ready, I pulled out the PYREX rectangular piece of crap and placed it on top of the stove. Then I felt a slight vibration and it exploded all over my kitchen. 3 of us were standing near the stove and luckily nobody got hurt. PYREX is not what it used to be. It was apparently bought out years ago and they changed how it is made because of the bottom line. PYREX screw you for putting a product out that has hurt people. And WALMART is crap because they do not take it off their shelves!!! BEWARE!!!

A Pyrex glass measuring cup just exploded inside my kitchen cabinet. It was last used 2 days prior. I mean this was a spontaneous explosion. Luckily nobody was injured. I just spent 3 hours washing the entire contents of the cabinet, removing shelves and trying to get rid of all the tiny pieces of glass. I will never use or buy another Pyrex product.

I was baking spaghetti squash in a preheated 375 degree oven in my 9x13 Pyrex baking dish. I took it out of the oven and placed it on a cutting board on the counter and it completely exploded and shattered hundreds of pieces of glass throughout the entire kitchen. I was barefoot and while I didn't cut myself, I did step on a piece of hot glass. I will NEVER put Pyrex in the oven again. It startled me and shook me up. I'm thankful my cat wasn't in the kitchen. After reading so many of these reports, I think consumers should be aware of what could happen. I told a friend and he said the same thing happened to him about 20 years ago. The dish was about a year old and used a handful of times. Will never buy Pyrex again.

Just getting ready to sit down to dinner tonight with my husband and 2 daughters when we hear a loud boom come from the oven where a chicken casserole was finishing up. Looking in the oven the glass Pyrex dish had totally shattered and the contents were spilling down through the oven racks and onto the floor of the oven. What a horrible mess. The smell and smoke from the casserole burning on the oven floor was terrible. I never knew they would do this. It was in a pre-heated 350 degree oven. The dish was maybe 10 years old but I know people who have had the same baking dish for 20 years or more. I am thankful it happened while it was still in the oven so it was in a confined space because I am afraid one of us would have been hit by hot flying glass if I had sat it on the table. Pyrex needs to make people aware this can happen and how to avoid it.

I was heating slices of ham in a small Pyrex pan while baking a separate Pyrex 3QT dish of potatoes on 400 degrees. The potatoes were in the oven for 25 minutes and the ham for just 15 minutes when I used a hot pad and started to remove the ham baking dish from the oven. The Pyrex dish immediately exploded in the oven projecting shards of glass all over the inside of the oven as well as across my kitchen floor. A piece of glass cut my toe and I thank God that my 2 year old was in the other room. I have never had anything like this happen before. Extremely scary. Pyrex has just lost another customer!

Used a rectangle Pyrex baking dish for 2 chicken leg quarters... I've used this same pan for a whole chicken before but this time about 15-20 min. into baking at about 385 it just exploded in the oven. The more I read the more I find this is the norm for these dishes. Some exploding when not even in use... This is crazy!!!

One of my Pyrex bowls (2 cu volume, with lid, branded Pyrex Storage) just shattered spontaneously while not in use. The bowl has not been used for at least a week, and was resting in a dorm cube (metal grid with wires set 1.5" apart) with another identical bowl stacked on top of it. These bowls have only been used in two ways: (1) hot food put into them and left to cool on a wooden trivet until near room temperature, then put into the refrigerator, or (2) as airtight storage for fermenting bread dough, cut vegetables, or shredded cheese. I do not have a microwave or dishwasher, and have never used these in the oven.

As I've now read with many consumers they have been having the same issues with their Pyrex pans exploding. This would have been completely deadly if my 3 year old nephew was in the room, or if I was any closer to the pan. It sent literally thousands of broken pieces everywhere, that were 400 degrees burning through towels, and carpets in the next room adjacent to the kitchen. Severely dangerous! I can't believe they are in business with this as a possibility.

Pyrex exploded in my hand at room temp. Manufacturer World Kitchen needs to be accountable for this dangerous product violently exploding for no reason causing injuries!!!

I have had two separate experiences where the Pyrex glass pan has exploded in the oven while baking food. The first incident happened on 11/11/11 to my husband while he was baking a lobster and the glass exploded in the oven. There were shards of glass all over the oven. I thought it was just a freak incident. Then recently, I myself was baking pork chops in another Pyrex glass pan and at 350 degrees. The pan exploded, the base was intact but the entire edge blew right off in the oven. Thankfully, it blew up in the oven but the mess was really difficult to clean up as there was glass all over the place. This is a safety hazard and I'm never putting another Pyrex product in the oven.

I'm going to contact this awful company! It just blew up, while grabbing it! My hand is cut up, and legs. It blew up so fast and ugly. I'm thanking God it didn't blow upwards in my face, eyes or throat!!

45 minutes in the oven, the Pyrex exploded epically all over the place with the spaghetti squash. Here is the picture. Enough said. Thank heavens I was not around.

Similar to many of the experiences already noted I was cooking a meal in my grab and go bake dish at 400 degrees. Shortly after I opened the oven and stepped aside the dish exploded where the glass was distributed throughout my kitchen and dining room. Thank god no one, including my kids, were standing in front!

After 15 mins of baking chicken at 375 the Pyrex baking dish exploded in my oven. Had to go to the store to get hot dogs since I had no other meat thawed out, ruined some delicious chicken and I'm out the money of the pan and ruined food.

Last night was my anniversary and since we didn't have anyone to watch our son, my husband planned a nice meal at home. A delicious garlic pork tenderloin some potatoes and shrimp. He wraps the tenderloin in foil and puts its in our favorite baking dish a large size blue Pyrex casserole dish. And sets our newer model oven to 400 degrees and places the dish on the top rack. While that was baking he cut up the potatoes and set them on another baking sheet we have and placed them under our "trusty" Pyrex dish. About 45-hour rolls around my husband goes in to get the dish out to serve the food and I hear the oven door open. As he goes to grab the casserole dish it explodes into hundreds of tiny little pieces... At this point it's covered the pan of potatoes underneath of it, the bottom of my oven, my floor and also in our storage bin under our oven.

My husband had finished baking a chicken at 375. He lowered the temperature to 350 and added cold chicken broth. It immediately exploded all over the oven. The chicken and vegetables exploded in the oven and was covered with glass shards. The explosion also sent the shards over the floor.

Similar experience to another writer: About 30 minutes after finishing the dishes, heard an explosion and found our pyrex measuring cup shattered in the drainer into medium to very small pieces and all the pieces had tiny cracks throughout. No abrupt temperature change was involved in this one. Made quite a mess. I was standing about 3 feet away-- glad I wasn't right next to it. Won't be using these anymore!

I placed a 9 by 13 casserole dish on the stove. I accidentally turned on the wrong burner. Minutes later it blew up. Luckily I was walking out of the room. I know you don't place glass cookware on a hot burner, but you also don't expect it to explode sending pieces of glass up to 10 feet away.. burning into the floor and leaving a layer of glass dust for a 3 foot radius. It took 2 hours to clean up. I was lucky. Growing up I learned Pyrex could withstand high temps. No one informed us the glass has changed. I am glad I found out without getting hurt. I have gotten rid of all glass cookware and advised my family to do the same. The company is irresponsible.

I made a lemon/cheesecake dessert. I first baked a pecan crust, let it cool, then added cooked, cooled lemon pudding. After that cooled, I added cheesecake layer (cool). Topped it all off with whipped cream and placed it in the refrigerator overnight. In a thermal bag, I took the dessert to a neighborhood party the next evening at 5:00. The dish was placed on the granite kitchen counter with other desserts. Around 5:30, when people were ready for the dessert and as a person was about to get a piece of this, it EXPLODED!! In hundreds of pieces.

My rectangular heavy duty Pyrex dish just exploded inside the oven. I've never seen anything like it. Oven was only on 325. I was reheating pizza in tin foil. It wasn't in there but a few minutes. No water... I'm so shocked.

I cooked a casserole this past Sunday, 21 Jun 15, in my 13x9 Pyrex. I let it rest about 10-15 minutes before serving. I had cut a few serving out and then moved to my granite bar to serve easier. It was cooled enough that I carried it by the handles with bare hands. About 1 minute after moving it the Pan exploded. The breakfast was ruined and luckily no one was hurt. We thought one of the pieces that had been far enough away that it was safe and let my father have it. He later found a piece of glass. We are praying he didn't consume any. This set was purchased Nov 2014 at Walmart.

Brand new 9X13 Pyrex baker exploded in my brand new camper oven. While taking our new camper on the first outing, I prepared a breakfast casserole for everyone. While it was baking (first time using oven) it exploded and shot glass/food everywhere. Explosion was so powerful it actually caused the oven door to open some and glass to exit the oven onto my 11 yr old daughter. Luckily no one was injured just very shaken up and hungry. As we were camping rural, we had just enough food for the weekend and lost this entire meal.

Last night after cooking brownies, we put our 4-year old Pyrex dish on our smooth cooktop stove to cool. One of the units was just slightly warm. Within 5 minutes the dish did not just break, but exploded into sharp chunks and shards of glass. The glass traveled at least 7 feet when it exploded. It, indeed, sounded like a bomb went off. If anyone had been in the area at the time this happened, they would have been severely cut, blinded, and burned.

Was baking fish at 450. When I removed the dish and set it on top of the stove, it exploded. People quibble about the use of the term "exploded." True - it did not explode like a hand grenade. However, hot pieces of glass (and food) were propelled at high velocity and could later be found at many places in the kitchen. The word "shattered" is far too gentle a term to use - bits of glass were definitely flying through the air.

For Memorial Day my aunt had baked a cake in a 9x13 Pyrex baking dish. After cake was gone, soaked it overnight in the sink with water. The next day while my uncle was cleaning the dish and it exploded in his hands. Shattered glass was all over the kitchen and my uncle suffered minor cuts on both hands. Glass was also on his face. Thank goodness he was wearing glasses so nothing popped into his eyes.

I just put a room temp Pyrex pie dish in a 350 degree oven, to bake a few tomatoes. Within a few minutes the dish exploded inside the oven. What gives? This is absolutely unacceptable, and potentially so extremely dangerous!!!

I was washing one cup Pyrex measuring cup by hand in warm water when it shattered in my hand. I didn't drop it or bump it on anything. I was holding onto it and it broke. I have used Pyrex for years and love Pyrex but this really upset me.

Our investment club considered buying stock in Pyrex about eight years ago. We researched and found that the company was making the newer stuff in China and that there were numerous complaints of explosions when using the newer Pyrex. We decided not to buy the stock.

My Pyrex dishware and baking dishes are quite old. Two nights ago, I made a fish dish and put in the oven at the temp. in the recipe. I was about to open the door, and the fish dish exploded into many pieces and shards. Thank God I hadn't opened the door, because I would've been covered with pieces and shards of glass. I was definitely badly frightened. The mess of glass and food took me 2 hours to clean up. I have many old bowls and plan on throwing them out. Also, I tried to get in touch with Customer Service at Pyrex.com, and tried to phone them, but I kept getting the message that call volume was going to be at least 30 minutes for them to answer. Two times I waited for 30 minutes. I am totally disgusted with the Customer Service at Pyrex.com. Once I have thrown out all of my Pyrexware, I will have to buy new bakeware and bowls. I will NOT recommend Pyrex to anyone!

I was on the second floor of my house early in the morning and thought I heard glass breaking downstairs. No one else was in the house except my dogs. I ran downstairs and didn't see any broken glass in any room and thought I must have misinterpreted what I heard. Later, at lunch time, I opened the cabinet where I keep mixing bowls and 3 Pyrex measuring cups: (2) 1 cup and (1) 2 cup. The 1 cups are over 5 years old and the 2 cup is only about 1 year old. The 2 cup had exploded into shards, flying into the other cups and items in that cabinet. This measuring cup hadn't been used in a month. It was not near any heat or cold source. No one bumped it, touched it...or even looked at it...in days.

We have a set of Pyrex nesting storage bowls which we keep on top of the fridge. Yesterday, I used the largest one to hold cut up watermelon in the fridge. I washed it, left it to dry in the dish drainer & then put it back on top of the fridge. While making dinner that night, there was an explosion. The biggest glass bowl shattered. None of the other bowls inside it exploded. Glass shards were everywhere. We had not even touched the bowl. This could not be explained away by improper usage or even extreme temperatures.

We had a piece of fish cooking in a Pyrex dish at 400 degrees in the oven for 15 minutes. Using oven mitts, my partner took it out of the oven, placed it down gently and started to walk away. About two seconds later, the dish exploded/shattered into many hot shards. Luckily he had turned around and stepped away from the dish or he likely would have been injured. As we have only had the dish for three years and have used it safely and occasionally, I am concerned for the safety of others with Pyrex Bakeware. Please beware of glass Pyrex cookware, I will never buy it again.

Cooked potatoes and chicken as usual in a very large Pyrex dish. Removed it from oven and within seconds it exploded in my hands. Shattered everywhere. Small cuts on my leg. Almost hit my dog. Thank God she ran fast. It was purchased in November at Kohl's. All my other Pyrex never did this. Never again will I use this product.

We have purchased several products from Pyrex in the past including their large baking dishes. This week, we placed our baking dish in the dishwasher like we always do however, the entire dish shattered into a hundred pieces after the wash cycle was complete. In fact, when the dish exploded within our dishwasher it sounded like a bomb went off. The pieces were very sharp and dangerous to pick up and there were so many of them. Beware- this product should not be sold to the public!
