Pyrex Reviews

Pyrex 8x8 clear baking pan exploded into a million pieces all over my kitchen. I stood there in shock for a moment until I realized I was bleeding. Got back a little while ago from a the ER for stitches in my hand and my husband is in the process of cleaning up a huge mess. I'm terrified of Pyrex now. My kids were right there. I didn't get this cut from picking up the glass.... it's from glass flying at me. Crazy, freaky sharp shards of glass.

A Pyrex storage bowl that is less than a year old has developed cloudy spots that appear to be in between the layers of glass. Not sure why this has happened. I have used the bowl in the microwave but never the oven.

Last night I used a Pyrex dish to roast brussel sprouts at 400 degrees. When I removed the dish to flip these sprouts, the dish exploded in my hand. I was in shock. Glass was stuck in my hands and I was bleeding. It took forever to clean. Tiny shards of glass went all over my kitchen counter and into the food I had already prepared. This product should be illegal.

New pie plate. Poured warm Caramel for flan. Dish was tempered and in a water bath. Just exploded! Glass shards went everywhere. I am so lucky. Huge mess. So dangerous! Again, so lucky. But still finding shards. Scary. Have a family and cat. This is a very bad product!

Wife was cooking dinner last night, she was broiling a steak in a 9 & 1/2" deep dish Pyrex pie plate as she has always done before. When she went to turn the steak over it exploded. She was not hurt but we had a hell of a mess to clean up. Lesson learn was you don't put a $20.00 steak in a $6.00 Pyrex plate.

I have had my two Pyrex dishes with red lids for not quite a year. My smaller ones was gently used, maybe used once a month. My husband was making scallops in it tonight, completely normal, and seconds after taking it out of the oven it exploded all over my kitchen. Luckily he had just stopped around the corner from the dish before it happened or who knows what would have happened to him. There were shards in the microwave above it...what if someone had been in there when it exploded?? And it took a good hour to clean up the mess.

I've had a Pyrex jug for some time and had no issues. Then this evening I took it out of the cupboard and put it on the table to use. It literally just exploded whilst sitting there, showering my four year old and baby in glass! (My four year old was standing next to the table, my baby was in my arms). My daughter cut her feet walking out of the kitchen across a path of glass shards! (If I could have carried her out I would have). I'm absolutely horrified. This could have been so much worse. I'll never buy a Pyrex product again.

I was roasting potatoes in the oven. I took them out to stir them and the dish literally exploded in my hands. I was in such shock. It was at room temperature before I placed it in the oven. I will never use pyrex again. I am scared for life.

I bought a Pyrex Easy Grab baking dish to make Macaroni and cheese for Easter dinner last week. No problems. Poured hot elbow macaroni and cheese sauce, combined and baked at 350 for 20 minutes the night before Easter. Took it out of the refrigerator on Easter morning, let it come to room temp, then finished baking during last 15 minutes of ham cooking. Washed it, put it away until today. Took it out to make chicken wings. Sprayed with cooking spray. Preheated oven to 375. Poured wings and marinade into dish. Went to complete other chores and was going to turn wings at the 30 minute mark. I'd just shut off vacuum when I heard an explosion in my oven!

I am writing about my dish shattering in millions of pieces last night. Thank God was watching over me that I did not get my eyes put out or cut all to pieces. I had hamburger cooking in the dish and went to turn them over and the glass exploded everywhere. I was bent over the dish when it did this. It went out on the floor, the oven door, and all over the oven. Was a mess and hassle to clean up? I was reading this is a problem now with your dishes. I will be throwing all my Pyrex dishes away and never buying Pyrex again and will be sure to tell everyone I know to do the same. So please get back with me on this matter.

I purchased a 15 inch rectangular pyrex dish with a red lid. I made scalloped potatoes in it for Easter. After dinner, the dish was washed by hand, and I brought it back home, where I sat it on the table as my hands were full.. The next morning, my husband came downstairs and found the dish shattered into pieces, with shards of glass everywhere. The bottom of the dish was still on the table. It was not exposed to extreme changes in temperature when it shattered. Had someone been walking by, that person would have been seriously injured. This was a brand new dish, only used once.

Glass 10 by 7 - Took it out of oven and it exploded in my hands.

I just bought a 4 piece easy grab Pyrex set. Made some brownies, took it out of the oven, heard a noise, set it on stove, turned and it exploded everywhere. It took me one hour to clean up the mess, I cut my finger, had to go to the store and buy more brownie mix, another pan because I threw out all my old stuff and it is the day before Easter. I did read on Google that this has been happening a lot to people. In my opinion this is very dangerous and something should be done. Thank You.

I cooked a pork roast last evening. Dish had sat a bit, rinsed it out and stacked with other dishes. At midnight last evening, heard a pop and the entire dish shattered all over the sink, counter... Had that of happened while I was lifting it out of the oven. I could have been seriously hurt. I'm finding out more and more that this is occurring with pyrex dishes. They need to get to the bottom of what the problem is and get these off the market until the situation is resolved!

Cooking a $12.00 tip oven roast at 325. Button wasn't popping up, raised temp per 4 other recipes to 425... In 6 minutes, button popped up and glass shattered simultaneously!! Second time Pyrex broke in oven. Last time a pie plate for Quiche... Expensive loss!!!

After baking some chicken in the oven I pulled the Pyrex glass out of the oven and left it over the counter. The glass exploded 30 sec afterwards. I was lucky I was giving my back to the glass and all the pieces hit me in my back... 30 seconds later it would have exploded in my face.

When baking mushrooms at 350 degrees, I reached into the oven to check on them and turn the pan around. As soon as I touched the Pyrex, it shattered completely. The stove and floor are covered in glass. This is outrageous and unsafe -- I will never purchase Pyrex again for myself or as a gift.

Was roasting a chicken on a rack and had put it in the oven with a little bit of water on the bottom of the Pyrex dish to keep the drippings from splattering. About a half hour later, my husband went to refill the dish with warm tap water when the whole dish exploded all over the kitchen. Thank goodness he didn't get hurt. I understand that glass can break and that it shouldn't be subject from one temperature extreme to the other at once, but what's the use of using Pyrex if you can't even roast a chicken without the threat of hot glass and chicken flying into your eyeballs?

I received the 4 bowl set with lids about 2 years ago as a gift. Yesterday, I made a salad for a party using the largest bowl and put it in the fridge for about 6 hrs. It sat on the table at room temp for about 2-2.5 hrs. during the party. Then I washed it by hand in warm (not hot) dishwater and put it away. About an hour later the bottom of that bowl shattered in the cupboard with 2 intact bowls still inside it. Fortunately, I came up with the idea of sliding a flat cookie sheet under the broken bowl to control the spread of glass shards while we gently lowered this ridiculous mess into a box while removing the intact bowls from inside it! I now have about 20 large, potentially lethal pieces of glass in my garbage can, including the disgustingly jagged remnant of the upper part of the bowl itself! There is clearly something terribly wrong with the manufacturing of Pyrex products!!

Pyrex jar exploded ... brand new. On the dry pan after been wash. Not exposed to heat or cold...at room temperature. Glass spikes got stuck hard into stainless steel sink. It made a big noise...bang, crash. We bought it at Big Lots in Chula Vista, CAL for 2.50 plus tax.

I was baking a chicken in a new Pyrex Baking dish for the first time and when it was almost done I heard a loud Crash, and hot fluid hissing inside my oven, then smoke and steam blowing out the front, then the smoke alarms going off!! The dish had literally EXPLODED inside my oven, leaving the chicken sitting there on the rack with glass stuck or melted to it, and hundreds of pieces of shattered glass everywhere in the oven! Thank God it didn't do this when I had the door open!! Now I have to have a repairman come to take the oven apart to clean up all the liquid and glass that went under the bottom panel in the oven! Somebody's gonna pay for this! I will NEVER use Pyrex again! The rest of that set of dishes is going in the TRASH! My cat did not come out from under the bed for 2 1/2 hours after that. It scared her so bad! Anyone know who I can contact at Pyrex to get this taken care of, file a complaint with them or whatever? Thanks!

I took a clear, rectangular Pyrex pan from the oven to the sink. I then turned on the water to cool the pan. It then burst into hundreds of pieces - from larger chunks to tiny shards! I did this in the sink and some of the pieces fell into the garbage disposal!

This morning we are still shaken! Last night I placed two Pyrex dishes in a 375 oven with two separate chicken casseroles. When I opened oven to check after 30 minutes one of the dishes - a pie plate - was shattered into dozens of pieces. While waiting for oven to cool to remove broken pieces they EXPLODED into more fragments. Food was not cold. Dishes were not cold. I did not use on burner or under broiler. I had never heard of this problem but now ALL my Pyrex and Corning ware are in the trash. (I will especially miss using big Pyrex measuring cup to heat water in micro, but from other reports it sounds like that's dangerous too?) The glass fragments were in the hinge of the oven door, in the oven below the affected one and on the floor in front of the stove. We worked carefully for at least an hour to clean up and no one was injured but it's easy to see how we could have been.

Newer 9x13 glass Pyrex the kind with the red lids, in oven for 25 minutes baking cake for birthday. Timer went off and just as I reached in with oven mitts to remove it explode it a bunch of tiny pieces. I was burned on my arms and face by bits of flying food. I received small cut to my right thumb while trying to scoop the broken glass and cake with a big spoon and cookie sheet. Had to run to the store at 10 at night to buy a cake for the am! I got the set awhile ago and do not have the receipt any longer. I won't be purchasing Pyrex again. It scared the hell out of me.

Today 2/25/2015 I baked two small chicken breast in the oven for about one hour. So I took the glass dish out and sat it on the stove, As soon as I turned glass exploded. I went to grab my phone and took pictures.

We were cooking fish in oven at 475 degrees, which we have done MANY times. It was in the oven for 12 minutes. Just before it was supposed to be removed from the oven, we heard a strange noise in the oven. When we opened the oven door, the baking dish had exploded, with glass shards on the bottom of the oven and on the oven rack. Another 30 seconds and we would have opened the oven door to remove it. Luckily only our dinner was ruined.

I let food cool and let stand for 45 minutes then refrigerated. When I took it out of refrigerator I noticed the crack. This was 6 months old if that so disappointed in this product.

Placed 2 liter Pyrex glass bowl in microwave for 3 mins. Glass handle melted. See picture. Bizarre.

Made four pans of enchiladas. Took 1 pan out of oven placed on counter and it explode all over and glass contaminated two more pans causing me to have to throw out dinner! Thank heavens no one was hurt. Glass is everywhere even in stove. Completely shocked. Been using Pyrex for years and never had Pyrex explode! I buy Pyrex cause it is guaranteed not to break. Now afraid to use Pyrex.

I have been using Pyrex glass cookware for years. A couple weeks ago I bought another glass lid, used it today for the first time in the oven. I covered pyrex glass dish with it and the new lid exploded. The dish itself withstood extensive oven use throughout the years and it still looks like new. What do you make the new stuff with??? This product is highly dangerous! Picture attached.

I've been using for years the mixing bowls in the oven and microwave. The pots on the stove to cook rice and sauces. The skillets for frying and sauteing. I've burned food in a pan and pot without either exploding. Round, rectangular, and square casserole pans in the oven. I have a small piece I bought unknowingly with a hair line crack that l'll use only for serving. Fingers crossed, I'll continue to have no problems.

I was making oven roasted potatoes in my Pyrex glass pan. The oven temp was set at 400 and was in the oven for 35 minutes. When I went to remove the pan from the oven I set the pan on top of the glass top stove on the side in which I did not use, the pan shattered. I had to throw away my entire dinner that i was cooking for 7. The entire kitchen had glass everywhere. No one was hurt thank god, but someone could have been hurt if they were standing there when the pan shattered. I have no receipt for the cost of the pan and the loss of the food.

Last night I put together a casserole with several whole chicken breasts. All ingredients were about room temperature. After baking for about 40 minutes I took it out and let it cool for a few minutes. After slicing into the chicken, I saw that it could use a few more minutes, so I turned the oven back on and put the chicken back in. After probably ten minutes the pan exploded into thousands of pieces! I'm just grateful that I don't think it damaged my expensive oven. There was plenty of liquid in the pan, and there was certainly no dramatic temperature change. There is no good reason for this happening. Not only was it terrifying, but it ruined the entire meal, and entire night. I'm just glad no one was hurt...

I was just sitting watching tv, eating yogurt out of my 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup. I measured out my yogurt in the cup and since my dishwasher is currently broken, I decided just to eat right out of the cup. I was holding the handle and eating the yogurt and the cup violently exploded in my hand. I find it shocking that a Pyrex would be affected by the heat of my hand. I don't keep my house hot but it's not freezing in here. So I can't believe that just the heat of my hand vs the cold yogurt or room temp would do that.

On Sunday, my wife baked a cake in a 9 x 13 Pyrex baking dish. Took it out of the oven and let it cool. Monday morning I was able to slice a piece for my lunch. Came home Monday evening had dinner and cleaned up the kitchen. The cake was sitting on a counter away from the stove and near no other heat source. About an hour later I heard a loud bang come from the kitchen, luckily no one was in that room at the time. The Pyrex baking dish the cake was in had exploded and there was glass all over the entire kitchen. I will never buy a new Pyrex product again.

I have used this same dish (9x13) on many occasions to bake lasagna. I did not change any aspect of the recipe, and the oven was the same one I have had since living in my home. The dish had been in the oven for 55 minutes. I did not turn the oven off. I had just reached for the door to pull it out when it exploded quite violently. I am extremely grateful I had not yet opened the door. Shards of glass were everywhere; I ended up using a shop vac to be certain all the small grains were completely gone. I had to use a cookie sheet to get the broken dish out and even as I was moving it the larger pieces continued to shatter. I noticed reading some of the reviews the breakage was occurring after the user had already removed the dish from the heat; the manufacturers have been attempting to use this as an excuse to blame the problem on the consumer.

After putting a peach cobbler in our new 9x13 casserole dish and putting it in a 350 degree oven, it immediately began cracking into lots pieces which started crumbling and falling to the bottom of the oven. Never have I seen anything like it, as it shouldn't have done this. It was not exposed to thermal stock, either.

I was preheating oil in preparation to bake cornbread. I took the preheated pyrex from the oven and placed it on the cooktop. I turned to get the bowl of cornbread mixture when the Pyrex exploded, sending shards of glass all over the stovetop, floor and counter. Thankfully no one was injured but it was very unsettling. I've continued to use Pyrex but must confess I'm still nervous every time I use it. This happened about a year ago. I just saw a post and picture on Facebook by a friend who just had the same experience. I'm concerned that Pyrex might be using substandard manufacturing practices now.

I emailed you in Dec after having a glass Pyrex pan crack after sitting it on the counter. At that time your response was you were too busy to reply. I think by now I should have received an answer. This was a very dangerous situation.

I had a large glass Pyrex measuring cup and it exploded in my cupboard last night for no reason. It had been sitting there for several days with nothing touching it. I heard a loud glass shattering noise and couldn't figure out what broke until morning when I opened the cupboard door. It blew glass everywhere and it wasn't just in several pieces, it was in thousands of tiny pieces. I have always just used it for room temperature and refrigerated ingredients, so it has never been exposed to extreme temperatures.

I had made pot roast in slow cooker - cooking on low for 8 hours. Turned it off and unplugged it. Removed meat to slice and placed in medium Pyrex bowl. Poured broth, potatoes and carrots to fill bowl. Covered with lid and placed in refrigerator - no problem. Used medium rectangular Pyrex for remaining food. As soon as the food hit the bowl it exploded and threw glass throughout my kitchen. Luckily it didn't go upward. Shard of glass embedded in my sweater which cut my hand.

I was taking a pre-sliced turkey breast out of the oven after cooking for 30 minutes. I reached in to pull the dish out and it exploded in my hand.

I finished cooking and emptying dish. 2 hours after removing dish from oven, I ran hot water into dish in the sink to wash the dish. In 1 1/2 to 2 minutes the dish just exploded. Pieces hit me in my face, arm, chest and some shattered glass was in my open toe & back shoes and was in the bottom of my foot. It was one of the most frightening experiences of my life. I had to go to the internet with my experience.

On 12-24-14 I had received a set of Pyrex bake and store as a gift to myself and was excited that I had finally got to open the gift from myself to use as I made Christmas diner for the whole family. I had been using Pyrex for many years and was not only pleased but also very aware how to properly use the dishes. I had prepared a casserole and it was time to take the dish from the oven. I had my dressing in the oven at the same time. When I opened the oven door the dish exploded into a million pieces and shot glass all in my face, all in my dressing, and all in the floor.

Pre-heated oven to 375 degrees. I made a potato au gratin casserole and placed it in pre-heated oven, after 25 min I opened door to check on it and the dish literally exploded and made a huge mess in my oven, with glass shards everywhere. I was lucky to not get hit with any of the glass. This bakeware is unsafe and should be recalled.

I had baked stuffed clams in my Pyrex cake pan and when I took the pan out and placed it on the counter, the cake pan just shattered and glass flew everywhere. I had to throw the whole meal in the garbage and find something else for dinner as the glass flew into the clams. I always thought Pyrex was safe and would not break. The picture shows it is Pyrex.

I prepared a casserole in a 9x13 easy grip glass Pyrex casserole dish. The oven was preheated to 350 when I put the casserole in. I set the timer for 20 minutes (although the casserole would need to bake for 45 minutes total), to check it half way through. With about 2 minutes left on the timer (18 minutes total cook time), I heard a LOUD EXPLOSION! I ran to the kitchen and was afraid to open the oven door.

I had made homemade soup. I cooled soup down and then put it in bowl. Let sit on counter for a while. Later I went into refrigerator and the bowl exploded all over me. I had just purchased some new Pyrex from a gift card. I am taking my purchase back to the store. I bought the pan to bake with my granddaughter. I'm glad the bowl broke as a warning to not use pyrex ever.

I pre-heated my oven. And put some Texas toast not even frozen in the pan. Placed in oven. About five minutes later I hear a huge bang. I opened the oven door to find my pan in multiple pieces. I pushed the pan onto a cookie sheet to remove from the oven. Once it was out and on top of stove more explosions happens sending glass shards all over my kitchen with my one year old standing nearby. My husband tried to help me take it outside but cut his arm as a piece exploded again while moving it.

Tonight I removed a Pyrex dish from my room temperature cabinet and tried to cook a casserole. I assembled fresh ingredients and placed the dish in the oven. The dish was in the oven approx. 5 minutes before it exploded, leaving a mess all over my oven. I purchased the set of Pyrex last year at a kitchen store located in the Commerce, GA Tanger Outlet. I had used Pyrex dishes in the past without any problem. I have made this casserole in other Pyrex dishes (from the 80's) and Corning Ware dishes in the past. I am upset, because I now have a mess to clean up, lost my time and money putting this dish together, and I have to throw out everything in my kitchen that is Pyrex (Don't want a repeat). This item is dangerous.

I had two chicken breast in a glass Pyrex 8x8x2 dish in the oven on 400. The usual way I have cooked chicken breast for years. When done I reached into my oven took out the dish and set it up on top of my stove. No sooner did I let go of the dish and I felt it give way in my hands with the mitt on and the whole dish broke into pieces with flying glass! I was shocked as well as my husband. We had never seen Pyrex do this, so I took a picture of it. Put it on Facebook only to hear a few others comment that they too had the same thing happen to them more than once using Pyrex glass dishes.

Tonight on Christmas Eve, we had three Pyrex casserole dishes in the oven. All of a sudden, one of them shattered in a million pieces and ruined all the food in the oven. We are shocked and disappointed. What gives?

I was baking a cut pumpkin cut side down in my trusty Pyrex baking dish and after about 30 min in the oven I heard a loud crack, explosive type noise. I opened the oven and the baking dish was in many pieces all over the oven shelf and floor. I am at least relieved the oven door was closed. The food item was not cold when it went into the dish. The oven was at 350 degrees. Just thought someone would want to know. Not sure if I did anything wrong. This baking dish was at least 5-6 years old, no cracks, dings, or other damage prior to this incident.

I was cooking some meat in the oven and had to take it out to add additional ingredients, which I had done several times before. As I was putting in the additional ingredients, the pyrex dish shattered into a thousand pieces. Fortunately, it was on my stove so the glass was not spread all over the floor. I have 3 dogs and as soon as it broke they came in to lick up the food. I had read this happening to others but was shocked when it occurred to me.

A week ago, my wife was heating canned soup in the microwave using a 1.75-quart Pyrex bowl (a very common occurrence in our house). As she was finishing eating the soup, she felt something hard in her mouth and discovered a 1/4" - 1/2" thin shard of glass. In checking the bottom of the bowl, my wife found additional shards of glass. I inspected the bowl and found places along the rim that were no longer rounded and smooth. Apparently, the glass had "come loose" from the edge and dropped into the soup. I have contacted the company but to date, I have not received an acknowledgement or a reply.

After my 9 x 13 Pyrex baking dish sat on the counter overnight, at 5:30 am the next morning it exploded waking my husband and I up thinking our kitchen cabinet fell onto the floor. We found broken glass all over the floor and counter with just the bottom of the pan showing spider like cracks throughout. Luckily no one was handling it when it exploded. This incident does not instill any confidence in your product as if it was in the refrigerator with food in it, the consequences would be terrible.

I was so happy that I had a nice set of Pyrex I bought at Costco earlier this year. Now I am scared to use any of the other items. I used the medium size baking pan last night for an echilada casserole and the pan shattered in the oven while it was cooking last night. Needless to say we had no dinner and about an hour's worth of clean up. :(

I recently was BAKING meat in the oven and I needed to add some liquid. I started adding HOT water and the dish exploded into a million pieces. I was very fortunate that I was not hurt or burnt. I do have a gas oven and now I have a lot of glass in the bottom of my oven. I cannot get to it. I did not save a receipt. The dish was a 9x13 baking dish. All I have left is the covered top. I did not take pictures.

Last year, Christmas time, I was at my parent's home in Florida and I attempted to warm up some leftovers in the microwave in a green Pyrex dish. I only cooked it for 90 seconds and when I took the dish out of the microwave it literally exploded in my hands! A shard of glass embedded in the palm of my hand and it began bleeding quite a bit. It hurt a great deal and I remember being shocked at the explosion because Pyrex is supposed to be microwave safe. I'm quite certain it was an older piece of Pyrex but it seems rather dangerous for consumers that own Pyrex (old or new) if they are not warned of this potential for explosion. I could have been seriously injured. I had never heard of this happening until this morning when it was on the news because the same thing happened to a family in Atlanta and a boy injured his eye.

Today I placed two marinated organic chicken breasts in a square glass pyrex baking dish. I had lined the pan with foil and covered the top with foil also. To make clean up easier as 'everything' sticks to Pyrex, and to keep the moisture in the chicken. After the chicken was cooked at 350 degrees I removed the dish from oven and placed on the wooden cutting board on counter top. Moments later the dish BLEW UP. Thankfully the aluminum foil on top prevented it from coming right at my face. However it blew out all around. Glass everywhere all over the floor, table, counter. Hitting me and bouncing off my clothing. I have video of the after effects. I won't be baking with Pyrex any longer. I have done this for many years and never had this problem before. I see many others have had similar situations. I am sorry for those who were injured and so grateful that I was not. Some of the shards of glass were very sharp like daggers.

I was baking a beautiful $47.89 steak and 10 minutes into it I hear a loud scary noise. I ran to kitchen and the oven glass has cracked. When I open it the pyrex tray has blew up in many pieces, I was surprise and angry. This ruin my dinner and now am afraid to use this products. It happen today!!! So upset.

I was rearranging dirty dishes in my dishwasher to make room for more. I took hold of the handle of the Pyrex jug when it just literally exploded in my hand. Broken glass and shards were all around me and across the room on the floor and covered my hands and all the dirty dishes. I was lucky that my husband was home to help me get all the glass out of me. He was still finding glass in my toes half an hour after the event.

Last night my granddaughter and I baked a cake in one of my favorite Pyrex glass pan. I took it out the oven, set it on the stove, and it exploded! My granddaughter & I are lucky to be alive! My glass Pyrex pan exploded just a few minutes after taking it out of the oven! It sent chunks and shards of glass, as well as cake, all over me, my granddaughter & my kitchen! I'm so thankful that my granddaughter only got a cut on her foot, she was less than 2 feet away from the pan! O.M.G, it literally sounded like a bomb had blown up in my kitchen! I grabbed my granddaughter and ran! I checked her all over for cuts and glass! She had a cut on her foot, that’s it, thank God! It could have easily been so much worse! And ever since last night’s horrific experience, she's scared to go in the kitchen now. :/ I can't believe this actually happened! I've used these pans for years! Never ever again! This scared the hell out of me and I will NEVER use Pyrex EVER again!

I placed my 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave to soften butter (as I have done hundreds of times) - after 30 seconds I heard what sounded like an bomb going off - it was my Pyrex exploding in the microwave!! Thousands of pieces of shattered glass!!! I have used Pyrex dishware/cookware since the 70s and have many vintage pieces which have never given me cause or concern. This piece was one of the newer ones that I'd purchased - never again!!

I am devastated! I was so proud to have found this set of Pyrex bakeware on sale just before Thanksgiving Day. I used the middle pan to bake this beautiful loaf of cornbread. Took it out of the oven, sat it on the cooling rack away from the oven. Turned my back, and then....BAM! It simply exploded! I stood there in complete shock. Glass was everywhere. All over the cabinet, the floor -- bread and glass just everywhere! For a minute, I thought I had a ghost! I have never, EVER witnessed an entire baking dish explode in my life! I was too hurt and too shocked to figure out what had just took place. I just began cleaning the glass and bread up--cutting my fingers in the process. Mind you, I had the other two pieces of Pyrex bakeware in the oven with mac and cheese in one pan, and sweet potato souffle in the other. I was so afraid the other two would explode, I just stopped cooking them. Took them out of the oven, threw away the food, and started over with aluminum baking pans. I was too angry and too mad to cry. Food is too expensive to waste, let alone buying Pyrex bakeware that simply explodes. NEVER AGAIN!! NEVER!!!

Thanksgiving dinner: Mac and cheese, green bean casserole, mashed sweet potatoes and mashed white potatoes and dressing in the oven to heat. Kerrrrpow! Explosion! It was my dressing. I make from scratch. Cornbread, white bread, rice, onion, celery, garlic, spices, etc. Glass and dressing all over the oven. Terrible mess. Had to throw together a made up dressing. All of my other dishes had covers on them, thankfully!! Thanks to my dear guests and the rest of my food, our Thanksgiving meal was a success. I have used Pyrex baking for 50 years. Never, never again. This particular dish was not one of my Old, Old ones. Maybe only one old!

Nice way to end Thanksgiving. Had two turkey breasts each in their own Pyrex. 1/2 through cooking, we heard a giant BANG. One had completely exploded in the oven, shooting the smallest shards of glass all over both Turkeys. Pulled the other out of the oven and luckily had oven mitts on because it shattered just as I was carrying it over to the counter. 350 degree oven, nothing different from any other cooking day - except thanksgiving was ruined. Never will buy Pyrex glassware again.

I was in the kitchen and heard a small explosion in the oven. To my surprise it was my Favorite Baking Dish by Pyrex. I have been a loyal consumer/customer since the early 1960's. Very, very upsetting since I ruined my new wooden floor, glass shards everywhere, as I attempted to pick up the dish I sliced my finger. So to end the story my Thanksgiving will be an everlasting memory to my family.

Ruined our Thanksgiving meal!! Had the Pyrex in the oven with sweet potatoes, pulled out and set on wooden cutting board to cool while carving the turkey. Out of nowhere a loud noise... The Pyrex dish exploded!! Glass shards all over the kitchen... Had to throw over half the meal away because of glass getting in the food. Will be telling everyone I know to never use this brand!! Thanks Pyrex for an unforgettable thanksgiving. :(

As I found this page while looking for Pyrex Customer Service, I realize that this is not some isolated occurrence. I was cooking a Cod fish fillet yesterday. Had the oven on for 450 degrees F. The fish fillet was uncovered and had some grape seed oil on it. About 15 minutes into the cook, I heard a very loud explosion sound. When I looked at the oven, it was filled with smoke and fire. For some reason I decided to try to open oven door but then heard more sounds of explosion and broken glass. I thought something was wrong with my oven. I immediately turned it off. After a couple of minutes, I saw the smoke clear and opened the oven door. To my surprise and amazement, the glass dish was completely destroyed and in pieces. The fish was covered in glass. I let it cool and inspected the oven. It seems ok, but has the glass and burned oil all over it. It took me a while to clean it out. I took a few pictures to show my wife but then realized I can share them here as well. Stay away from Pyrex. I am throwing out the 2 other glass dishes I found in my kitchen. I think I got lucky that it exploded in the oven before I had taken it out of there.

My dinner was ruined last night after the Pyrex pan shattered in the oven. I have heard about this happening but had never personally encountered it. My chicken breasts were about halfway done cooking when I heard something strange but couldn't figure out what it was. I didn't realize what it was until about twenty minutes later I opened the stove and found a horrible mess inside. I had a liquid concoction cooking in the pan with them that got all over my stove as well as the glass shards that are all over inside. It looks like a bomb went off inside my stove.

I followed the instructions for not exposing my 'new' pyrex pie dish to extreme temperatures. The oven was at 325. The impossible apple pie cooked for an hour. I took the pie out and set it on thick hot mats. After about 10 minutes we heard a pssshhh and then a loud popping explosion as pieces of the pie dish were cast around the kitchen... on the counter and on the floor. Luckily, no one was in the range for the pieces of glass that were thrown. However, the pie, which was to be dessert for a family gathering was no longer something we could serve.

30 minutes into cooking, I opened the oven door to check on my Cornish hen and as I pulled out the dish, it exploded all over my oven. No more cooking with pyrex for us even though we have used this dish for years.

I have read reviews that tell you not to put a hot Pyrex dish on a cold counter. That was not the problem. The baking dish I was using exploded in the oven after about 20 minutes of cooking. Not only are we out dinner and the expense of it, but we have about an hour of glass to clean up after the oven cools down. I will never buy the Pyrex brand again!

I was transferring a piece of meat from a Pyrex baking dish (that it had cooked in) to a Pyrex storage container with a lid that was on a counter ON TOP of an oven mitt. The meat was not in the Pyrex storage container for but a minute when the glass shattered underneath. The meat was not scalding hot, but it was still warm, and the storage container was not cold, it was room temperature. I was so taken aback that I didn't get a picture. This is ridiculous. At least no one in the kitchen was hurt, but when it shattered the shards of glass got all in the meat and I had to throw away a perfectly (amazingly cooked, I might add) beef roast. This is the first time it has happened to me. I know others have had it happen before too. I also know that Pyrex changed their formula from borosilicate glass to soda-lime glass, which has less thermal range. VERY disappointing when a company touts that they are still manufacturing in the USA, but change their formula to save some bucks.

Pyrex dish exploded in oven leaving a mess and ruining family dinner.

Had just finished baking a loaf of bread with my new Pyrex loaf pan. While transferring it from the oven to the cooling rack it exploded, glass everywhere. I highly recommend avoiding Pyrex products. They've definitely lost me as a customer.

Dinner was in the oven tonight in a Pyrex baking dish, that is about 2 years old, when it suddenly exploded in the oven. Luckily the oven door was closed and it didn't happen while removing the dish. Food was ruined and the oven now needs to be cleaned.

I had just made Mexican Cornbread in my Pyrex dish. I was set it on top of the stove on to cool. My daughter and husband were in the kitchen carving a pumpkin for Halloween. All of a sudden there was a loud noise. The dish shattered and glass went everywhere. Luckily they were not closer to the stove or they could have been seriously injured. It scared my four year old to death (me too). I decided to investigate to see what could have caused this and I found this site. I will not be using glass baking dishes again.

This is my second pyrex to shatter in two years. I still have an old pan from 1992 that has never shattered and the new ones I have purchased last Christmas have both shattered. I thought it was a fluke that the first shattered 4 months into cooking but when the second one shattered today after using the same recipe I have had enough. I will no longer use pyrex at all.

Preheated the oven at 180 degrees. Added beef and liquids to the clear glass Pyrex dish. I have used this dish before and followed the care instructions. About 10min into bake time I heard a bang. The dish has completely exploded. Meat and sauce AND glass everywhere! I won't be buying anything Pyrex again.

I have had this particular Pyrex dish for years - around 8 years or so - and was using it this evening to hold ramekins for chicken pot pie when all of a sudden the Pyrex dish exploded in my oven. I have used this dish for years and for countless recipes and this is not the first time I've used it to hold ramekins. Very upset that any dish could ever explode and because of this experience I will be ridding myself of the rest of my Pyrex glass dish ware. This is one surprise that I don't ever want to experience again. Thankfully I had just closed my oven when it exploded, I don't want to imagine what could have happened had it exploded while I was peering in. Luckily only dinner was ruined and I now have countless shards of glass to remove from my oven.

Well I have to say I have been reading comments about exploding Pyrex dishes/jugs, etc and people saying they DON'T explode, they do!! My husband and I are living proof that THEY Explode alright!! Last night I took my unused Pyrex measuring jug from my draining board as it had been used earlier in the day (approx 6 hours prior) and went to to put it in my dishwasher for a quick rinse. As I turned the jug upside down to lay it in the dishwasher the whole thing completely exploded in my hand!!!! I mean a loud BANG and blew completely to bits!! I was absolutely shocked this happened but then relieved none of the glass cut my dog who was very near to me and the fact it didn't go in mine or my husband's eyes!! I just can't quite believe this happened??!?! I should have took photos as not many would actually believe it, but this definitely did happen and it definitely did explode for NO REASON in my hand! Bizarre!?! I have the shards of tiny pieces of glass in my arm today to prove it!

This past Saturday I purchased the Easy Grab set to prepare for a dinner party I was hosting last night, Tuesday, October 21st. One of the dishes I prepared was a spinach pasta bake. The Pyrex remained at room temperature until it was placed with all ingredients into a preheated oven of 400 degrees. After being in the oven for 4 minutes, the entire Pyrex exploded. There was glass everywhere and it continued to pop and burst until basically there was nothing left. Not only was my dinner party ruined, but now my oven is going to need to be professionally cleaned to have all of the ingredients and glassed cleaned up. I cannot believe they would even put a product on the shelf that would "explode" in an oven. Pyrex claims their products are microwave, oven, and fridge safe. This is FALSE. I cannot believe there are so many Pyrex complaints out there yet the company claims it is "user error"?

My roast chicken was in the oven for 20 minutes in my "favorite" pyrex dish. I opened the door to add a little water to it (like I've done many times before) and heard the cracking. Before my very eyes, my dish just fell apart! Chicken juices spilled in the oven, glass was flying around and my smoke alarm went off. Needless to say, the experience scared me to death! I am lucky I was not cut or severely burned and that only my dinner was ruined. But now I have glass shards in my oven slots that I can't get out. I hope my oven is ok....Now I read online that these experiences are quite common! Pyrex, what is going on?!?! Pyrex customer no more.

Our Pyrex dish was placed in the preheated oven 20 min. We took it out to check the roasting vegetables, but the dish did not have the time to reach the kitchen bench, it exploded all over it before even touching the wooden board. Difficult to believe! It was the 3rd time we used the dish. Pyrex was until this very moment such a trusted brand for us. How could their glass engineering team/raw material purchasing department let this happen? Is it just one of their glass providers that went rogue on their back without been detected. Or did they take shortcuts on their testing procedures? Beyond the security issues it raises for millions of customers, how are they explaining it to their shareholders? We are trashing the other brand-new Pyrex dish we bought altogether as we don't want any other person to face the same experience. At the level of global production/transport/distribution of such product, what a waste! We will be looking forward to Pyrex corrective actions.

I intended to bake a pan of oven-fried chicken. Turned the stove 350, started the prep, looked up recipe then turned temp up to 425. Grabbed my trusty newer Pyrex pan, dropped a stick of butter in it, and popped it in the oven to melt. I noted that the oven was not yet up to temp so the lower heating unit was still on. Shortly thereafter I heard a bang from the oven. When I opened the door, the shattered glass was everywhere and the butter hadn't even all melted yet. I've done this dish 100 times but maybe not with this dish since I have another older one. I considered that it was my fault because the oven wasn't up to temp yet, but I know I've melted the butter in the pan before while the heater was warming up. Like others on this chain, I won't buy another Pyrex baking dish and will be sure never to throw out my older one. Not worth the risk of harm to anyone.

Made a batch of brownies in my 8x8 Pyrex dish. Oven set @350 - it wasn't in the oven more than 10 minutes when I heard rattling of my oven shelves. I opened the door to find my dish exploded and shatter (10/09/14). VERY DISAPPOINTED. Never had this happen before.

I preheated my oven at 350 for a rotisserie chicken, and my Pyrex dish EXPLODED not even 10-15 mins in the oven!! I am pissed off. Our meal was ruined and the clean up was very frustrating. Pyrex has to do something about this as I see it's over 1300 complaints. One less Pyrex user, me.

My wife was cooking a potato dish in a long Pyrex glass cookware. It was not an older, quality one, but a newer purchase (probably within the last 8 years or so). I believe the temperature was at 350 degrees. On its own, after about 30 minutes, the glassware made a loud explosion sound within the oven. She did nothing to disturb or affect the glassware. She opened the door to find what is shown in the attached picture. There was also a lot of glass at the bottom of the oven.

Last night we had our second encounter with Pyrex bakeware. We had just set the hot dish on the counter and just started to take the lid off when it exploded everywhere. The first time was a few years ago and a dish had just been pulled out of the oven and set on top the stove. I picked it up and looked under it at the bottom to see if it was done and as I started lowering it, it exploded. Thankfully it wasn't near my face at that moment or it could have been devastating. Since we had our second incident last night I decided to do some research and was shocked when I discovered how often this is happening. And the ones that are documented are probably just a small percentage of the actual number of cases. Something needs to be done! I will not use glass again!

I made some lasagna last night. I put it in the oven at 350. It was only in there for 40 minutes and I was checking on it. I closed my oven and not even 1 minute later, it exploded. I will never use them again and it cost me a lot of money to fix that meal. It all was a waste.

I baked an Apple Pie as I have for 30 years in a new Pyrex Pie Plate. I always place the pie on a baking sheet because my pies are so juicy, they usually bubble over. I removed the pie, on the baking sheet, onto the burner grates on top of my stove to cool - again, as I've done 100 times with my stoneware and aluminum pie plates. Pyrex pie plate EXPLODED around my pie, over the stove and counter! It's not as if I placed the hot pie onto something cold. It was still on the hot baking sheet. It's a crappy & dangerous product.

We have some real old Pyrex from my wife's grandmother, great stuff, but this new pyrex is dangerous garbage. The other night we heard something pinging in the kitchen, couldn't figure out what it was, until we saw a bunch of tiny glass shards all over the floor. We had a couple large pyrex bowls on a shelf and upon inspecting the large bowl we found the top rim was all uneven, there is a seam at the top rim and the glass just exploded. We've never used this bowl in the oven or microwave and none of this pyrex is that old. I inspected some other sized bowls and sure enough the top rims are all chewed up. DEADLY GARBAGE, WE'LL BE THROWING ALL THIS DANGEROUS JUNK OUT. Hopefully I didn't eat any of this glass. PYREX, YOU SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS.

Making dinner tonight... opened the oven which was set at 425. As I opened the dish exploded into a million pieces.... dinner was ruined... just thankful I didn't get in my face and thankful my 4 year old just left the kitchen! This was the 2nd time this happened to me... horrible mess and two meals wasted!

I had left it on the counter with room temps tire food in it. Covered it with foil. I had company and left it out till the morning and for some reason it randomly exploded all over my kitchen. Then it continued to explode even the pieces that were on the ground.

I was cooking an eggplant dish and had rested a room temperature oiled Pyrex dish on top of my stove while the oven was preheating. The burner wasn't on. In a few minutes, there was a sound like a window breaking and the dish exploded all over my kitchen into tiny and large glass shards. The shards were found as far as 15 feet away on the floor. I had been on the other side of my kitchen and sustained some cuts on my leg from flying glass. This was a nightmare to clean up and left me shaken and injured. The warnings on Pyrex need to use the word "explosion" to truly convey how dangerous these products can be.

I set two matching Pyrex baking dishes out of the oven, got a serving spoon and plate, dished out portions from both (probably @ one minute), set the plate over on the table and was coming back to fill another plate, when this dish exploded with a deafening noise. It threw the heavier serving spoon out in the floor, and everything within a certain perimeter was covered with glass (and food too)...it even embedded in the ceiling and fell down later. Thankfully, I hadn't taken those last several steps yet, that would have put me in front of it, so that's the only good thing.

Last weekend we place a room temperature 9 x 13 Pyrex casserole dish filled with Tomatoes, Onions and Herbs in a preheated 400 degree oven for roasting. 10 minutes later the smoke alarm went off in the kitchen and we opened the oven to find the dish had exploded and thousands of pieces of glass throughout the oven and the food was everywhere. This was in the middle of a dinner party and the clean up involved a couple of people getting cut trying to remove all the glass. Very disturbing to think this could have happened outside of the oven. Most certainly would have caused injury to our guests in our crowded kitchen. The Pyrex dish was purchased two years ago as a 2 piece set (9x13 and a 8 x8 square). I am definitely getting rid of the square dish. Not taking any chances! Only using my LeCreuset stoneware and Calphalon in the future!!! There should def be a RECALL on the Pyrex!

Pyrex brown glass dish - My husband was cooking chicken for dinner when we heard a loud popping noise come from the oven. He opened the oven and there was glass all over the chicken and the oven. Our dinner was ruined and we had to make something else to eat! It was a mess to clean up in the oven!

8 x 8 glass Pyrex pan exploded in my oven yesterday. Oven was set at 400 degrees. After 20 mins, pan busted into tiny pieces! Luckily, I wrapped my chicken in foil before I placed it on Pyrex pan so my dinner was salvageable ;). I would have hired an attorney if anyone were injured by this defective cookware.

I have had pyrex containers for years and I never knew that it could shatter just like that until yesterday when my husband described the pyrex container to have "EXPLODED" and left him hurt and bleeding at several places, thankfully nothing major.. I assumed it might be just one off case, but out of curiosity when I googled, I see several such complaints. I never subject them to major temperature changes, so I don't understand what could have caused it.. Had anyone got any answers from Pyrex or any place we can escalate these complaints.. Should we just throw away all our pyrex containers?

Yesterday I experienced an exploding Pyrex baking dish. Shortly after I placed a freshly made pan of eggplant parmesan in the oven to finish baking, I heard a very loud sound coming from the oven area. I soon discovered that the dish was in shards and slivers galore! I googled to see if there had been a recall on this product. I am shocked to learn that this is an ongoing common problem yet nothing has been addressed by the manufacturer! The consumer seems to get the blame! I did nothing wrong (The dish itself is fairly new with possible 3 uses!) The oven was preheated. The ingredients were freshly made and still warm. There was certainly enough liquid in the dish. I was not happy! I grew the eggplant. I grew the tomatoes. I was anticipating a delicious dinner! I had no idea that this was/is apparently an ongoing issue! Please share this known possible occurrence with friends and family as this could have been worse!

Tonight I baked chicken in a Pyrex dish at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. I took it out of the oven and as I was placing it on the counter, it exploded in my hand. Shards of glass flew all over my kitchen and I was left holding only the handle. I was so upset I decided to write to the manufacturer and when I googled "exploding Pyrex" I am completely shocked at how prevalent and widespread this problem truly is. This is a HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!!! What if I had a small child standing in the kitchen when this happened? What action is being taken to get this garbage off our store shelves once and for all? How many people have to suffer from serious wounds for something to be done!!! Very angry here in Tampa, FL.

I have owned a Pyrex baking dish for at least 4 to 5 years. Tonight I did nothing different than any other night. I preheated the oven, lined the dish with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, put the food in the dish, and I put it in the preheated oven. About 50 minutes later I go to pull it out of the oven and just as I am about to place it on the stove there was this loud pop sound followed by crackling. The end that I was not holding shattered and pieces of glass went flying onto the floor and there was glass on the stove. The bottom of the dish was cracked all the way to the end that I had in hand and I am glad that I immediately placed it on the stove and walked away and would not let anyone enter the kitchen until the popping and crackling sound had stopped. It is scary to think about the fact that any of my children could have been close to me when this happened. I will not ever buy a glass bakeware again.

Heating up the last half of Shepherd Pie. After 20 minutes, took it out of the oven to cool on the stove top. Not even two minutes I placed it down - it completely EXPLODED!! THANK GOD MY BACK WAS turn away. Shards of glass was everywhere! We've taken pictures and going to the investigative report dept with our local TV station!

We were sitting down to dinner and my friend was putting sauce over spaghetti - she had in a Pyrex dish to use as a serving dish. We heard an explosive noise with glass pieces and spaghetti all over the stove and kitchen. The Pyrex dish was only used to hold the spaghetti and sauce. It had not been heated or chilled prior to putting the dinner in it. We were lucky no one got hurt. I had never heard anything about Pyrex exploding until I went on the internet to investigate. I'll never use Pyrex again and will let all of my friends know what can happen.

On 7/16/14 I purchased a 4.8 Qt., 15.2 in. x 10.1 in, x 1.9 in. Pyrex baking dish from Harris Teeter grocery store in Olney, MD. I followed the directions that came with the packaging. I prepared fish in a liquid sauce that covered the fish with white wine, butter, and vegetable broth. Parchment paper was loosely draped over the fish. Prior to cooking the fish in the oven, the Pyrex dish with the fish & cooking liquid was stored for about 2 hours in the refrigerator.

I made the same chicken dish that I often do. I removed the dish from the oven, placed it on top of the cool stove top then proceeded to remove another dish. Not 5 seconds after taking the Pyrex out of the oven, it exploded into thousands of pieces, sending boiling hot liquid flying everywhere. I'm shocked that I walked away unscathed because I honestly shouldn't have. I was directly in front of the dish when it exploded. Shards of glass flew 10 feet behind me, into the oven that I was standing in front of and in every other direction possible. I don't think my heart rate returned to normal for quite a while after the explosion. My husband and I spent roughly 2 hours cleaning our kitchen last night. Time that could have been spent doing any number of other things was instead spent picking shards of glass out of kitchen rugs and scrubbing the walls to rid them of melted butter and chicken remnants. I still cannot believe this happened.

While baking ribs in the oven in a glass pyrex baking dish, we were relaxing in the living room. We heard a loud noise come from the oven. I rushed in and looked inside and saw that the baking dish had completely shattered inside the oven! Our dinner was ruined not to mention the oven itself and loss of one of my favorite baking dishes. Totally unacceptable!!

I place pureed vegetables into the Pyrex cup which might have been mildly warm. There was approximately 6-7 cups worth. Then I took a ladle of the broth that was in the pot... It was NOT boiling, and added it to the Pyrex cup. A few moments later, it EXPLODED! The glass went everywhere. It was a miracle I was not hurt. I am concerned that others think Pyrex is safe. Having had this experience, I would never use a Pyrex product again. If it did this, what else might happen. I hope there will be a campaign to alert people to the false sense of safety and use of this product. It is a very dangerous material!

PLEASE THROW OUT YOUR PYREX Cooking & Baking Glass Pans!!! These pictures show what happened to me the other night. It exploded unexpectedly blasting shards of glass all over my kitchen...I had just baked a meatloaf and had taken it out of the oven to cool off on my stove top, which I had not used. I walked out of the kitchen for just a few minutes when the PYREX exploded! Thanking GOD for having me leave the kitchen when I did or else I would have been severely injured or worse killed from the flying shards of glass.

I picked up the Pyrex glass bowl in the sink to clean it. The thing spontaneously exploded in my hand requiring 4 stitches! The bowl had been at room temperature the whole time. Very scary and crazy!

This morning, while drinking our morning coffee on the couch, we heard a loud crash in the kitchen as if a cabinet shelf had collapsed. Opening a cabinet, we discovered the shelves were all in place, but our 4 qt. clear Pyrex mixing bowl had spontaneously exploded into hundreds of pieces! It had not been used in 3 weeks, was 5ft away from the only source of heat (the coffee maker), and only had 3 small, very light bowls (totaling less than a pound) stored inside it. (btw: We live in Florida and keep the AC steady between 76 -78 degrees Fahrenheit). The force of the "explosion" chipped one of the porcelain cups stored inches away from the bowl. What might have happened if the bowl had exploded while one of us had been reaching for an item in the cabinet?? Very disturbing...

I placed a clean pyrex dish on the granite. I added room temperature sauce to the bottom of the oblong dish. I cooked breaded chicken and added it to the dish. Thankfully I walked away. 1 minute later, the pyrex dish exploded into shrapnel and landed all over the kitchen. This dish hadn't even been put in the oven yet. There were thousands of sharp pieces of glass all over the kitchen and the glass landed as far as 10 feet away. I could have been seriously hurt if I was standing there. How can this product remain on the market? I would have never used this product if I knew there was an explosion risk.

I was using 8x12 Pyrex clear brown baking pan to cook pork tenderloin and set it on stove top. As I turned away it exploded into flying shrapnel and covered the stove, counters and floor in front of stove. My 4 year old granddaughter was sitting at kitchen table and glass landed just a few inches from her. Thank God, no one was hurt, but it was very upsetting to all. Needless to say, I have disposed of all Pyrex cookware and will never purchase again.

Purchased a new Pyrex pie dish, used it 3 times to bake a Spaghetti Pie. Today was the third time to use the dish. The "pie" bakes at 350 for 20 minutes and I removed it and set it on the stove top (that was not on but just warm from the oven being on). My granddaughter and I cut our servings out of the pie and went into the other room to eat. About 30 minutes later, we heard a loud bang and ran into the kitchen to discover the dish had exploded into too many pieces to even count. There was pieces of glass all over the stove top, the counter next to the stove, under the equipment on the counter and the floor. I couldn't even pick up the dish, only pieces of the dish. I am just thankful that neither of us where in the kitchen to be hit by the flying glass. I should have taken a picture of it but was too surprised to even think about it.

My husband cooked his oatmeal in a round "cereal bowl" size Pyrex bowl two days ago, as he has done for many years. He removed the bowl from the microwave oven, placed it on the countertop and added a little milk, just as he has done -- for many years. It exploded with glass shards everywhere. Fortunately, he is tall and the glass did not hit him in the eyes although it peppered his bathrobe. Huge mess to clean up and the glass confetti embedded in 2-1/2 x 4 ft. rug in front of the kitchen sink, which I am probably going to have to replace because I don't think I will ever get all of the glass out of it and I do not want to ruin my washing machine or expensive vacuum cleaner by trying to clean it in that manner.

After cooking a casserole for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven, I took it out and set it on the stove top. As soon as I set it down, it exploded everywhere. Luckily I wasn't hurt. It really scared me... Done with Pyrex and shame on them for not addressing this when they're obviously aware it continues to happen. I tried complaining on the Pyrex website but of course their contact email system is not working. You can't enter your phone number which is the only way to send them an email.

I was given a new Pyrex baking dish that was 8 in. by 12 in. about 12 years ago, brown see-through in color. I have used it many times making meals such as meat loaf, cakes, chicken, pork chops etc. Never had a problem with it before. I would always take the dish out of the oven, place it on top of the stove due to the fact the stove would still be warm so no major temp change would occur. Tonight I was making lemon pepper chicken, took the dish out, placed it on the top of the stove, cut into the chicken to make sure it was done all the way through, had seen it was done when the dish exploded suddenly sending shrapnel in about a 5 ft radius. Thankfully I was not injured. I did not think to take pictures of it at the time. I was too shaken to do so. My two boys helped to clean it up for me. I do not think I will be buying any more modern Pyrex for fear of it happening again.

For several years I have been using my 1-cup Pyrex measuring cup to melt Scentsy wax in the microwave to make samples for customers. While the cup does get too hot to hold without a potholder, I have NEVER had one do what it did today. I removed the cup from the microwave and was walking over to the stovetop to pour the wax into the molds, and the glass measuring cup literally EXPLODED in my hand, sending glass everywhere and warm wax onto the stove, floor, and my hand. Thankfully the wax was not HOT, but it sure was a mess to clean up. As I later pondered the situation, it occurred to me that in the past I have always used my older Pyrex measuring cup--the one with a solid handle--to melt wax; today I used a newer one--with an open handle. Not sure what difference, if any, it made, but from now on I will be melting my wax on the stovetop in a metal pan. After reading up on the other explosions people have reported, I'm kind of afraid to continue using my Pyrex BAKING dishes as well.

Pyrex 8 x 8 pan - I was roasting pork chops in a clear Pyrex pan. When I took the pan out of the oven after 25 minutes, the bottom exploded. I was left holding the sides of the pan with potholders. The glass, meat, and juices went all over the oven door and on the floor. Luckily, I had on shoes and long pants, otherwise I would have been burned or possibility cut by flying glass. Upon investigation, I have discovered that this has happened to others. I am now not using any clear Pyrex to cook with.

Made some sauce on the stove, then poured it into a Pyrex bowl that was sitting on the counter (room temperature). After a couple of minutes, the glass cracked all throughout the bowl. Never had this happen before. Scary.

I couldn't believe it! I had always baked chicken breasts in my Pyrex dish. Tonight, I heard a loud explosion and had no idea what it was, but it was from the kitchen. I opened the stove door and millions of pieces of glass all over the place. Thank God, after reading some of these reviews, it wasn't on the top of the stove already. I have always used Pyrex.... Never again. The other dishes are being thrown out by my husband as we speak.

Last night I was injured when my 9 X 12 Pyrex pan exploded. I had used it to roast some Brussels sprouts in olive oil, then washed it and had it on a dish drying mat on the counter, next to my fridge, several hours earlier. I was adding ice from my freezer to my tea when I dropped a cube on the floor. I bent down to pick up the ice, then there was a loud crack near my head and glass sprayed everywhere. I could see that the Pyrex dish had shattered. I started to clean up the glass shards, but the left side of my head felt warm and sticky and blood started to pour into my left eye.

Baked chicken in the carry & grab Pyrex pan. Opened the oven. Started to take the chicken out of the oven with pot holders when the entire Pyrex dish shattered, ending shards and pieces of glass all over the oven, floors, counters. Ruined a 16 lb container of dry cat food, chicken inside of oven, glass in my feet and my 2 cats. Most of all hit my lens on my glasses and have a mark on the lens; and now need new glasses. Thank God I was wearing the glasses or I could have been blinded. Called company and someone will call me in 3-5 business days. Totaling all, I am out $449. Will NEVER use or purchase a Pyrex product again. This was only used 2 times prior to the incident. My kitchen is a mess.

I cooked a cake in my 9x13 pan and iced the cake in the pan and covered it with the lid to keep it fresh. It took a couple of days for the cake to be eaten. When the last piece was gone, I took it off the cabinet and started to rinse it out. It exploded. The water I was using was barely warm as I had just turned it on and the dish was at room temperature.

Another story of exploding bake ware. Opened oven to check on dinner and as I was shutting the door, lo and behold, the dish exploded! When I say exploded, I mean exploded! It created a huge bang such as gun fire or a bomb going off. I got lucky as to the only thing that happened was glass all over the kitchen and in the oven. I did not get cut, luckily. Never again, trust me. Oh by the way, it was a 13 x 9 in baking dish.

In my cabinet I have five different Pyrex casserole dishes and two Pyrex pie plates. I had three pie plates until a few days ago. Baking a fruit pie is one of my favorite things to do, so I decided to bake a peach pie. I took it out of the oven, put it on a cooling rack. Ten minutes later the pie plate exploded, ruined the pie and took a lot of time to clean the kitchen. My husband mentioned this at work and was told that lots of people were having trouble with Pyrex and were throwing away their Pyrex dishes away. I am very disappointed as I have used Pyrex for years, but I am now afraid to use it.

On 2/18/14 just after 22:50 I arrived home from work to find my fiancee finishing up dinner with our 9 month old son on the kitchen floor near her. She took out an 8x8 Pyrex glass bakeware dish with a Banquet Homestyle Bakes Country Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, & Biscuits dinner which cooks at 400 degrees F for 30-35 minutes. She placed it on the stove top and I began to walk towards her. I had just wrapped my arms around her when all of a sudden we were peppered with glass shards, a loud audible crack, and food running onto the stove.

Put warm casserole makings into Pyrex dish and then into preheated oven and it cracked into many pieces. Fortunately was in oven and was just a mess to clean up and lost a good casserole dinner that night.

Tonight I had spaghetti squash in a 9x13 Pyrex bakeware dish with some water baking at 350 degrees along side Brussels sprouts which were on a cooking sheet. I opened the oven door to check on the squash and heard a loud boom followed by the explosion of the Pyrex dish into thousands of pieces. The glass was all over the oven and floor. I'm not sure if the oven is even working at this point. I am furious to learn that this has been happening for years and a massive recall and public service announcement has not been required. I'll be throwing out ALL of my Pyrex and notifying every friend and family member to do the same.

While washing dishes, I grabbed my large Pyrex pan by its handle to lift it, when it exploded in my hand. The exploding glass landed in my hair, hands, sink, counter tops and on the floor. This was a traumatic experience for me and I injured my knee by banging it against my dishwasher as a result of being startled by the explosion. World Kitchen has agreed to send me a new pan.

Took Pyrex cookware out of oven and put on top of stove. It exploded in thousands of pieces.

I was getting a pan out of the lower cupboard in my kitchen and moved an 8-inch Pyrex baking dish onto the floor. A minute later, I turned back to return the dish to the cupboard, and ran my big toe into the dish by mistake. It exploded into pieces, and cut my toe open. The pan wasn't hot, wasn't even being used for Pete's sake!! It was sitting on a rug in front of my sink - how the heck did it explode?? I read some of these other complaints and I am NEVER using glass in my house again - except for wine, which I now need desperately to calm my nerves!!

I have Pyrex bowls/bakeware that have lasted me 30+ years. I found the newer ones with vented lids and thought that these would be more convenient for us. I had a friend over last night and told her how I loved these bowls with the lids. Literally 2 minutes later, while making rice in the microwave and the bowl simply broke to pieces. Rice everywhere. Normally I would not have spent $20 on 3 smaller bowls. I bought these based on how long the others had lasted. The downside of this... I bought 2 sets of them and have already used both sets. The upside... I still have my old set. I hope Pyrex comes up with a better product and replaces what I have. I pray that nobody is seriously harmed before the safer solution is found.

We had scalloped potatoes in a newer Pyrex glass pan and we heard an explosion in the oven. I thought it was a fire but it was the pan that had exploded into hundreds of pieces and all over the oven as well as into our ham. It also dripped into the drawer below and shut the oven off and as of now we have no idea if our oven is ruined. We are still cleaning it up. This is unacceptable that a company continues to make a product that is this dangerous. Our older glass pans appear to be fine. We bought them in a set as they had a carry case and lids to go with each one. They will be going back tomorrow along with more formal complaints. We purchased ours at a MAJOR retailer. What had been an evening of looking forward to a nice family meal was ruined by greed from a company who apparently doesn't have any regard for the safety of the consumer. What happens if someone gets permanently hurt in one of these explosions or a house catches on fire????

This evening, I made a meatloaf in a Pyrex loaf pan. When it was done, I put a bamboo trivet on the dining room table and placed the Pyrex pan on it. I cut two pieces and removed them from the pan. As I sat down with my husband at the table, the pan exploded into a million glass shards! Glass covered the entire table, all our food, the floor around the table and surrounding chairs. Thank heaven, no glass hit our faces or eyes. This could have been a disaster!

Christmas dinner was to be pork tenderloin and roasted new potatoes among other items. So the tenderloins were browned and then placed in one never previously used Pyrex 9 x 13 glass baking dish in a 350-degree oven to finish cooking. The seasoned new potatoes were placed in a Pyrex 9 x 13 glass baking dish that I have had for 30 years - may even have been my mother's - in the same oven to roast. Within 20 minutes we heard this loud bang. When I opened the oven, the pork tenderloins were sitting on a bed of glass pieces while the bottom of the oven was covered with the juices, seasonings and remaining shards of the new Pyrex dish. Honestly, we couldn't take the chance of eating the meal with glass shards in it. The glass landed all over the oven - on the racks, the guides, the door and in the vintage pan containing the roasting new potatoes. There were no pieces larger than an inch in length or width. This was not a crack; this was a full blown explosion of the glass pan.

On Christmas eve my Pyrex Easy Grab 2 quart casserole shattered. The Gardien roast I was cooking had only been in the oven for about 15 minutes when I heard a very loud pop coming from the kitchen. I went to investigate and could see through the oven door window that the bottom of the casserole dish had completely shattered all over the oven and my roast! I quickly turned off the oven and tried to open the door but the glass kept breaking. It was like it was brittle (much like a leaf in the fall) as the pieces fell from the racks they shattered even further. Thankfully, I was not hurt but it was way too close for comfort.

While roasting a wonderful romantic pre-christmas dinner for just us two, my husband was roasting a bacon wrapped pork roast, a very small one, just for two. Baked at 350 degrees, when almost done, heard a very loud bang.... Got totally freaked out, didn't even want to open the oven, but did...... and there was our dinner, sitting atop bunch of broken glass.... It looked like it had split at the sides, and the bottom was all over the bottom of our oven. So tell me, what do we do to clean this up? We have family coming for Christmas dinner. I'm afraid to use the oven, I'm afraid to use the rest of our Pyrex products.... In fact I will not use the Pyrex ever again, and plan to tell everyone I know of what happened to my poor oven and what was supposed to be a wonderful, awesome dinner.

I can honestly say Pyrex ovenware does explode @ high temperatures. My glassware just exploded as I opened oven to take out baked chicken. TYJ the oven is low b/c it could have seriously injured me. This isn't the 1st incident I witnessed of it exploding. Years ago my sister placed Pyrex dish on counter out of oven & it exploded with a piece of glass piercing my leg (minor cut). I will NEVER purchase Pyrex again. It could have easily exploded & injured my child. I thought it was suppose to be durable but it's a hazard that should be recalled before someone is seriously hurt.

The glassware exploded in the oven and destroyed it. There should be a consumer label on the purchasing wrap that warns people of this scary and dangerous glass.

Was baking banana bread when Pyrex baking pan exploded inside oven. Shards of glass everywhere. Won't eat the bread now because not sure if there are small pieces of glass embedded in it. Luckily it did not explode outside of the oven because there are sharp shards of glass that broke off. Scary!

I was baking bread today and we heard a huge explosion from the kitchen. I opened the oven and one of my bread loaf pans had exploded. No drafts, no cooling off, just bang (!) like a gun went off. I had always thought Pyrex was reliable, apparently not since I found numerous complaints about glass exploding. I will never buy another Pyrex baking pan again. EVER.

3 AM I am a dad and thought someone broke in. Had shotgun out and looked everywhere, no break in. My wife opened the cabinet later that day and down came shards of glass. So the Pyrex exploded in reg conditions in my cabinet. WE ARE GETTING RID OF ALL GLASS COOKING WARE. I can't imagine my 2 yr old son or 6 year old by this stuff.

I am no stranger to the exploding Pyrex phenomenon. Several years ago, I blew up a 9x12 dish when I accidentally dripped a few cold water drops onto a pan that was oven-hot but sitting out to cool. I completely understood the physics behind this accident and learned what NOT to do with Pyrex.

On November 4, 2013, I purchased a 3 cup Pyrex bowl with a no leak purple lid. Prior to using the bowl, I placed it on the top rack of my dish washer, along with a full load of dishes. About 30 minutes in to the wash cycle, I heard a loud explosion. When I went to investigate, I saw that the bowl had exploded in my dishwasher all over my dishes. I contacted Ralph's, where I bought the bowl, they directed my to their claims department, who has now passed me off to Pyrex directly. I am now being asked the below questions:

Accidentally placed 8x8" Pyrex on warm burner of stove top and it sounded like a 9mm handgun was discharged 15 seconds later. Glass thrown up to 15' away. A nightmare! Am going to go with an alternative like ceramic after additional research. Had I been standing in front of the stove when this little bomb went off, I'd likely have incurred severe cuts. This stuff is extremely dangerous.

I baked a squash, removed it from a 400 degree oven, set it on the stove top to cool and it exploded everywhere into a zillion pieces! Miraculously no one was hurt. It was definitely a Pyrex brand, perhaps 4 years old or so. I threw away the squash and have a terribly big mess to clean up. I'll be throwing away all other Pyrex from my cupboard and recommending that others do the same.

Was cooking homemade mac and cheese and went to remove it from the oven (with oven mitts) and the Pyrex glass pan exploded while in my hands. I had my 2 dogs laying in the kitchen and the one dog was cut. It flew up in the air and pieces came down on myself and my dogs. It was in my hair, down my shirt and cut my arms and feet as I had to walk through it in order to get the apparatus to clean the mess and take care of myself and dogs. I used to stand behind Pyrex and now I will never use or purchase another piece of Pyrex. I will also be passing the word along to A LOT OF PEOPLE about this product and tell them to throw out any that they already own.

Put a tuna casserole in new, never used Pyrex glassware in preheated oven at 350 degrees. It was in the oven for only 5 minutes when we heard the sound of shattering glass. Not at all happy with Pyrex. I followed all the do's and don'ts so no reason for this to happen except inferior product. The photo shows the casserole on a cookie sheet after removing it from the oven, I did not bake it on the cookie sheet just for clarification.

I was baking two halves of an acorn squash and went to pull the pan out of the oven. Some of the liquid that had accumulated in the squash spilled and as soon as it hit the pan, the pan exploded!!!! It was not a crack or a typical glass breaking situation... it was an explosion. I was lucky I was not hurt, but have to wonder if glass is stuck deep somewhere in my oven and will pop and end up in my food. Oven had to be taken apart and vacuumed in there but I still don't feel comfortable with the parts of the oven that were not taken apart where there could still be glass. Our oven is only a couple months old, so yes, I am very angry and worried about cooking in it!!!!!! All glass bakeware and mixing bowls in my house will be thrown out!!!!!!!!!!

I cooked fish in the oven at 350 in a small rectangular Pyrex baking pan. I then took the fish out of the oven and set it on the stove. The burner under the pan was hot, as I'd used that burner to boil a vegetable, but about 10 minutes later the pan exploded. That is the word: exploded. Fortunately, I was in the next room and my children weren't in the kitchen. Glass shards flew all over the kitchen, some quite large, others tiny fragments. I recognize that heating the unit under one side (where the burner was) may have caused stress on the pan, but for it to explode in that way was shocking.

I have a new Pyrex 13x9 glass baking dish that I have used once before without incident. Yesterday I used it to bake a cake. Pan had been in the cupboard, and cake was baked at 350 for 40 minutes. I took it out of the oven and placed it on top to cool. About 30 minutes later, I heard a large amount of glass shattering in the kitchen. The dish had just exploded, spraying shards all over the kitchen, as far as 10 ft away. I stepped back because I could hear the glass continuing to crack. It was a big clean up. I am writing this review because Pyrex continues to call this product safe and seems to indicate it is mishandling by the consumer. Not the case in this incident. I am still using my mother & grandmother's Pyrex after decades. This is surely not the same product. I have photos.

While cooking a roast in our stick free coated Pyrex, my partner opened the door to check the roast and the Pyrex exploded. It scared her a lot. The rib roast was garbage. Fragments were everywhere. Huge clean up. With only minor cuts. Photos were taken.

My Pyrex exploded in the most rare circumstances. We bought these new Pyrex pans and without using them, that night, we stored them in one of the kitchen cabinets. The following morning, one of the trays had exploded mysteriously. In this experience, no heat at all was involved, no abrupt temperature change was involved either. Still the Pyrex tray exploded at some point through the night. We were lucky it exploded while in the kitchen cabinet and no one was hurt. We called Pyrex to complain about this problem. They did not give any explanation, but they apologized and sent us by UPS a new Pyrex pan for free to replace the one which had exploded. This happened last December (2012). I haven't had any problems with my Pyrex trays anymore (I have pictures of the explosion to document these facts).

My mother just gave me some new Pyrex cookware. I used the small baking pan to make some Baked Mac n Cheese. The dish was in the oven for 20 min. but for some reason, when I took it out and set it on the potholder on my counter, it exploded! There was no drastic temperature change, no bumping, or any damage to the glass! It was brand new and I had never used it before! I am now cleaning glass up from all over my kitchen and living room and picking glass out of my arms and hands! All the rest of the cookware is going into the trash immediately and I will never ever use this product again. I will also make sure none of my friends or family use it. What if it had gotten in my eyes? Or worse what if children had been in the kitchen?

Tonight I was baking chicken in a Pyrex glass dish when I heard a noise. Ran to the oven to discover the pan had exploded and glass shards were everywhere. Luckily nobody was hurt. I love Pyrex and will continue using it; however, I would really appreciate it if the Pyrex company would reimburse me with a new 9 by 12 baking pan. I feel that would be very appropriate.

I was making brownies this evening to take to a new teacher meeting tomorrow. While sitting at the dining room table waiting for the brownies to finish baking, my family heard an explosion. We ran to the oven and discovered that one of the Pyrex baking dishes exploded and sent shards of glass all over the inside of my oven. Needless to say, I have lost time, resources, and a dessert for tomorrow. What on Earth happened? I believe the public needs to be aware of this issue.

I have been baking with Pyrex for many, many years...I had made 2 Pyrex casserole's with stuffed peppers and had them covered with foil. I opened the oven door about halfway through cooking them to check them and one of the Pyrex casseroles just EXPLODED...WOW...talk about scared...just glad it didn’t EXPODE in our faces. It was a big mess in the oven, the oven drawer, the kitchen floor and got some glass in my hand...Just think you should know because I AM IN SHOCK...like I said, been cooking with PYREX for many YEARS...very disappointed to say the least...no dinner tonight...by the time we get everything cleaned up after the oven cools off...thank you for listening.

I'm quite upset with Pyrex glass. This is my second occurrence where their product has exploded during or just after cooking. There wasn't any extreme temperature change or cold to hot. With a family on a budget and meals planned accordingly, we are now a meal short this week due to Pyrex not being a reliable cookware. Thanks a bunch, guys.

I just finished picking shards of glass out of my leg and foot after a Pyrex glass bakeware dish exploded after pulling it out of the oven. I'm thankful my children were not hurt.

I preheated the oven to 350 for ten minutes. Sprayed cooking spray (Pam olive oil) on the Pyrex dish and put pieces of a rotisserie chicken from Walmart (already cooked), placed it in the oven and cooked it for 10 minutes. I opened the oven to get it out and the Pyrex dish exploded. Shards of glass went all over my oven and kitchen. I want everyone to be aware of this. It's super scary. My husband's face was scratched and he got glass in his arm. I'm throwing all of my Pyrex cookware away. The shards of glass went all in our food. We could've ate glass and died.

I was cooking my dinner in a medium sized Pyrex bowl when I checked it for doneness. Was I surprised to find an explosion had happened. I just threw everything away and chalked it up to a mishap of some sort. It happened about 2 months ago and I forgot about it until I read about this happening before in Consumer Affairs.

My Pyrex baking dish exploded in my oven. I was baking potatoes at 350 degrees. There was seasoning, olive oil and water in the dish. I opened the oven and added additional water (water was not cold), and the dish broke into several large shreds, creating projectile across my kitchen. This dish was given as a wedding gift in 2007, and was purchased from Fortunoff. I have pictures to verify. This occurred this evening (7/25/2013) at 9 pm.

I was cooking Chicken in my large Pyrex Dish @ 350. Within 15 min it exploded in the oven. Glass everywhere. It had never done this before and I have used it without any problems. I have used Pyrex my whole life and have never seen this happen.

My wife was cooking enchiladas on a Pyrex pan at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes when the pan literally exploded in the oven blowing glass fragments everywhere. We are just thankful that it happened while it was still in the oven rather than when she was removing it from the oven. My wife said that she had another identical pan, and I told her to discard it as it was a comparable age as the dish that blew up. I'm telling you that this is a serious safety issue concerning this cookware. Had this incident occurred under different circumstances, there could have been a very serious accident.

I have had my second Pyrex pan explode. The first time, I thought I bumped it on something. This time, it was sitting on the stove with no one touching it, and it exploded. My four-year-old daughter was sitting about three feet away from the stove and was hit with glass. It shot fragments of glass all over the kitchen and spilled the hot contents all over the stove and onto the floor. This is a serious safety hazard. This was not a small cracking and falling apart; it was an explosion shooting fragments everywhere.

While cooking a chicken breast from a semi-frozen state in a Pyrex loaf pan, the pan exploded. I had removed it from the oven and was in the process of flipping the breast when the water/juice hit the bottom, the glassware simply shattered. I was not injured. The food was ruined and the clean up was terrible. Despite not being hurt this time, it is my personal opinion that the potential is there for serious injury. The shards were moving at a very fast pace and had one hit my eye, I believe it could have blinded me. It's simply not worth the risk.

I used a room temperature Pyrex 8x8 glass casserole dish to bake stuffed peppers. The oven was pre-heated when I put the stuffed peppers in. After about 15-20 minutes, the dish exploded. I sent the glass to Pyrex for analysis by their lab. They sent me a replacement dish. Later I received a letter saying that I must have, at some point, knocked the casserole dish and not pre-heated the oven. Neither are true. The casserole was only 6 month old and I hardly used it. Not to mention, knocked it against a hard surface. They took absolutely no responsibility. Luckily, no one was hurt but I worry about others' safety. I really think they should take this product off the market.

My Pyrex baking dish shattered in my oven. I was baking chicken at 350 degrees. It had been in the oven for about 30 minutes when I heard a loud "bang." I opened the oven up to see that the glass had shot into the other three dishes in the oven and shattered all over the bottom of the oven. Not sure what damage to the oven is yet.

Hey, Pyrex! I am very, very unhappy with your product. I purchased a set from Target and I put it in the oven with veggies I was roasting and, all of a sudden, I heard a huge crash. I opened the oven and the whole dish shattered all over my beautiful veggies. I know for a fact my Nana's does not do that. I bake in hers all the time. What changed?

I used the shallow round baking dish to cook bacon in the oven at 375. Not 5 minutes later, I heard an explosion. The sound scared me so bad that I had an anxiety attack. My husband opened the oven after making sure I was okay and proceeded to throw all glass cookware away. I thank God that it did not explode when I would have opened the oven to check the progress. No images, just telling everyone about the experience.

I was pulling my 8x8 glass pan, holding a small roast, and it just exploded into so many pieces; it is impossible to tell what it was. I have taken several pictures of the aftermath, but I am only submitting 3. A piece of glass (very small) went into my arm but could have been my eye or that of my 12-year old who was supposed to be the one taking the pan out. Although I was uninjured, I am out a dinner and a pan. My biggest concern, however, is that this does not happen to others.

I had heated up a large pizza bread sandwich in my oven in a 9-inch glass pie plate. We had used this pie plate before with no problems at all. It was on 400 degrees. The oven itself was hot on the surface. I took out the glass dish with oven mitts, then gently placed it down on the hot oven. I know not to ever place hot to cold with glassware of any sort. I had my face down looking closely at the sandwich - deciding where to cut it. I turned around to the utensil drawer and at that second, a large explosion happened. In shock, I saw glass everywhere. This is not the safety type glass where it breaks in square little pieces. This was a killer glass. Long knife-like shards, tiny needle-like shards, and chunks of glass over an area of several feet.

On Easter morning, I was preparing food in the oven and the dish blew up ruining all that was being prepared in the oven. Glass was all over and the food was ruined. Why did this happen? Never has this ever happened before. Very dissatisfied experience. I had to start over after having to clean a mess up. Not at all a happy Easter.

Two nights ago, I heard a boom in my kitchen. I thought the hot water heater exploded. I ran in there to see my daughter's foot covered in blood. She had dropped a Pyrex bowl from the microwave. It would take 10 stitches to put her foot back together. These pieces are razor sharp. Our floor is made of wood and is springy because it's on the second floor. Nothing usually breaks on that floor. The doctor had to stick a needle in her foot 10 times, 1/2" deep to numb it up for stitches. The Pyrex bowl had stored energy. Glass bowls don't normally explode when broken. This was a bomb waiting for a trigger.

I had a preheated oven at 375F so I could roast beets for a dish tonight. The beets were merrily roasting away for at least 30 minutes and I was preparing other dinner creations when I heard a pop and rattle sound emit from the oven. I glanced over from my sink to see what happened; nothing was apparent from that distance. But when I actually peeked in closely, I saw the completely obliterated dish pieces all over the oven. Lucky me, I did some Google research to find other people with far worse stories. I am quite disappointed and somewhat nervous now. We recently tossed out another Pyrex dish about a month ago because it was chipping and seemed like it wasn't safe enough to use. All of our cookware is Pyrex brand and we got it about 8 years ago as a gift. Hopefully our other glassware isn't destined to the same fate as our two pie dishes.

Alert! This problem must be handled immediately by Pyrex. Yesterday, I prepared a pork tenderloin in my oblong Pyrex dish, which was about 5 years old. I took it from the oven, covered it loosely with foil, and left it to cool for over 2 hours. My husband went into the kitchen to fix a plate, turned to the sink to wash his hands, and boom -the explosion. When I ran into the kitchen, I was shocked. The Pyrex dish had literally exploded and shot glass shards in a million pieces over 10 feet, from one end of the kitchen to the other! It blew so hard that it blew up the pork tenderloin and potatoes all over the kitchen as well. If my husband had not turned for one second, he would have been seriously injured! I was shocked to see over 1268 complaints of Pyrex dishes blowing up in the past few months! Pyrex needs to pay attention to this immediately before someone loses their eyesight. I will not ever use Pyrex again.

I was cooking a tri tip sirloin in a parchment paper wrap with a Pyrex baking dish. When I went to open the parchment paper, the Pyrex pan exploded almost in my face and eyes! I have a 7-pound Westie puppy that was smelling the cooking and almost was hit by a shard of flying glass. If he was hit, he would have surely been killed! I could not believe the explosion. The shards shattered and raced through the air! I am lucky I did not get hit and blinded or had my face cut up!

We can't believe what happened this morning. My husband was heating water in a 1-liter Pyrex bowl in the microwave (he makes his porridge in the microwave). We heard a loud pop and the sound of the turntable being jarred. When we opened the door, the dish was in 2 large pieces and many smaller chunks. We never expected Pyrex to do this.

Daughter was cooking a small pot roast in the oven using the big casserole dish. When she looked into the oven, the dish exploded in her face. Thank God she wasn't hurt. I will never trust another Pyrex dish again.

I took a heated glass Pyrex casserole dish out of the oven and set it on the cook top. I added one handful of chopped garlic that was dry and at room temperature. Immediately, the dish exploded, shooting shards of broken glass everywhere. The dish exploded with such force that glass flew nearly 12 feet across my kitchen. The glass was broken into many pieces of different shapes and sizes, including many hard-to-clean-up tiny slivers of glass and some sharp 5" long large pieces shaped like the blade of a knife. Immediately after the explosion, my right eye started feeling strange and like it had something in it. I flushed my eye with water but this didn't help with the feeling, so I went to my local urgent care.

I had the scariest mishap happen in the kitchen just now. I took the Pyrex bakeware out of the oven (400 degrees F) and as soon as it touched the counter, the dish exploded everywhere! I was so terrified of what could have happened. A piece of glass could have hit my eye and I could be blinded or if it hit my face, I would have been facially scarred. My dog was also standing next to me and he could have also been hurt. I can't believe bakeware like this is allowed on the market. It should be recalled! I looked up Pyrex safety on their website and it does say not to place it directly on the counter, but nowhere does it say that it would explode if you do. There should be a big warning on the box to warn consumers that these glasswares can explode. Because of this, I will never buy another glassware again.

I was baking chicken breasts in the oven yesterday evening. I was using the Pyrex oblong baking dish that I have had for several years. When I turned the chicken over, the dish exploded and shattered in a million pieces and went everywhere - but mainly in the oven. I was fortunate that none of the large slivers came in my direction. It took me quite a while to clean it up and had to clean my oven this morning. This is quite dangerous and now I find that it is quite common. There should be a recall on these dishes!

I will start with tonight's disaster. I was making Sunday night dinner for my family. Now let me tell you real quickly that we have been going through a really hard time. Both my husband and I are out of work and we are hardly making ends meet. Anyway, I was baking chicken, a family size pack, because it was cheap and it would last us for a few meals: chicken sandwiches, chicken casserole and then chicken soup. I put the oven on 350 degrees, put the chicken in the large lasagna size Pyrex dish and put it in the oven for 30 min. About 25 min in, I heard a loud pop and my family ran to the kitchen. We didn't see anything unusual and then the timer went off. I opened the oven to find that the Pyrex dish had exploded. There were shards of glass everywhere and my entire meal was ruined. I can't believe this happened. Pyrex is supposed to be a trusted name, right? As you can imagine, I am extremely upset. There goes at least 3 days of meals for my family.

I've used this dish for a couple of years in this exact same manner, although last night for some reason, when I removed the dish from the oven and placed it on the same cutting board as I always do, it exploded with a loud crack sound into dozens of pieces of elongated sharp glass. Some of the dish was reduced to glass dust on my counter. Searing-hot pieces hit my legs (which were thankfully clothed) and our dog ran forward to eat them since things that hit the floor while I'm cooking are usually edible, not hot shards of glass. Thankfully, I kept her from touching the hot glass with her mouth but I burned my hands picking them up quickly. I will be finding an alternative to Pyrex when I replace this dish and am very angry that my dog and myself were in danger.

I purchased this glass baking dish two years ago. I actually read and followed the instructions for use and cleaning care. Tonight, I used the glass baking dish to cook chicken in the oven at 375 degrees for 16 minutes. I removed the glass from the oven, took the chicken out of the dish, and placed the chicken on a separate plate. I heard the juices from the chicken sizzling in the dish more than usual, so I moved the dish to the sink where it exploded as I was lowering it but before it touched the sink's surface. The glass shattered completely, making a mess of my kitchen sink and sending glass everywhere. Luckily, I was not injured but I was very shaken by the experience. I easily could have been very injured by this product if I hadn't been placing it in a sunken sink where the walls of the sink protected me from getting glass on my body. Now I have to remove the glass from my sink and garbage disposal, so that no one is injured when we go to use the disposal.

On 1-22-2013, I made pork tenderloin at 425 degrees for 30 minutes. After I was done eating, the Pyrex was cool so I put soap and water in the dish to soak. After I got my other dishes done, I picked the Pyrex dish up and was putting it in the sink when it broke in my hand. It broke into five pieces. I had to get six stitches in my pinky finger, a few smaller cuts, and the tip of my thumb was cut off. This Pyrex dish was given to me when I moved out of my parents' house. There was not a single crack or chip in the dish! I will be getting rid of all my Pyrex dishes.

My wife was putting burger in this Pyrex product after she had cooked it to start her shepherd’s pie, and it flat exploded. Shards of glass went everywhere up to ten feet. The only thing left was a round piece, approx. 8 inches round, with the Pyrex logo on it. The only reason it stayed was the burger was laying on it. Consumers need to be aware of this faulty product. It could have been much worse if my wife was not wearing her glasses. She could have lost one, if not both eyes.

Glass 1 Cup container with red plastic lids (Pyrex # 7202) - I have never been able to use them for puddings or jello or anything because the lids are too tight and cannot get food out without the food being jumbled up. I bought 12 from Walmart; it was about 2 years ago. They are too good to throw out and yet totally useless to me as is. I have to use plastic wrap but then I can't stack them. I would like different lids with a lip you can use to pull up the lid. In fact, I was in the market for some good glass storage containers Saturday and totally passed over your product. I bought Ziploc VersaGlass instead, because I could safely remove the snug fitting blue lids that had a lip to hold on to.

Using a Pyrex pie plate, I had just taken it out of a 400 degree oven and set it on the grill portion of a Thermador. It did not explode but cracked into pieces just after it was set down. I had been heating an item that was sealed in parchment paper, so I did not have to ruin dinner but I have duplicated this meal four times lately using the same Pyrex and the same procedure. It's sad to lose faith in such a mainstay of my kitchen. No longer will I reach for the Pyrex measuring cups when using hot liquids or the baking dishes.

My daughters and I have always thought Pyrex measuring cups were heat-proof and routinely added hot water to soup powder to make bouillon. This evening, my younger daughter was measuring hot (but not boiling) water to make soup when the Pyrex cup exploded with force. There was a loud bang and pieces were flying everywhere and bouncing off stuff. She felt fortunate to escape injury. Glass shards to face or eyes would have been a very serious matter. Thermal shock seems an insufficient explanation. There's not that much difference between 20 C and 90 C, and the cup was relatively new and undamaged. We will be replacing our Pyrex.

The Pyrex baking pan was sitting on the counter and was not even warm. It had been out of the oven for 48 hours and no one was in the kitchen when it violently exploded. Small pieces of glass were all over the floor, counter and in the sinks. I am getting rid of all Pyrex baking dishes and will not use Pyrex for baking again.

Last night, I was using my Pyrex baking dish for a pork tenderloin at 325 deg. I have had this dish for 25 years and never had a problem using it for this purpose. I took the baking dish out of the oven after about one and a half hours, placed it on top of the stove and this dish exploded all over the place. It sounded like an explosion with glass everywhere. I have used this dish at higher temperatures so I didn't think it was a problem. I will never use Pyrex again. Thank goodness nobody was hurt.

I purchased a new Pyrex Measuring cup (4-cup size) in October 2012. The first time I used it was in a microwave, melting Melt & Pour Soap Base. I was melting it in 30-second bursts. Two pounds of M&P Soap Base were in the cup. After the third burst, the cup shattered inside the microwave. I'm 57 years old and I have never seen this before. I will never use the new Pyrex products in my microwave again. The experience was terrifying. My old Pyrex dishes and cups have been used the same way without any problem. I know that in the Soap Making community, this has been a common and growing complaint.

Last evening (04 Jan. 12), my wife and I were baking chicken breasts in two (2) Pyrex glassware 9x13 baking dishes. The oven was at approx. 400 deg F. After approx 30 minutes in the oven, we heard what sounded like a crash from the oven. Upon opening the oven, we were astounded to have found that one of the baking dishes had literally exploded, sending glass shards and debris throughout the oven. The blast must have been so intense that glass shards impregnated a loaf of bread wrapped in many layers of foil that was also baking in the oven at the time of the explosion. Other than ruining our dinner, destroying a piece of bakeware, and creating what was literally a 90+ minutes of clean up job (both messy and dangerous - numerous slivers of extremely sharp glass were in every crevice/crack of the oven interior), we shuddered to think what would have happened had the blast happened in the process of opening the oven door or when the door was open no less, while possibly handling the dish itself.

On 1/2/13, I had two Pyrex dishes in the oven with chicken in them. I have used these dishes for years. When I took them out of the oven, one exploded everywhere. I was really lucky that the glass did not hit me in my eyes or on my body. Needless to say, we did not eat the chicken and I threw every Pyrex dish and lid that I had in the house out. No more Pyrex dishes for me. Please, everyone, be careful cooking with these dishes.

I now have a data point to add to the discussion of new vs. old Pyrex baking dishes. For the past seven years, we have been making Yorkshire Pudding from the same recipe to go along with Roast Beef. This recipe calls for pre-heating the baking dish at 400 deg F before adding pan drippings from the meat to be followed later by the batter. There has never been any problem with this procedure using my mother's 40-year-old 9 x 13 Pyrex baking dish. This year, I decided to bring my newer dish of the same size and brand to save her some clean up. Immediately after adding the pan drippings to the pre-heated dish, it exploded violently coating the entire inside of the oven with scalding fat and glass shards. Fortunately, there were no personal injuries and amazingly a grease fire did not occur. So Christmas dinner had a few less calories this year and the rest of the holiday had to be spent cleaning up the kitchen and the inside of the oven.
