Pyrex Reviews

On Thanksgiving Day in 2011, the last dish to go on the table was candied yams. I took them out of a 350 degree oven with clean, dry oven mitts, took one step back from the oven and the dish fell apart in my hands. I slipped in the hot bubbling yams and fell. I received severe burns on my right hip and shattered the greater tuberosity in my right shoulder. After ten and a half months of excruciating pain and surgery, I returned to work. Over a year later, my shoulder still hurts and I still have restricted movement. That was on top of the medical bills that my insurance didn't cover and my disability payments were $2000 less a month than what I earned when working.

About 15 minutes into baking an apple dessert, I heard an explosion and then glass falling onto the bottom of my oven. What a mess it was! I have been using Pyrex baking dishes all my life and have never had an experience like this in the past. Today, while online, I saw an article about Pyrex cookware breaking and read what other people had experienced. I will be heading home to clean out my cabinets of Pyrex baking dishes and disposing of them all in the trash. I am not willing to take a chance that someone may get hurt with my Pyrex cookware.

I baked a quiche at my Pyrex 9-inch pie plate at 350 degrees for an hour (nothing unusual). I took it out and put it on a warm (to the touch) cook top to cool. Three minutes later, it sounded like a bomb went off and shards of glass went everywhere, including into my family room 20 ft. opposite of the stove. Hot glass embedded in my carpeting which is now ruined. Glass ended up in two of the plates of food, which I was getting ready to take to the table and had to throw away instead. It took three adults and 20 minutes to clean up the glass and keep the pets and toddlers away. What a buzz kill to a special day. We are so thankful only the rug was ruined and I had minor cuts on my hands. I will never buy Pyrex again, having learned they changed their formula. I'll opt to buy the more expensive Creuset brand.

I was cooking in a Pyrex dish. As soon as I pulled the dish out of the oven, the dish exploded in my hands! It scared the crap out of me. I had to keep two kids and a dog away from the broken glass on the floor. I will never use glass to bake again. I thought it was only me, until I started to read all of these posts. Please pass this information on to others who may not know this type of glass does explode and can explode in midair as you pull it out of the oven!

I just saw a report about Pyrex pans shattering. I thought it only happened to me. I have had two of them shatter in the past 8 years, one after being taken out of the oven and another shattered while in the oven! Both scary events. Luckily no one has hurt (except the food) in the incidences.

I was baking a cake like I have many times before. When I removed it from the oven and set it gently on top of the stove (the burner was not on where I set it on), it exploded with a loud noise. I had glass all over my kitchen. My husband heard me scream from outside in the driveway. He came in and helped clean up the mess, while I kept the dog out of the glass as I was barefoot. Fortunately, I was not injured as I always wear oven mitts that go up to my elbows. Of course I threw out the cake, along with the cake pan pieces and won't purchase another Pyrex anything. I have several pieces yet to replace as I won't use them again for fear that they will be next on the explosion list as they are older than the cake pan that was only about a year old.

I had a similar experience. I took a Pyrex pizza plate from the oven and set it on the cooktop. Within a minute, it shattered explosively - sending shards of hot glass across the kitchen. No one was hurt, but the hot glass permanently damaged the kitchen flooring.

I thought I was the only person that had experienced the exploding cookware phenomenon until I read an article online. I too had experienced this. I cooked a pan of lasagna in the oven. When it was finished, I pulled it out; placed it on the stove to cool; and set for a while. I went to the living room to watch some TV and it sounded like rain was hitting the kitchen window. When I got up to see what the ruckus was, I was in awe to see the lasagna slowly oozing out of the Pyrex cooking dish. It had splintered into a thousand long, slender pieces. I was just lucky to not have had the hot dish in my hands or worse, set it on a table with hungry guests. The only loss was a healthy portion of good ingredients and about two hours of preparation and cleanup. Again, I was grateful that no one was injured.

This is nothing new for this cookware. Subject Pyrex cookware to any severe extreme temperature and it will explode. Making them explode is easy. Just start making escaloped potatoes in them. Put the water and butter in one of the saucepans on the stove top, bring to a boil then add the milk and presto! Explosion! Works every time. I've been able to replicate this 95% of the time.

Dish shattered - I was making a roast for supper. The roast had been in the oven for probably 45 minutes. I opened the oven and then got a fork to turn over the meat so it would brown on both sides. I turned away and while I had my back turned, the dish shattered. This was probably about two years ago. It scared me silly and it was in the oven. I was surprised we didn't have a huge grease fire in the stove.

The pan was used about 10 times. I put it in a preheated 350 oven with a chicken and some juice in it. I opened the door to remove from the oven an hour later and as I lift the pan, it explodes into a million shards of glass and hot fluid flies everywhere.

My favorite Pyrex dish, a very large rectangle, exploded in the oven. I use it a lot. It was full of nice size chicken drumsticks. How do you explain to autistic children who have been eyeing dinner since it went in the oven that it's Little Caesar pizza? It was not a good time as I only use Pyrex dishes. I'm really disappointed at this mishap.

I am visiting a family member and used their Pyrex dish to prepare a roast turkey roll like I've done hundreds of times in my life. As always, I baste the turkey and after it browns, place less than a cup of room temperature water in the baking dish so the drippings don't burn as it continues cooking. To my shock, the dish exploded into hundreds of pieces. Fortunately, no one got hurt, but it took over an hour to clean up. When I bake the same meal in my own home, I use Corning Ware and never had a problem. It was not until I did a net search that I learned it was a frequent problem. The product needs to be taken off the market. It's dangerous, like shrapnel!

I purchased a new Pyrex dish with the carrier. The first time I used it, I took it out of the oven 350 degrees to set on the counter to cool. Within a few seconds, it exploded, sending glass everywhere. I was grateful that it didn't happen while I was holding it or I could have had glass embedded in my face or arms; not to mention, being burned by a hot casserole. This is very dangerous!

I was roasting a pork on the center rack of my oven and when I opened the oven door, the 13 x 9 Pyrex exploded all over my oven and on my kitchen floor - glass everywhere. Boy was I in shock. Even the bottom of the oven where it covers the flame popped off. All I thought about was a fire. I hope there's nothing wrong with my oven. I'm waiting for it to cool so I can clean it. I see that glass did go into the openings of the oven, which I'm sure will be a pain to get to. Well, there goes a nice meal and possibly my oven! I think I'm done using Pyrex!

After having had a bad experience with an exploding Pyrex dish some years ago, my husband and I were particularly careful this Thanksgiving to make sure all our dishes (from the refrigerator), were taken out and not put into the oven until they were at room temperature. Even with this precaution, about half an hour after putting them in the oven at 250 degrees, we heard a frightening crash. Much to our amazement, we found an entire lasagna-sized dish of stuffing shattered, taking with it 2 other dishes now filled with glass shards. There were significant chunks of glass on the bottom of the stove. It was not only a disappointment to have to throw out all the food, but the cleanup was distressing & possibly dangerous with our grandchildren present. Our anger and disappointment with Pyrex products has brought us to the decision of never buying another Pyrex product. Do you need to take a science class on thermal shock to use their products?!

I had made rolls for Thanksgiving in my Pyrex 13x9 dish. I have used this baking dish for years with no problem. I took the dish out of the oven and placed it on the counter and it exploded. Luckily, it didn't shatter into a lot of pieces and I was able to salvage my Thanksgiving rolls. What did shatter shattered into a lot of pieces.

I preheated the oven at the manufacturer’s direction on my newly purchased Pyrex 9x13 brand dish. The oven was set to 325 for 25 minutes. I heard a large bam and opened the oven to see glass everywhere and food. My oven heating unit is ruined and so was our Thanksgiving dinner.

I was cooking herb bread dressing in a recently purchased Pyrex square dish; it had baked for 30 min (350 degrees). I turned the oven off and left the dish of dressing in the oven with two other dishes when 10 minutes later, it exploded in the oven into hundreds of shards, which also fell in the other dishes. Luckily no one was injured, but we had very little to eat for our early Thanksgiving dinner since three dishes for dinner were ruined and it was a difficult mess to clean up. This is ridiculous that it exploded at a low temperature and with no temperature change to a colder counter, etc. as I heard this could happen if you sat it on a colder surface, but it was still in the oven. Pyrex should stop making these dishes and go back to the dependable formula they used to use.

I was looking forward to having some stuffed sole fillets from World Port Seafood (Omaha Steaks) for lunch along with my wife. I placed the two fillets in a 9x9 Pyrex dish and put them in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees along with 2 tablespoons of water as instructed. Twenty minutes into the cooking time, I heard a crash and found the dish had "exploded" into multiple pieces.

My wife was going to bake a cake. She had prepared the Pyrex dish with PAM cooking spray and flour. The dish was sitting on the kitchen island behind her. She had her back to it and was standing at the kitchen sink. Suddenly there was a loud explosion and she was standing amidst all the fine pieces of broken glass from the dish. She is adamant that the dish had been placed securely on the island and that it had not simply fallen and then shattered at her feet. I was in another room - heard the explosion and went rushing to the kitchen to find her standing in all the shards of glass. That was very scary stuff for both of us!

I have been using Pyrex for years with no problems. This evening, I was taking pork tenderloin out of the oven (350 degrees, it had been in for 40 minutes) and I had barely gotten it off the oven rack when it exploded in my hands. Luckily, I was not injured at all, but dinner was ruined and it could have been a lot worse. There were no extreme temperature changes, no obvious marks in the glass. Then I looked online and saw how this has been happening to so many people. I felt I needed to add my story to all the other reviews. My little daughters are often in the kitchen with me, playing while I cook. Thank goodness tonight they were in the other room. I will never buy another Pyrex dish again.

Pyrex 9x13 blew up in 350 oven while cooking brownies - We had a regular baking excursion with boxed brownies in the oven. After about ten minutes, there was a pop; there was Pyrex and burning brownie mix everywhere. That was in my new wall oven, in my remodeled kitchen! The proof is in the pudding, as we say. This dish is less than one year from purchase, and while my experience with Pyrex brand up to this point has been great, this is obviously not the old Pyrex.

I was baking a chicken pot pie in one of the Pyrex 9 x 13" pans with the handles on it. I had used it 3 or 4 times before. The dinner was almost done when I heard a loud popping. I went into the kitchen and looked in the oven to see that the pan had burst into hundreds of small pieces. Everything had to be thrown out, peanut butter and jelly for dinner and a loss of grocery funds caused by exploding pan

I inspected my glass Pyrex 9X13 before filling it with Apple Danish Pastry to bake. I preheated my electric oven to 375 and checked that the rack was in the middle. I placed the pan in the preheated oven and set the timer for 50 minutes. About 20 minutes into the baking time, the glass dish shattered around the pastry, leaving the pastry largely intact but shards of glass everywhere.

The glass Pyrex casserole dish with chicken cooking in oven completely shattered when my wife opened the oven door to check on the food. Thankfully for her (and Pyrex or the company who makes the glass dish), she was not injured when the glass blew out of the oven towards her. The dish does not say anything about maximum temperature for this type of dishes. When I went to the store, they still do not have such a warning. I photographed the breakage in the oven and kept (for the moment) the shattered glass dish. Seems to be a problem when I look at your site and other sites involving this issue! I checked angry because this could have been a lot worse (glass in the eye, etc.). Maybe it is time to start putting warnings on all glass dishes that go into an oven (maximum temp and time they should be in?). Just a thought. Thanks.

Just minutes ago, I was taking a meatloaf out of the oven. I was holding the 13x9 Pyrex dish with two potholders. As I was turning from the oven, the Pyrex exploded sending shards of hot glass and hot meatloaf, as well as hot grease all over me up my arms into my face and all over the kitchen. The furthest shard traveled over ten feet. As a result, I have minor cuts and burns and have lost about $20.00 in groceries as everything on the stove top had to be thrown out. I am frightened and pissed off. I never knew this had happened to others. To me this is sheer negligence on the part of the manufacturer. Will it take someone getting blinded to fix this?

The other night, I used my square Pyrex baking dish to bake two frozen store-bought stuffed chicken breasts. I preheated the oven at 350 as usual and baked them for the 40 minutes required. I removed the dish from the oven and set it on a wooden trivet on top of my stove. I had just left the kitchen and heard a loud explosion and came back to the kitchen to find my dish had exploded all over the kitchen! My daughter came running in and we stood there in amazement.

The first time my 9x13 Pyrex exploded, I emailed and put in a complaint; they responded and sent me a new 9x13 and some other items. I thought since they sent me a new 9x13, it would be safe to use. I was cooking baby back ribs. Being cautious after having one of these dishes explode before, I put the ribs in the oven prior to pre-heating at 250 degrees to slow bake them. Within 45 minutes, the dish had once again exploded; shards of glass everywhere in my oven. I had to dismantle the oven to remove all of the glass, and the glass scratched and dented the bottom of my new oven! I emailed them once again. This is 2 weeks ago; no response. I can’t believe they can continue to sell these dishes; they are unsafe to use and should be taken off the market before someone gets seriously injured. For now, any Pyrex in my home is going in the trash.

I was cooking potatoes last week and I went to add some stock I had warmed up to the square Pyrex dish I was using. There was a loud boom and glass was everywhere. I stood there in shock a minute or so before I could check myself for injuries. How I didn't get shards of glass in my eyes, I will never know. I had heard Pyrex could explode, but I really didn't believe it until it happened to me. Since telling my story to several women, I was surprised to find many of them were unaware that adding liquid, using it on the stove top (even one woman puts it on top of her charcoal grill) should not be done while using Pyrex. People should be made aware of the potential dangers of using Pyrex. I will never use this product again.

My boyfriend was kindly making me dinner while I worked late and decided to make scalloped potatoes. He said he poured the hot water and milk mixture in our 9x9 square dish, and as he was putting it in the oven, it exploded in a million sharp jagged pieces leaving glass and milk mixture everywhere. He thinks he may have swallowed some glass too as he felt it in his mouth and now his throat is sore. It’s just a giant ridiculous mess now, but if he's hurt I will be furious! I am really upset that my tried and true bakeware can't really be trusted.

I had put some chicken quarters in the oven on 425 degrees for 30 minutes to cook and before the timer went off, I heard a loud noise like something fell over and broke. When I opened the oven door to take out my dinner, l was in disbelief! The pan (9x13 Dark Cake Pan) had exploded all over my oven. The glass was down in the vent of the oven. I had to wait for the oven to cool down before cleaning and then ordered pizza on my credit card. I haven't worked in 3 years and my husband is disabled. This was something I would have never expected. I also have a bread pan that I just used last week. Should I throw it away or take a chance?!

I was cooking a roast beef in one of your 15" by 10" oblong Pyrex. When I opened the oven door to take out the roast, the glass exploded all over the floor and my oven. Not only did it break the dish, it ruined my meal. I had guests over and had to order pizza.

I had finished taking the last of the leftovers out of a Pyrex dish. It was left sitting on the counter for a few hours, so it was at its normal temperature, not super hot nor super cold. I put it in the sink to soak in warm, not hot, water. I was in my bedroom and heard a sudden, very loud noise. I went into my kitchen to find out what caused the noise and saw my Pyrex baking dish in a million pieces in my sink. Thankfully the way it broke, there is the biggest remaining piece over the drain so I won't have to deal with a broken garbage disposal on top of this mess, but I am not happy.

I placed homemade Chex Mix into a Pyrex baking dish, put it on the bottom rack of the oven because I was doing two batches at once - one on the upper in a Corning baking pan and one on the bottom, Pyrex. The oven was on 250 degrees. After about 5-6 minutes, I heard a sound that indicated something had exploded or broken and when opening the oven, the Pyrex dish had shattered and all of the contents were on the bottom of the oven and smoking as some had landed on the oven coils and they were all covered with butter, so there was a lot of smoking. If I had not been standing in the kitchen, it probably would have resulted in a fire in the oven as the contents of the dish, including the shattered glass, were lying on the oven bottom and the coils. I am lucky I was not home alone so I had help with the disaster, but I will not cook in glass dishes, except Corning casseroles in the future.

I have used Pyrex glass dishes my whole life, as did my mother. I put a pork shoulder in a large Pyrex 11x14 dish at 375 degrees. After about 2 hours, I turned the temperature down to 350 degrees and added a 1/2 cup of tap water. The water was not very cold, as it came out of the tap. I didn't run the water long to get really cold water. I just wanted to add some water to keep the fat juices from burning. The second I poured the water in (which I have done a million times), the entire dish exploded, sending glass everywhere. I was in shock. What a mess. I turned the oven off and started to clean up. Glass was on the floor. I didn't see and I knelt on a piece, which cut through me about a 1/4 inch. Blood poured out of my knee like crazy. I was home alone. I called my son who had served in the Army, and he's training. He was able to stop the bleeding using a pressure bandage.

I bought some Pyrex containers because I was happy that finally we had an alternative to the plastic storage units. One issue is when heating up soup, the bowl becomes very hot, making removal from the microwave slightly dangerous. But last week, I took a small bowl of rice out of the refrigerator (a two cup sized Pyrex). I removed the cover and put it in a small apartment sized microwave. I set the timer for 2:22 with the idea that I would check it while I was doing my other setup for my dinner. At 1:43 remaining, I heard an explosion. The Pyrex had exploded in the microwave. There were large shards as well as small slivers. I was amazed that the inside of the microwave wasn't damaged. It seems that Pyrex is in a heavy portion of denial that this incident would ever exist. I sent an email to them, and was acknowledged, but no reply, 5 days later. So now I will do my part and find places to blog this incident. I feel fortunate that it was me, not a smaller child. As it was, my dinner was partially ruined, as is my faith in this product, especially in light of their denials.

Pyrex 2-quart mixing bowl. This bowl is about 5 years old. This bowl was cooling on the counter and it cracked in several places. I still can't believe it happened. I have another bowl. I should I throw it away before it also breaks.

I placed eight pork chops with a small amount of water in a glass Pyrex dish (9 x 13 glass baking dish) and placed it in an oven preheated to approximately 350 degrees. About 20 minutes into the cooking process, I heard a loud sound, as if something exploded in the oven. This sound was followed by steam rolling out around the oven door. Upon opening the oven door, I found glass everywhere. The dish apparently exploded. Fortunately, I did not suffer any injury from such. However, my fear is the "what if" I had opened the door and then the dish exploded in my face. I'm now concerned about the many other Pyrex baking dishes that I own. Are they safe to use?

I was baking a turkey breast in the oven at 350 degrees. After about 90 minutes in the oven, I pulled out the rack in order to test the temperature. When I pushed the rack back into the oven, the dish cracked and exploded. The juices were splashed all over and the turkey breast tilted out of the broken dish and created more of a mess. The juices splashed on my hand and the interior of the oven - a very dangerous, painful event. Why did this happen? Never in all of my married life have I had a problem with my Pyrex. This is a new rectangular, lasagna-style dish with the open handles on either end. Until now, I really liked that dish.

I began to remove a Pyrex cooking sheet from oven. I had been using it to cook bacon. It shattered into large pieces, luckily, inside the oven. But the bacon grease covered the entire oven. A huge mess. It could have been much worse had I been holding the pan and the grease had gotten on me. Pyrex needs to put a warning on these products in large letters or improve their design. Until then, I won't use them.

On June 7, 2012, tonight, my wife casually reached into a cupboard for the 2-quart Pyrex mixing bowl which had been sitting at room temperature for several weeks. As she pulled it from the shelf, it literally exploded in her hands, cutting her in several places while simultaneously scratching and covering our kitchen's oak floor with hundreds of pieces of glass. She was lucky that none of it had entered her eyes as her face was directly in the force of the blast. After several hours of careful cleanup and removal of any exposed foods on the counter-tops, we are angrily searching for answers why this occurred when no hot or cold temperature swings or other unprovoked actions on her part caused this to occur.

I have 4 kids in the house - 12, 5, 3 and 1 years old - often coming in and out of the kitchen or near the kitchen. I am very upset after bringing home a newer boxed set of Pyrex dish, which I was making the best choice for me and my family by buying such a trusted brand. Last night was a horror when I went to remove my Pyrex pan from the oven. It began to explode in my hand. Glass shot back behind me at least 10ft. I thankfully have quick reflexes and put it down on the stove which was not being used where it continued to rupture. Thank God nobody was hurt. One of the pieces of glass just barely missed my 12 year old who heard the loud noise and came running to make sure I was okay.

I baked chicken breast at a temperature of 300 degrees in the oven as usual. I pulled the oven rack out and removed the chicken from the pan and 2 seconds later, it exploded all over my kitchen. As a result, I have a cut on the bottom of my foot and a cut on my arm.

I was baking a loaf of bread for diner using a Pyrex bread pan that I've owned and used for about 3 years now. I took the pan out of the oven and removed the bread from the pan to let it cool because we were eating soon. I left the pan on the countertop to cool. I then went downstairs for a couple of minutes to take care of a load of laundry, and I heard a loud popping sound. When I returned to the kitchen, I found that the pan had exploded. Luckily no one was in the kitchen when this happened, but there were glass shards everywhere in and in the food that I was preparing.

Pyrex cooking dish - I was fixing broccoli and cauliflower in the microwave tonight for dinner. When I took it out after just 5 minutes, the dish exploded. I did not get cut or burned but if any of my grandchildren would have been around, it could have been a different story. The dish says oven and microwave safe. I think not.

We came down this morning after a good night's sleep to a kitchen completely covered in shards of glasses. Looking around for the culprit, we saw that one of our Pyrex glass dishes, not used for close to three months and on a high shelf, had exploded. It was nested inside a slightly larger dish, so the force of the explosion was large enough to propel the pieces a great distance to cover our kitchen. I'll now be getting rid of our other Pyrex products as I'm reluctant to actually be standing in front of one next time it decides to blow!

On May 18, 2012, I was cooking two steaks in some Pyrex cooking ware. When I went back to take my steaks out of the oven, the glassware exploded in my hands as I was trying to get out of my kitchen. From all the hot glass, I step on a big piece of hot glass, causing a laceration to my feet and a cut artery. I am still suffering from it today, because I can't walk on that feet because it bleeds every day since last Friday.

I was baking fish in a Pyrex dish and when I went to remove the dish from the oven after the fish was done, the Pyrex dish exploded while still in my hand causing shards of hot glass to shower my face, arms and chest. I had burns to my face and body. I was very upset, not to mention, shocked and concerned.

I was cooking rib-eye steaks and I was baking them in the oven like I always do. And just minutes after I took them out of the oven, the dish violently exploded. There was glass, grease, and steak pieces all over my kitchen and stove. The supper was totally uneatable. My children were ready to eat, but it was unsafe. It exploded everywhere. The hot pieces of Pyrex melted into my new kitchen floor. I ended up with three small cuts on my feet. It took me two hours to clean this awful mess up. I am shocked this happened. This actually was a dangerous situation. Out of all the years I have cooked with Pyrex, I have never had any problems until now.

I made a chicken pot pie. I put it in the pre-heated oven. When I took it out and set it on top of the stove, it exploded all over the kitchen. Then, 20 seconds later, the rest of it blew. Fortunately, no one who was in the kitchen got hurt. I say exploded, because my pot pie and glass were all over the floor and the stove. I have been using Pyrex for over 20 years, and I have to say I am disappointed with this product. I have to wonder if this company is downsizing their products, just like many other companies have been doing over the years. Ingredients have been decreased to cut costs with many name brand products.

My husband was cooking haddock in a dark-colored Pyrex dish and he took the baking dish out of the oven, which was at 350 degrees and placed it on our glass top stove, burner not on, and he went to scoop the fish out with a stainless steel spatula and the dish exploded and sent glass all over the kitchen - in the kettle of rice, on the back burner and even into the dining room. He was lucky that it did not go into his eyes! How dangerous is that? What is causing these dishes to do this? I have had this dish for years, however, about 5 years ago, it happened with a batch of brownies and I thought maybe I had hit the dish too hard when I placed it on the ceramic tile counter. What will Pyrex be doing for us? I am surprised there are no lawsuits by the dozens! I really think I will be getting rid of all my Pyrex and just use CorningWare instead.

Well, at least I am not alone. I've used Pyrex dishes for years but over the past 3-4 months, I've had three Pyrex dishes explode! I can see I'm not the only one! Two exploded on the stovetop after being pulled from the oven, the other exploded last night inside my oven, wasting a good 3 meals worth of chicken for my family of 5! So much for pre-planning supper for the 2 nights that we would be running in from work/school and making a mad dash to be ready for church on time. Now, it looks like we'll be eating sandwiches or going through a drive thru. Very, very upset about this and will never buy Pyrex again!

My husband took our 13x9 Pyrex baking dish out of the oven and set it on top of the stove to add some Worcestershire sauce and it violently exploded into a million shards. The broth went into the burners, as well as everywhere else. So now I am out a baking dish, a dinner, three hours of cleanup time, and now the ignitors on my burners won't work! The company e-mails us back and more or less "Don't call us, we'll call you." But we are happy to be alive.

9"x13" Pyrex glass pan - Well it was my wife's birthday and I was preparing baked Chinook Salmon that I spent all day fishing for. I preheated the oven to 300 degrees, put it in at 5:00PM and checked it every 15 minutes. At 5:35, after checking at 5:30, we heard a load noise from the kitchen then looked in the oven and the Pyrex pan exploded into pieces like a car side window. Shards of glassed all over the oven ruined the birthday dinner. Thank God it didn't explode when my wife checked it at 5:30. I have pictures of this and want something for this, at least my money back. My wife purchased this cookware at Walmart. It is 2 weeks past the 90-day return policy, so Walmart said to contact Pyrex.

I used a square Pyrex to bake chicken at 350 degrees. I took it out of the oven, sat it on the stove and turned my back to finish cooking. A few moments later, the dish exploded into hundreds of pieces. Hot glass flew everywhere including the floor that now has several burn marks from the hot glass landing on the floor. The number of pieces made it impossible to get out of my kitchen as it was on the floor, counters, stove everywhere. In order to get out of the kitchen, I tried to push pieces of the glass away so a path was clear. In the process, I got several shards in my hand and a large piece in my foot. I would like to know what will be done to fix my floor - my injuries will heal, however, seeing that I rent, I will be responsible for replacing the floor when I leave.

Shattered Pyrex baking dish - Making Easter dinner and had potatoes in my large Pyrex clear dish. I took them out of the oven and within 1 minute, the glass shattered and flew everywhere, not only wrecking my potatoes, but ruined all my dishes. We were shocked at the glass explosion it flew into my next room beside the kitchen. I sure hope that I can somehow have Pyrex reimburse me. Thank you!

I had a brand new dish that I bought from you guys - the whole set. Never again will I buy something from you guys. It was Easter and I had the oven set at 350 degrees. I had corn in the dish. It was in there for four minutes and I heard a big boom. It shattered and all my food was at the bottom. My ham was also in the oven and was no good because glass was on it. It was a honey baked ham that was $70. Needless to say, I’m very pissed about this.

I was preparing dinner on Easter Sunday for 11 family members. I had potatoes roasting in a 375 degree oven. I took the Pyrex dish out and placed it on a dish drainer on the counter top. Within several minutes, the dish literally exploded and glass flew all over the counter and kitchen floor. Four of my grandchildren were thankfully at the kitchen table claiming prizes from the Easter Egg Hunt we had. There was so much hot glass to be cleaned up. It took about 15 minutes. The rubber mat in front of the sink was melted in a few spots where glass had fallen. The only injury was a small shard of glass in my heel.

I use this Pyrex dish almost everyday. It had no cracks or chipping. It was room temperature and I put it into my 425 degree gas oven to bake some mushrooms. After about five minutes, I opened the oven door to check on the mushrooms and the entire dish exploded! Glass went everywhere but luckily did not penetrate my skin. I am very wary of Pyrex bakeware now and will not purchase it ever again!

Our Pyrex baking dish exploded. I had a turkey breast in my oven at 375 degrees for an hour when I heard a loud explosion. I went into the kitchen to find the food sitting on the rack and the whole oven floor filled with glass shards and pieces. This took a long time to clean up and my Easter dinner was ruined. It was a good thing that no one was hurt.

I cooked Chicken Strips in a Pyrex glass baking dish. After 10 minutes, I heard an explosion. I checked the oven and glass was shattered everywhere, including the French Fries I had been cooking on a flat metal pan. I was left with a huge mess and glass fragments went down into the gas stove vents! I have no way to get them out! My oven is now unavailable! I have Easter Dinner to cook and don't know how I can possibly cook a Ham! I am so angry! Not to mention the fact that my daughter had friends over for a sleepover and because of Pyrex, the girls' dinner was ruined and I had to fork out over $40.00 to get them something to eat, not counting the gas to drive to get food that had to be replaced! I have pictures and am keeping the broken glass pieces I was able to collect, after cutting my fingers!

I took the Pyrex glass with non-stick red coating. The coating leaked into the food and when I put the pan on the counter, it shattered. I have pictures.

I was baking chicken for dinner and the oven was set at 375, was cooking for about 15 minutes when I heard a huge explosion. I come running into the kitchen, open the oven and the glass Pyrex bake and store pan exploded and was in a million pieces inside my oven. Now, I have to clean a million shards of glass and I have no clue what we're eating for dinner, very puzzled and pissed.

2 quart rectangle baking dish with lid - I was washing my Pyrex baking dish and cut my hand open on a jagged edge of the inside lip of the baking dish. I had only purchased the dish 2 weeks earlier. Where is the quality control?

I am writing this email to tell you how angry I am with your product. I was cooking dinner, using your blue Pyrex glassware cooking chicken. I had the oven on at 375. When the chicken was ready, I put my oven mitts on and bend down to pull the dish out of the oven; and it shattered in a 100 pieces. It burned my kitchen floor because it was hot, and it cut my hands and feet due to the glass shattering and being hot. I am so disappointed with the product, which I have used for years. I am just glad my daughter or son did not get injured, just myself. And now, my kitchen floor has burn marks due to your product. I wish to hear from you company, and how is my floor going to be fixed because of this?

After having made dinner, my husband and I was eating dinner in the living room when we heard an explosion in the kitchen. Glass was everywhere and the rest of our dinner was ruined. It had almost killed our 17-year old cat! Never, ever again! I suggest that a warning be placed on these Pyrex pie dishes that to never use them for baking, oven, or microwave, or anything! There should be an immediate recall on this crap!

I just want to know about the issue with Pyrex glass cookware. Is this "product defect" and phenomenon also directly related to the stove top sauce pans, which I have been using for several years? I also have a blue casserole-type baking dish that has never caused me any problems (cracks, explosions). I have no idea if I indeed own Pyrex or some other brand(s). These glassware items were given to me. Maybe I should wear protective armor while using them? Anyone knows?

I have seen an exploding 9"x11" Pyrex baking dish, and thank God, I still have my vision! This morning, March 15, 2012, I placed 3 waffles and a sausage in a baking dish in a 400-degree oven and set the timer for ten minutes. I checked the food and decided to turn on the speed bake feature of my oven for approximately 2 minutes.

There is definitely a change in how Pyrex is manufactured, today, and it is not only unacceptable and fraudulent, it is dangerous. I was cooking some pork chops for dinner. After about 30 minutes, I went to check on them and opened the oven door, only for the entire glass casserole dish to literally, explode in a thousand pieces. It completely ruined the dinner, made the food inedible/had to be thrown out, and was extremely hard to clean up all of the pieces that were sprayed throughout the oven and kitchen.

I was having a dinner party for 16 and one of the Pyrex baking dishes cracked in multiple places in the oven! Fortunately it was below the other dishes and the glass didn't wreck that food. Also - fortunately, I had made a lot of food so we had enough to feed everyone! Now I'm gun shy with using the other Pyrex baking dishes that I have! I have a picture of the mesh if you like evidence of the disaster!

I placed hot pasta into a Pyrex baking dish at room temperature tonight, then I started pouring in hot spaghetti sauce. The dish suddenly exploded on the kitchen table into a thousand pieces. No major injuries, only a few small cuts from very small fragments encountered during the clean up. This was part of a new set purchased at BJ's this past week.

Spout on all their pouring bowls are a joke. To keep them from having a large discard rate in production they have chopped and made a wide spout that lets boiling water run down the outside of the bowl that can scald your leg and foot. To hell with your well-being, it grabs that nickel. If you want to see a spout that works, look at a Starbucks French Press Coffee. They never drip and they put the hot coffee in the cup, not on your leg and foot. These people should be held in a class action law suit for all the people that have been injured, due to these people want to cut cost and make a bad product.

We recently bought a Pyrex baking dish and it exploded as we took it out of the oven! Glass hit my face and I was lucky not to get any in my eyes. It totally ruined our meal and it took over an hour to clean up all the shattered glass from our kitchen. This product is unsafe and has been known to be a risk for some years now. This isn't the Pyrex that we all grew up on. Somewhere along the line, they changed the manufacturing process and now it's dangerous.

I was cooking ribs at 350 when my dish exploded in my oven. Glass went everywhere. Not only was my dish broken, my ribs and potatoes were covered in glass. I had to spend an additional $22.73 for carry out dinner.

Today, I had been doing some cooking which required my Pyrex jug. After I had finished using it, I then washed it. I washed it in my sink then put it to dry. When I can top it away, I picked it up and it exploded in my hand like nothing I had ever seen before. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. It went like a bomb had gone off! Hundreds of pieces of glass all over my kitchen. I do count myself very lucky as it didn't cut me or go into my eyes! I was pleased my daughter was not with me at that time. I would like a reason for this as to why this could have happened. I use everything Pyrex and never before like this happened.

I was cooking dinner in my Pyrex cookware. As I was removing it from the oven, it exploded in my hand sending shards and pieces of Pyrex all over my kitchen. It terrified me. I was in shock as dinner lay on the kitchen floor. The broken pieces melted my vinyl flooring as well. I posted what happened on my Facebook and was stunned to see how many of my friends have experienced similar things.

I went to take my Pyrex dish out of the oven and put it on the stove. It exploded everywhere! Thankfully, I was not hurt but came close to being.

I received a 20 piece Pyrex cooking set for Christmas. I went to use it on today for the first time and 2 of my lids were bent. What should I do?

I was cooking two chicken breasts at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. The pan exploded inside my oven and dinner was ruined. It took me completely by surprise and I’m glad it did not happen while I was holding it.

I was heating up some chicken nuggets for my kids when my glass Pyrex baking pan shattered after only 12 minutes in center of a 325 degree oven! I am so upset because I’ve been reading how these things shatter while cooling and had I taken it out a minute before, my kids would have had glass explode in their faces!

I had salmon baking in a 9 x 13 Pyrex at 350 in the oven. As I was taking it out of the oven, it exploded. Some glass was inside the oven and the rest was all over the floor. Luckily, my daughters were not around.

I was baking chicken in square glass Pyrex when we heard a loud noise in the oven. The dish had shattered into a million pieces. I have used Pyrex for over 30 years and have never had this happen. I have a kitchen full of Pyrex, which I use almost exclusively for baking and am now concerned that their quality isn't the same as it has been. These Pyrex baking dishes have the red insets in the handles, and were bought only a year ago.

Last April, I was making meatballs (as I had several times before) in a 9x13 Pyrex pan. When I pulled it out of the oven and placed it on the counter, it exploded. Dinner was ruined, of course, but one of the long sides of the pan fell from the counter, cutting my big toe. As it turns out, the tendon in that toe had been severed, requiring surgery. Multiple casts, physical therapy and doctor appointments were required to get back to normal and I'm still trying to get there. A lot of these complaints seem focused on ruined dinner. I thought I would share my experience so people could see there is more to lose than $30-$40 (in my case, a lot of time, pain, and $15,000+). I also hope this product will do the right thing and put stronger warning labels and education in place.

I had a roast in the oven in a Pyrex glass baking dish. When it was done, I pulled it out of the oven and placed it on the stove top. Within a couple of minutes, I heard a loud pop and glass went flying. Luckily, none of it hit me or my cat who was sleeping on the floor nearby. Some of the hot glass shards landed on an anti-fatigue mat I just received as a gift for my birthday in September 2011 and melted it. The mat is now ruined and it will cost me over $120 to replace it. I'm afraid to use any of the remaining Pyrex dishes I have and will have to replace those with metal ones.

My wife put a casserole in a Pyrex dish into the oven. After about 20 minutes, we heard a loud noise in the kitchen. When we checked, we found that the Pyrex dish had exploded in the oven. We have used Pyrex for probably 40 years, and never had a problem. The dish that exploded, was one that we had purchased within the past year. Luckily, it was in the oven when it exploded, and no one was injured.

My small glass Pyrex casserole dish that was purchased a year ago, exploded and combusted. My fiance was cutting potatoes and the dish was in front of him where it has been for 2 days. The dish was not under any extreme heat or cold, it just combusted out of no where. It wasn't even being used. This could really have caused damage to my fiances face or body. I'm just thankful my kids were not in the room.

In spending money on ingredients and taking the time to grill, slice, dice, and combine the components for an awesome chicken multi-layered loaded nachos meal for my house gathering, after taking the Pyrex dish out of the oven and setting it on the unheated glass stove top, within 5-10 seconds the Pyrex dish literally exploded loudly sending glass shards (big and small) in every direction. From that explosion, too small pieces lodged in my arm and hand. Although, I was pelted with the glass shards (luckily, I had just turned my face away from the dish), my guests and I escaped “serious” injury.

We had a party at our house, with approximately 20 guests. We were warming a variety of food items in Pyrex dishes in our ovens, when one of the Pyrex dishes inside the oven literally exploded into thousands of slivers of glass, spraying the glass throughout the oven, over all of the food in the oven. It was a recently purchased Pyrex dish. Had the dish exploded, while being removed from the oven, or shortly thereafter, while serving food from it, there could have been serious injury to a number of guests attending the party.

I was having company over and was baking 2 meatloafs. When the timer went off, I opened the oven and one of my Pyrex meatloaf / bread loaf pans broke in half. Glass was in my oven and in the other meatloaf. Dinner was ruined. My husband and I together with our company of 4 had to go out to dinner, which we had to pay for. We were so embarrassed by what had happened. I just brushed it off, until tonight, while I was watching the channel 15 news here in AZ. They were talking of the breakage of this glassware. So now that I know why it broke, I will never buy their product again. It's sad because I grew up using their products.

I brought a cake pan in a insulated carrier. I baked a ham in the pan. After it had sit on a cooling plate for about two hours, it exploded. I do not have my receipt to prove I had purchased it.

After 3 instances over the past 3 years with our Pyrex dishes breaking/exploding, I am regretfully informing you that I am disappointed with your products, and can no longer purchase it. Two of the instances, the Pyrex dishes were in the oven with the lid on. The oven was on 300 degrees F, and there was no instance of "hot shock", or the change in extreme temperatures.

I preheated my oven to 350 and put my steaks in my Pyrex pan. 20 minutes later, I heard a loud bang from my kitchen. I went and couldn't find anything, then checked my steaks and they were sitting amongst shards of glass. I am waiting for my oven to cool enough to clean the huge dangerous mess.

I made my oven fried chicken in my Pyrex last night. I have always used Pyrex and only once had it cracked. I didn't think much of it, and threw it away. Last night was a different story. I took the chicken out of the oven, and put it on a serving plate. I put the Pyrex on a hot plate to cool. After dinner, I set it up with the rest of the night's dirty dishes to be washed. Two hours later, while visiting with my guests in the kitchen, the Pyrex exploded for no reason. Thank God my grandchildren were not near it, when this happened. There is glass everywhere. It exploded into a ton of pieces.

I put chicken in the dish which I put in oven at 375 degrees. The dish broke all over my oven. I have used this dish in the oven before. Will this get replaced?

Last night, I was using a Pyrex glass baking sheet, I believe a 9x11. I was frying bite sized chicken in a frying pan and then transferring the golden crisp chicken into the oven sheet when it just exploded. Glass shot everywhere and my initial reaction was to jump back. As I looked down, my kitchen floor was also covered in my blood. I had first thought that I had cut off one of my toes. While gushing blood, I wrapped up my foot and went to the hospital where I received 7 stitches on my toes. I still have not seen what my foot looks like and a do not want to.

I made a tater-tot casserole and placed it in the Pyrex 9x13 glass pan as I have done numerous times. About 15 minutes later, I heard the strangest noise from my oven. I opened the oven to see the pan had exploded into 30+ pieces and the casserole was running all over the oven. What a mess! I used to be a fan of Pyrex pans... No more!

I had my Pyrex dish exploded tonight, along with my dinner. There are tiny pieces of glass everywhere. This was not caused by the user. It malfunctioned inside the oven, and I heard a huge explosion, and looked inside to find glass everywhere. I have read many things on the internet about this, and learned that it is a growing problem. I have taken pictures to prove what happened, and even have a pic with the Pyrex logo on it. This could have been a lot worse, resulting in injury to me, or my family. I just recently got this dish within the last 6 months. They can't deny that it wasn't Pyrex. I got the pictures to prove it.

A little over a week ago, we bought a new 13X9 glass pyrex baking dish in preparation for our Super Bowl party. We were making our normal taco dip that we have made countless times in a 13x9 glass pan we received as a wedding gift in 1993. This time without warning the pan exploded into pieces scattering glass across our kitchen. My husband suffered a few minor cuts.

I was cooking cheesy julienne potatoes at 450 degrees. The dish was room temperature with warm ingredients and a preheated oven. It was cooking for about 10 minutes when I heard a big pop in the oven. I opened the oven door and the glass dish was shattered everywhere along with a cheesy potato mess. I have a picture. This was the second Pyrex dish that exploded on me. The first was several years ago. I was making chicken nuggets and took them out of the oven and set them on the oven and it just exploded. No one was hurt either time. I thought I would try Pyrex again because I like the glass but I won't use it anymore.

Last night I removed my Pyrex dish from the oven to stir the food that was in it and it exploded. There was/is glass everywhere.

I had an 11X17 Pyrex glass baking dish soaking on 1/30/12, and came home, and started washing it in hot, soapy water. It cracked in millions of pieces with one large, sharp piece stuck in my left hand, wrist area, which created a large hole. On the way to the emergency room, I soaked two dish towels full of blood, and could not control the bleeding. I received 8 stitches, and was told that I was "so lucky" to be here to talk about it.

I was preparing dinner, a fillet of S'wai baked in the oven. I wrapped the fillet in tin foil and set it down in a Pyrex casserole dish. I cooked it for about 22 minutes on 400 degrees. When I pulled out the dish and set it on the top of the stove, the dish exploded! Maybe exploded is a bit drastic sounding, but let's just say it blew itself apart into shards all over the kitchen; otherwise, a small explosion of the materials.

My name is Balbina ** and I have a Pyrex dish that split into two whilst having hot water in it. It was brand new as well. It was quite dangerous as there was hot water inside the dish which could have burnt me.

I was using my 9 x 13 pan in a 375 degree preheated oven. I opened the oven after about 1/2 hour to turn my ribs over and as soon as I opened the oven door, the pan exploded. Glass went everywhere. I was able to close the door before the shards of glass got me. What a mess in my oven, needless to say, and my ribs. I would really appreciate a replacement pan. I don't expect them to replace the ribs, but if they want to, that would be great. I’m looking forward to receiving my new pan.

I have been doing research on BPA and PC in plastic. I was excited to buy the Pyrex set of BPA free glass bowls with plastic lids. I just realized that the lids contain PC. I am very concerned that this harmful toxin is in the lids of the set I just purchased. I feel betrayed.

I purchased a set of new Pyrex dishes with plastic lids. I used the 9x13 pan for the first time. A few weeks after the purchase, on the first use, we made a boxed cake mix, poured it in the pan, and placed it in the oven at 350 degrees. A couple of minutes later, we heard a loud noise, opened the oven, and the dish has exploded into thousands of little pieces, and the unbaked cake mix was spread all over the racks, and the bottom of the oven. I do have a photo.

My round Pyrex baking dish exploded in the oven. I was cooking Au Gratin Potatoes at 375 degrees in the oven. It had been cooking for about 15 minutes then all of a sudden I hear a loud bang and steam started blazing out of the oven door edges. When I opened the oven, my round baking dish was in pieces all over and the food was splattered everywhere inside and on the heating element. I will never use their baking dishes again. Someone could have been seriously hurt.

I was cooking chicken breasts with a Pyrex dish I've had for over a year in a 325 oven for just 10 minutes with my grandson. Upon opening the oven to add another dish to it, the Pyrex pan exploded sending glass and chicken grease all over the place. After reading all of these other complaints, this is the last Pyrex pan/bowl/dish I'll ever use or give as a gift. I hope Pyrex is paying attention.

My husband just pulled a Pyrex casserole dish from the oven, set at 350 degrees and in for 25 minutes. He walked away to set the table and it exploded all over our kitchen. I was standing next to him and our son was in the living room. It was extremely loud and dangerous. No one was hit by glass, but it could have been a trip to the emergency room. It’s terrifying. We took pictures.

Last night I made macaroni and cheese. I used a 2-month-old Pyrex 9x12 baking pan that was at room temperature, added the warm ingredients to it, and put it into a preheated (375 degree) oven to finish cooking. About 20 minutes after putting it in the oven, I heard a loud boom and opened my oven door to find that the pan had shattered into hundreds of pieces and the entirety of my oven was covered in pasta, cheese, and tiny shards of glass.

I was cooking a meatloaf in a glass Pyrex dish @ 350 degrees. After one hour, I opened the oven door and added a little tap water (have done this a thousand times) and the dish exploded. What a mess! Thankfully no one was hurt. I am finished with Pyrex!

I spent the morning cooking. I had ginger bread, a curry, homemade pierogies and two pitchers of iced tea on the counter when a Pyrex dish (totally cooled and recently put away from the dishwasher) exploded all over my kitchen and into all the food I made. Fortunately, my one-year old was on the other side of a baby gate with me standing with my back to the kitchen (my body blocking him from the spray of glass shards) talking to him or we both could have been seriously injured. This is ridiculous!

I bought 2 Pyrex casserole dishes at Wal-Mart recently. Today, I used the 8 x 8 to heat ravioli with spaghetti sauce in a 350 degree oven. After about 5 minutes, the dish exploded in the oven. Glass everywhere, I was cut twice by tiny shards of glass. The casserole was on the bottom of the oven. My husband had to do the clean up. It took forever and was dangerous. I will never use Pyrex again and I want to take my larger Pyrex dish back to Wal-Mart. How come nothing is being done?

I finished baking a batch of brownies in your glass baking tray, as I removed it from the oven, I heard a loud pop, and the entire pan exploded in my hands. My hands were wearing oven mitts, but some glass shards hit my arms and face. I used to only use your products, but I will never use or purchase any again until you fix the problems. It is very unsafe.

I baked chicken at 400F for 40 minutes. Upon removing and placing on top of the stove (grill not heated), the 8x13 glass baking dish exploded in hundreds of small and a few larger pieces. My wife was hit by hot flying glass. What is going on here? The dish was brand new, used once last week for a similar meal at similar temperature. Someone is going to get seriously hurt here.

I was just about to remove a potato casserole from a 350 oven when I heard an odd crackling sound coming from the oven. My brand new Pyrex 9” x 12” baking dish had exploded into thousands of tiny shards all over the inside of the oven. I had just purchased the two piece baking set in December. My family could have been seriously injured. How dare they allow this product to continue on the market!

I cooked a meatloaf in a 9x13 pryex baking disk at a temperature of four hundred degrees for one hour. When I took the dish out of the oven and placed it on the counter, the dish exploded and shattered into lots of little pieces, one hitting my daughter’s ankle causing a burn to her ankle.

We've had a couple thick glass casserole dishes for a while. We've used our bigger one, many, many times, and never had any issues with baking, cooling down, or refrigerating. We made a dessert last night that needed to be refrigerated, and we used our smaller one (which we had used in the fridge before). The ingredients were at room temperature, when we layered them in the dish, we put it in the fridge to cool, and we took it out an hour or so later with no issues. After we'd eaten some, we put it back in the fridge and left it overnight. This morning, we found that the glass had completely shattered. Thankfully we did not get hit with the "exploding glass", that other people are experiencing, but we still had to clean up glass shards from all over our fridge. I'm shocked that so many people are getting injured by this, and nothing has been done about it!

I was using 4 cup measuring cup with the handle on it. I put it in microwave on 1 minute on normal setting. I heard a noise towards the microwave, opened the door, and went to take the bowl out of the oven with a pot holder and the handle came apart. It was shattered along with stringy parts of glass hanging onto the little piece of handle that was left on cup. Thank God I had pot holder covering my hands.

Cooking fish in Pyrex 13x9 pan at 350 F. After 10 minutes I heard a pop. Found the pan had exploded.

I had a cooled dish from the night before on the counter. I went to wash it in warm soapy water. It exploded. I was lucky because my hands were out of the sink at the time, but that could have been a disaster. And the temperature shift was so minor that it makes no sense. This product needs to be tempered.

I had a bad experience using your cookware. I was using the 9x13 baking pan dishes baking a peach cobbler at 350 degrees. When I took the peach cobbler from the oven I heard cracking noises as I sat it on the top of the stove it exploded into thousands of little pieces. The glass from the cookware cut my face and now I have scars from the glass sticking in my face. I have read many articles from your product and I was wondering why the product is still on the shelves of many stores. This product is very dangerous and its needs to be address as soon as possible with your ceo and company Pyrex.

I was baking cornbread in my shallow round Pyrex, and I heard a loud pop noise, I opened my oven to find hundreds of little pieces of glass from my Pyrex, it had shattered. What a mess to clean up. Not to mention the fear of using my other Pyrex cookware. What a waste of money.

We have a Pyrex, 6 cup, 8x8x2 container, with a plastic lid. With the Pyrex container at room temperature, I placed some just boiled sausages into the container to cool. About a minute later, the container shattered sending glass fragments across the counter and onto the floor.

I purchased the 4 qt oblong thing or something looking very much like it. I only used it three times around 350 degrees prior but took it up to 425 today. It blew up in my stove. Luckily dinner was in a bag. I can only fear what might have happened if it blew up when my daughter checked her brownies or something. Exploding glass ovenware, eh? Nice product. Hope you made money pinching corners last quarter on quality. My 20-year old pieces are bulletproof.

I purchased an 8"x8" glass Pyrex baking dish on December 31, 2011. On January 3, 2012, my son used it for the first time, baking a Meal-in-a-Bag. After 20 minutes in the oven, the dish exploded all over the inside of the oven. During the cleanup process, he was cut by glass and required a trip to the emergency room for stitches. I have other Pyrex dishes bought over the years that have been fine; however, it appears their new products are of very poor and dangerous quality. I am shocked at what I have read on this site. I will continue to share with friends and others about our experience to prevent this from happening to someone else.

Pyrex 4.8 quart pan (cake pan). Just bought this pan after Christmas 2011. Used it for the first time Jan. 6, 2012. Preheated the oven to 375 degree. Put the pan of chicken in the oven. 15 minutes later, heard a pop, then another pop. Opened oven door to find the new Pyrex pan in hundreds of pieces. Had the bottom of the pan and the food covered with foil.

I got my son a 14 piece Pyrex dish set for Christmas. Today, he used the large bowl for the first time. It came out of the fridge, he ate what he had in it, then placed it in the sink with warm water. When he came down he found it had exploded into three or four pieces. It looks like he's not alone in this. I am shocked to see all the complaints.

I used a Pyrex square (clear) baking dish to bake a small ham wrapped in foil with glaze on it on Christmas eve. When I got it out of the oven and set it on top of my stove, I heard a pop. Since there was glaze all over the bottom of my dish and an alum wrapped ham, I didn't see any obvious cracks, but when I put the dish in the sink water, It must have come apart and my son cut his thumb pretty bad. I had to take him to the urgent care for stitches. I think there must have been a hairline crack in the dish (from the pop noise it had made) because it just came apart when it got into the dishwater.

A glass Pyrex dish exploded in my oven seconds before I would've removed it. It shattered into hundreds of pieces. This caused me ruined meal, destroyed dish, and created a major mess.

The dish was bought on Nov 12th. On Dec 24th, I cooked a potato casserole at 350 for 45min. The casserole was out of the oven for 30 min when it shattered sending glass all over the kitchen and even into the living room. It was amazing that no one was injured.

I baked two french toast strata for a New Year's Day party on Jan 1, 2012. I have had both 9x13 Pyrex dishes for a year or two. The strata were baked at 375 and then placed on the counter to cool in the kitchen, which was also warm (the counter was definitely not cold). After approximately 20 min, we heard a loud explosion; one of the Pyrex dishes had exploded, throwing glass shards into the other french toast dish, as well as a quiche and all the other food on the counter. Everything had to be thrown out. This is unacceptable. I will never purchase another Pyrex product again.

I was preparing a roaster chicken in my oven at 350 for two hours. After and hour and 20 minutes, there was an explosion and my dish shattered in a million pieces. This is the second time this happened to a Pyrex. This perplexes me that this would happen to a dish that I have had for over 15 years! Dinner was salvageable but looking at the complaints, it seems the temperature is very similar (350-375). Is this a consequence? Is there research out there that you should only use it at a higher temperature?

I put some snacks on a brand new Pyrex pie plate and it exploded in the oven. I have an old Pyrex pie plate that I have used in the same manner for years and have never had a problem until using this new one. No injuries except the mess to clean up in the oven itself.

I used a Pyrex to make caramel for a flan and the Pyrex exploded in my hands when I was moving the sugar. The melted sugar covered the top of my stove causing a fire. The hot pieces of glass burned my feet.

My Pyrex dish exploded in the convection oven at 375 degrees, when I was using it to reheat a meal, the day after Christmas. I just bought the dish about a month ago and have used it a bunch of times prior. It was in the oven about 20 minutes, when I heard a load pop, and looked over, and the dish had shattered into a million pieces. Fortunately, it was all contained in the oven, but what a mess to clean up. I have never heard of this before, but it apparently is more common than I thought.

Yesterday, December 27, I was roasting half an acorn squash in a square Pyrex dish at 375 degrees, with about a quarter-inch of water in the bottom. After about 25-30 minutes, I noticed the water had evaporated, and went to add more to the pan. The water was lukewarm, but no matter. It exploded with a huge bang, sending glasses flying through my kitchen and of course all over the oven.

We preheated the oven like the instructions said for new Pyrex glass cookware to cook some enchiladas. As soon as I grabbed each end and lifted it about a foot out of the stove, it exploded in my hands throwing glass and food everywhere. I got cuts on both hands and burns as well from reacting trying to catch the mess. The impact busted the front of the stove which is one large glass face into a thousand pieces. That alone cost me $80 to replace. What a piece of *** they are selling to the public.

On Christmas Day 2011, I placed a vegetable casserole in a 9x13 Pyrex dish in my oven set at 375 degrees. After approximately 25 minutes, we saw smoke coming out of the oven, so we opened the door of the oven and found that the Pyrex dish had exploded all over the oven walls, floor and ceiling as well as the other food in the oven.

My Pyrex 3 quart Easy Grab oblong container shattered into a million pieces after I took it out of a 375 degree oven and set it on the (cool) stove top. Hot glass shards were everywhere. I had to not only throw away the food that was inside the dish, but all of the food on the stove and countertop around it for fear of dangerous glass contamination. I am so glad this happened to me and not to one of the clients that I personal chef for, because I rely on Pyrex for my business and often pack clients' meals in these exact containers.

Christmas day 2011, 30 minutes into baking two pans of lasagna just when family was arriving for dinner, we heard a loud crashing sound that came from the kitchen. My husband opened the oven and discovered one pan had shattered completely throwing glass and lasagna all over the oven.

Okay, this is my third time trying to complete a post on here and it is getting a little aggravating. On Christmas day I was baking a highly anticipated cornbread dressing in my new Pyrex glass baking dish. The oven was set to 350 degrees and the dressing baked for about 45 minutes. My son removed the dish and placed it on a well ventilated trivet. About ten minutes later he heard a loud pop and turned around to see the pan had shattered into a thousand tiny pieces all over the kitchen. My grandchildren had left the kitchen just moments before! I have never had a pan do this before and was in total shock. There were no drastic temperature changes either. When I purchased this pan it was part of a combo pack (two oblong pans). You can be darn sure I won't be using the other one for baking. I've owned many Pyrex pans over the years and this has never happened.

12/23/11 my wife had been making Christmas cookies about 4 days earlier with the intention of making more latter. Since she was unable to resume the baking I cleaned up the kitchen island of all the baking tools and dishes. I hand washed a large 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup in lukewarm water and set it in the strainer down in the sink upside down to dry. There was nothing piled on it, in fact only 3 other small items were in the sink. I then made a few batches of cookies from a store bought bag mix so we would have enough, not using the measuring cup. About an hour to hour and a half later the last batch was on the counter and I had my back turned working away from the sink luckily.

I put chicken wings in the Pyrex glass 9x13 dish in a 400 degree oven as I have in the past with this dish. This Xmas eve, I heard an explosion and my gosh, there was glass and sauce everywhere! It didn't just explode, it shattered into thousands of pieces! I have a double oven and it blew in every crack. Thank goodness, no one was walking by when it happened! What a mess, I think I will find glass for weeks with this mess. It ruined my appetizers for our holiday but it could have ended up a lot worse. I don't understand, what is happening all of a sudden.

The 9X13 glass Pyrex baking dish absolutely ruined our Christmas dinner. I had baked cinnamon apples in my Pyrex baking dish (I have used Pyrex for many years). Company had arrived and I opened the oven door to check the apples and just as I bent over the dish to stick a fork in the top of the apple to see if they were ready, the dish exploded into a million pieces throwing glass everywhere (ruining all my other dishes that were in the oven). I screamed as it scared me, my son ran in to see what had happened. A guest who seen this remarked how they had never seen anything like it before.

My husband just bought me a 9x13 for Christmas. I went to wash it in lukewarm water this morning (1st time) and it exploded into millions of pieces. The force was so bad that glass shards stuck in my hands and I have 5 nice cuts between both hands! There was glass everywhere in the sink, all over the counter, on the floor, and all over my clothes. There must have been thousands of pieces. I am thankful that it didn't hit my eye or my 2-year-old daughter that had been standing beside me about 30 seconds earlier!

I had a Pyrex 9x13 dish explode after I baked corn bread in it. It had set out about 15 minutes on the table when I heard an explosion, glass flew everywhere! Luckily, my children were not in the room or they could have been cut from the glass pieces. I had to throw all of our food out because there were slivers of glass in everything! This was a new dish and I would like to be refunded for it!

It just happened. I took out layer bars baked in Pyrex 9 x 13 glass bake pan. I was sitting on counter cooling and heard a large explosion. Glass all over kitchen. Luckily no one was hurt. Glass was everywhere and layer bars in the garbage. I will be contacting Pyrex. This is a fairly new baking dish and only the second time using it.

On Thanksgiving 2011, I decided to use my grandmother’s plum color 9x13 casserole to rise the dinner rolls and bake. After 5 hours of rising, I put them in the oven to bake. After taking them out and sitting them on the stove, I buttered the top. They were beautiful. Within 10 seconds I heard an explosion, then a 2nd explosion, and a 3rd. Glass flew everywhere. I emailed Pyrex within 2 days to find out why this happened. I received a response from April to call. The lady who answered tried to make it seem like I did something to cause this. I let her know I’ve done this numerous times and never had this problem. She apologized and sent me a new casserole dish.

Terrible. I was cooking boneless ribs on 350 in a 9 x 13 dish and after 15 minutes in the oven, I heard a big bang and the Pyrex dish shattered in the oven. Broken glass was everywhere, which ruined our dinner. I had to go and order out to feed my family. What if it would have exploded as I was taking it out of the oven? This is a dangerous product and should be recalled.

I was baking a pork roast in a 13x9 Pyrex dish. I checked the temperature of meat thermometer after about 40 min. Added small amount of water to pan and the thing just exploded. I don't mean cracked - I mean 40-50 pieces of glass went flying everywhere. I was in process of closing the oven door so most stayed inside, but glass did also fly out of oven all over kitchen floor. So lucky I wasn't injured.

Was cooking a meatloaf in the oven in a Pyrex 9x5 loaf pan. After about 50 minutes, I heard a loud explosion from the kitchen. I opened the oven door to see the bottom of the oven covered in glass. I actually had a second meatloaf in the oven and had to through that out too. Will probably be throwing out the rest of my Pyrex pans.

My Pyrex 9x13 exploded in THE oven after maybe 10-15 minutes at 400F. The Pyrex had been taken out of the drawer and had not been in the refrigerator. The contents of the casserole were not cold. I've been cooking in my older Pyrex for twenty years with no problem. This was a new Pyrex.

Pyrex 9x13 exploded while cooking chicken in oven after 30 minutes at 350 degrees. A month ago, a Pyrex 8x11 exploded when taken out of oven 350 degrees cooking sweet potato. Ruined dinner, mess in kitchen, throwing out all my Pyrex dishes and will tell all my friends and family to do the same.

When taking out baked brussel sprouts from the oven, the glass pan exploded in the middle of our kitchen. At no time was the pan ever in contact with anything other than the air. This is the second Pyrex pan that has exploded in the past two months. The last one exploded when the glass pan was heating chicken in the oven. There is a serious quality control issue that could result in serious injury, should exploding glass enter one's body or eye. My family plans to warn our friends of the dangers using this product. I shall also lodge a formal complaint with the appropriate agencies, especially in light of the substantial number of complaints listed about the product.

Pyrex 9 by 13 exploded while in the oven for 15 minutes of cooking turkey meatballs. I used it many times without any problems. Not good! I will no longer use Pyrex.

I purchased two baking pans, and prepared a cake that ended up all over the oven. The pan exploded after six minutes in the oven at 325 degrees. What a mess. I will not use the second pan or buy any more Pyrex cookware in the future. What has happened to this product? I have older cookware, Pyrex cookware, and I am now afraid to use these again.

I was cooking dinner using a 3 quart Pyrex glass baking dish. Dish was in for 25 minutes at 450 degrees. I took the dish out of oven, took out food, and went to put dish in sink. Literally, it sounded like a bomb went off. The dish shattered in my hand. There were pieces of glass in the oven mitt. Sharp hot glass everywhere!! Thank god I was not hurt. Thank god I had an oven mitt on.

Terrible. After 20 minutes in the oven at 375, the Pyrex dish shattered in the oven. Broken glass and ruined our dinner. What if it would have exploded as I was taking it out of the oven? This is a dangerous product and should be recalled.

While baking salmon in my brand new Pyrex 9X13 baking dish, it exploded after 15 minutes at 375 degrees. There was not a drastic change in temperatures. The dish had not been in the fridge beforehand. The glass was a pain to clean up. It could have been a lot worse and could have caused a lot of harm.

I use many Pyrex dishes. I purchased a new rectangular 2 qt baking dish on 11/29/11. On 12/3/11, I used it for the first time to bake lasagna at 350'. Right after I checked progress at 35 minutes, I mean right after I had stuck my face into the oven to look at it, the Pyrex dish exploded in the oven. Sharp glass shards and boiling hot lasagna were everywhere, but thankfully only in the oven! I feel very lucky, but will never, ever use Pyrex dishes again.

I have used Pyrex for more years than I care to mention, but after last nights experience I will not be using again. After baking pork chops at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, the dish exploded as soon as I removed it from the oven.

About 45 minutes into cooking a chicken in a Pyrex dish, we heard a loud explosion from the oven. The dish had exploded into hundreds of pieces. The oven was set at 350 degrees, the normal baking temperature. It was a real mess to clean up the oven. Chicken dinner was wasted. Scary situation for no apparent reason, i.e. no change in temp, pressure, etc.

I was taking the scalloped potatoes out of the stove and it exploded. There were shards all over the kitchen. Luckily, I was the only one close enough and I wear glasses. Several shards from the handles hit my face. Pyrex does not respond to any questions about the safety of their product.

On Thanksgiving, I had just taken my Pyrex casserole filled with stuffing out of the oven, and set it on my cook top in preparation for my guests, to begin the buffet line. All other foods were nicely set up beside and around this Pyrex dish, and everything looked so appetizing. Just as my first guest was about to partake, this dish exploded with glass and pieces flying everywhere, covering the nearby foods. I was devastated. Although, I am thankful nobody got hurt or burned from this ordeal, I am irritated and annoyed that this could happen, after many uses of this product.

On Thanksgiving, I was roasting my 15 lb. turkey. After two hours of cooking, there was a very loud bang which came from the oven and steam immediately started spewing out the closed door and the fire alarm began ringing. I opened the door to find the turkey resting on the oven grate and the roaster in a million pieces. I had intended to go outside with my grandsons. Had I done that, there would have been an oven fire because of the fat dripping down onto the gas flame in the broiler. I cannot stress the danger of using any product that can explode "at will." I had the best outcome under the circumstances. There could have been terrible burns had this happened as the turkey was removed from the oven or there could have been a fire in my apartment building. These products should be removed from store shelves. They provide a false sense of security.

I had a Pyrex baking dish explode in my oven tonight. Used exactly as I have a number of times previously. The oven was full of glass shards. Pictures are available if confirmation is required.

I had been baking rolls in my 9x13 Pyrex pan all morning. At one point, it was sitting on my glass cook top, and the burner got turned on. It was on for less than 10. About 4 hours later, I washed all of the pans including that one. I used a steel wool pad to get the burn marks off. I then set it on the Formica counter top face up, while I finished the other dishes. It was there for 15 minutes. Out of nowhere it exploded! No one touched it, nothing fell on it, and obviously it was room temperature. One piece flew over and hit my daughter in the wrist, as she was working on her computer 8 feet away! What the heck! That had a potential of causing very serious injury!

For Thanksgiving, I made a corn casserole in a Pyrex dish and packed it in its Corning portables carrier. I placed it on the floor of the passengers seat, where no one was sitting so I know it did not get hit by anything. When we opened up the carrier to put the casserole on the table, the dish was broken in many pieces. There was no possible way we could eat it. This was a very expensive set ($40-50, as I recall) that I received in the last 2-3 years as a gift. I thought I had somehow done something wrong with the carrier, though I was very careful with it. After reading all these other submissions of broken dishes, I know it was not my fault.

On November 24, 2011 I was baking cornbread for our Thanksgiving meal in my 8 x 8 inch Pyrex dish - one that I had received in a set for Christmas 2010. I removed the finished bread from the oven, set it down on a glass-top JennAire range and it exploded into thousands of pieces within seconds.

In preparation for Thanksgiving dinner, I had prepared stuffing, and was baking it in my 9X13 casserole dish on 350 degrees. When I removed it from the oven and placed it on top of the stove, it exploded into a million pieces. It burned and cut my arm, but I feel lucky that it was not more extensive than what it was. I am very concerned about the other Pyrex pieces that have. Help!

Today, Thanksgiving Day, I was cooking our capon in a 350 deg. oven. The large Pyrex baking dish exploded with a bang, filling the oven with glass shards. The bird, I assume is ruined. It was sitting in a pile of glass. At age 59, and a good cook, I've been using Pyrex all my life. This particular dish was brand new - my old dish being at a friend's house. I thought when I bought it that it didn't seem the same - weight or feel, as my old Pyrex. Clearly, I am now afraid to ever use Pyrex again. I will certainly let family and friends know this shocking experience, and advise them never to use Pyrex, except as a container - certainly not for cooking. By the way, we couldn't afford to have a $30 holiday bird ruined.

I have used Pyrex dishes in the oven for years. Today (on Thanksgiving no less), I was baking an apple crisp in an 8x8 Pyrex dish which I bought recently. I had used it last week to cook the same apple crisp with no problem. The oven door was closed and we heard a crash in the oven, the dish had exploded into hundreds of pieces. I was baking at 350 degrees. Beware and be careful when using Pyrex. I don't know if I'll be using glass baking dishes again.

My Pyrex baking dish exploded and the glasses were everywhere. I had a warm Mac-n-cheese dish, did not expose to any extreme temps, just put on counter in friend's house for Thanksgiving. About 10 min. later, it just popped and shattered, the glasses were everywhere. Very strange! No apparent reason! I looked at the warnings when I got back home since I had bought the dish the day before and we followed all consumer directions. It could have been horrible if someone was close, especially our children! I had to put one star to post this at all but obviously I would indicate a "0" if I could.

I made a squash dish for Thanksgiving dinner. The oven was pre-heated to 325 degrees. The squash had been steamed previously and mixed with olive oil and spices. It was warm when placed in the Pyrex glass 9 x 13 dish. It then sat at room temperature for an hour or so before being placed in the oven.

I was baking cheese stuffed manicotti in the oven at 350 degree F when I heard a loud bang from the oven. I opened the oven door to find glass and sauce scattered throughout. The meal was one minute from completion after cooking for 29 minutes. I have used Pyrex baking dishes for at least 15 years and never had a problem, until now. This particular baking dish (13X9) was my favorite and most used. The dish was at room temperature, as well as the sauce and manicotti, when placed in the oven. The dish was not exposed to any heat source other than being placed in the oven.

My Pyrex 8x8 casserole exploded in my hands and all over me. It shattered into hundreds of pieces and could have severely injured me. I just took it out of the oven.

My 3-year old Pyrex baking pan exploded while I was turning steaks. I have taken excellent care of all of my bakeware and did not go against any of the misuse criteria. Fortunately, I was unhurt. The clean up was extensive and this was a very dangerous situation. I did a Google search and saw that many people have had this problem. One is too many. This product must be fixed or the manufacturer must be forced to no longer say it is oven-safe. It is not.

My cousin and I prepared cabbage rolls, mac and cheese, a favorite for her German husband who was just home from heart surgery and anxiously awaiting this dinner. An amber square Pyrex was used for the cabbage rolls and a Pyrex pie plate for the mac and cheese. Three hundred fifty for 40 minutes and at 39 minutes the oven exploded!

I was roasting a pork loin in the oven. When I opened the door the whole thing exploded all over the kitchen. This is the second time and both were Pyrex dishes. I thought I had done something wrong the first time. The second time after reading the internet, I see I did nothing wrong. I will never buy another Pyrex brand.

I was cooking boneless chicken breasts in a mushroom cream sauce in the oven.

My wife tried to remove a 9 by 13 inch dish from the oven and it exploded everywhere. Luckily, the children were not around. My wife got mild burns on her arms. And we have to clean the glasses up from everywhere.

I purchased two pie plates from Sam's on 11-10-2011. I made a potato pie with temperature at 325 degrees. The pie was suppose to cook for 40 minutes. At 30 minutes, I heard a loud explosion and the plate had shattered into bits and pieces. I have always used Pyrex dishes for baking and never had this problem. I am 61 years old and can't believe this product would ever be like this.

I attempted to bake a 13 x 9 dish with bazed ziti in the oven at a temp of 375. After about 10 minutes in the oven, the dish blew up and glass was everywhere. I cooked for my entire family, there was glass everywhere. My oven is destroyed which I spent hours cleaning. It destroyed my entire meal. Glass shattered and went in another dish that was cooking (sausage/peppers/onions). However, this was cooked in corning-ware that did not explode like the Pyrex.

I was cooking Thanksgiving dinner in my dorm kitchen and baked cornbread stuffing in a 9x13 glass Pyrex pan. The oven was at 300 degrees for about 1.5 hours. I took the pan out and set it on the stove. None of the burners were on, or had been on recently, and the top of the stove was slightly warm because the oven had been on, but still okay to the touch. I set the pan down, walked into another room, and then heard this loud pop(!) crack(!) noise. I ran back to the kitchen and the pan had exploded into hundreds of pieces! There were hot glass shards absolutely everywhere. Thankfully nobody was in the kitchen when it happened, but I suspect I would have been badly injured if I had been.

I was roasting a pork loin at 375 degrees with a brandy/apricot glaze. I opened the oven door to check on the roast and the 9x13 teal colored Pyrex baking dish exploded into hundreds of sharp pieces. I was lucky and was not hit, but what a huge mess! The dish was maybe 7-10 years old and we used it several times each week.

I was cooking a pizza on a Pyrex pizza plate and heard a loud pop. The plate had exploded, filling my oven with glass shards and pizza bits. It could have been a real tragedy if the oven door had been open.

I was heating some lasagna, in a 1qt. Pyrex bowl 7201 05, in a microwave and about 1 1/2 minutes into it the bowl, it exploded.

I have had a 9X13 inch pan explode when I took it out of the oven and also a measuring cup explode in the microwave. My daughter had a 9X13 inch pan explode in her kitchen and it melted her carpet and her linoleum. I wrote a blog post about this http://***.html and 50 people commented having similar experiences. How can you trust cooking in a product like this?

I bought a Pyrex name brand glass oven pan about 2 years ago. I have been using it regularly. Tonight, I was baking chicken at 350F and heard a crashing sound. The pan exploded. Now there is glass all over my oven. I'm glad I wasn't handling the thing when it exploded, I would be on the way to the hospital right now.

I have 2 Pyrex glass 2-cup measuring cups and 1 Anchor Hocking 4-cup measuring cup on the tile behind my cook top. Just now I was ladling jelly into jars (on the front right burner farthest away from the measuring cups) when one of the Pyrex 2 cup measuring cups just exploded. It was not near the burner nor near a pilot flame. Nothing fell on it. It was resting in the 4-cup AH measuring cup.

I was baking chicken breasts in a Pyrex baking pan (2qt cake-type pan). This particular piece was 8-10 years old and used on a regular basis. It was my favorite baking dish. I opened the oven to check the chicken and closed the door. When I went to check on it 15-20 minutes later, the pan was in pieces all over the oven. It initially broke into large pieces but as it cooled, it broke into smaller pieces. Luckily, no one was hurt. The oven was a mess though, with chicken juices and tiny pieces of glass all through the inside.

A 9x11 Pyrex baking dish shattered after being taken from the oven, imbedding pieces of glass into the carpet as far away as 8 feet. The slivers of glass melted into the nylon carpet, totally destroying it. Thankfully no one was injured. The damages are $1500.00. I wish reimbursement.

Pyrex jug was being used in microwave no longer than four minutes. Just as my husband took it out to place it on the bench top, it exploded. There was no sudden change in temperature. The jug is only around six months old. Luckily, my husband wasn't hurt. It could have hurt one of my grandchildren as the glass flew over the whole kitchen.

Pyrex changed hands years ago and stopped using borosillicate glass (the good stuff) in favor of soda lime glass (the cheap stuff). I would recommend finding another supplier and abandon Pyrex completely if heat/microwaves/cold is going to be involved.

I used a large Pyrex 15x10x2 pan. I baked 2 winter squash halves in 300 degree oven for 1 hour, then I poured 1/4 c warm water on squash while pan still on the oven rack. . The pan gave off 2 separate explosions, 20 sec. apart, sending sharp glass shards throughout kitchen, making a huge mess in oven and the kitchen.

I purchased a Pyrex glass dish and it shattered on my countertop with water in it. It was not hot and had been sitting in water soaking. My purchase price was $9.99. I would like to be refunded. I brag on these dishes so much, and I couldn't believe it happened.

Last night, I was baking salmon and when I opened the oven door to remove the 8x8 Pyrex baking dish, it exploded into hundreds of pieces. Thankfully, I had opened the oven door only five or six inches. The dinner was ruined, I had a mess to clean up, and the whole experience shocked me numb. I have used this dish three or four times previously with no problem - what happened this time? I'm buying a metal baking dish.

I was cooking chicken in a Pyrex pan. I opened the oven to check if it was done. When I pressed the knife against the chicken to check it, the pan exploded, sending glass 3 or 4 feet out into my kitchen and covering the inside of the oven with it. How I didn't get cut, I'm not sure, but this was a regular use of an extremely common product. I worry about this being on the market without warnings about this potential.
