Pyrex Reviews

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.

I had finished cooking a chicken in the oven using my glass Pyrex oven dish. I set it on top of the stove to cool and it just exploded. Luckily, none of my grandchildren were in the kitchen at the time. Had anyone been hurt, I would not have hesitated taking this company for a very long and expensive legal ride! They need to recall all of their oven glassware before someone loses an eye, or worse!

My girlfriend was roasting a chicken in the oven. She opened the oven door to check on the chicken and the Pyrex cookware exploded with glass going everywhere. Our 2 year old son was nearby. Fortunately mother and son were unhurt, yet it took a couple of hours to thoroughly clean the oven and surrounding area for broken glass.

My husband purchased a new Pyrex 13x9 pan for me from our local Kroger about two weeks ago. I used the pan about three times so far.

Over the years, I have bought Pyrex glass dishes for personal use as well as gifts for family and friends. That being said, I will never buy another piece of Pyrex.

Today 10/7/11, I was baking some chicken patties in the oven. When my husband took the dish out and sat it on the stove. It exploded into many pieces. Glasses went flying all over the kitchen. I'm just glad no one got hurt and our children weren't in the kitchen at the time.

Tonight, I was reheating baby back spare ribs in the oven at 325 for 40 minutes. I took the pan out of the oven and set it on the kitchen counter and as soon as I set it down it exploded. The glasses went flying 10 feet in every direction. My pan was destroyed but worse yet the rack of ribs had to be thrown out and the salad sitting on the kitchen counter also had to be thrown out as glass shards were everywhere.

I was baking brownies at 300 degrees when my 9X13 Pyrex pan exploded in the oven.

I received a set of Pyrex bowls as I like them so much better then plastic containers. I was disappointed to see that the lids for the very small bowls did not fit. At first, I thought maybe it was just hard to put on. I had my daughter also try to no avail. The lids for the larger bowls went on with no problem. I am unable to store anything in the 6 small bowls that I have due to this problem, but I will still continue to purchase more Pyrex as I love them.

My 9x13 glass dish exploded in the oven with 6 chicken breasts on it. It blew the chicken all over the oven and the glass was in so many pieces. It scared me with the noise it made and I was thankful I wasn't opening the oven door at the time. Very dangerous. I'm not sure if I want to use Pyrex anymore. I've used Pyrex for 30 years and never have seen anything like it.

I purchased a three-piece set of Pyrex baking dishes with plastic covers for each piece perhaps one and a half years ago at a Target store. I do believe it was the only set there, as all shelves were low in stock at the time. There was another company name on similar dishes. But I will only buy Pyrex after having used it for so many years with great satisfaction. The problem is in the care and thorough attention in the kitchen or a terrifying accident will occur.

I wasn't going to file a complaint but since I saw that practically the exact thing happened to someone else only two weeks ago, here goes.

We had out of town guests so had prepared spareribs on the grill. My son put the spareribs in a Pyrex baking dish and brought them inside. I started cutting them in pieces when the dish shattered all over the counter, in the sink and on the floor. Some of the small shattered pieces cut my toe, not to the point of any emergency treatment, but I was very disappointed because this was a new baking dish and I never could have imagined that a Pyrex dish would break or explode.

I baked a Runza Casserole in a 9 x 13 Pyrex dish at 350 for 40 minutes. After approximately 20 minutes, I discovered smoke billowing from the oven and upon opening the oven door, had flames in bottom of oven.

I had some chicken drumsticks baking in a 9"x13" glass Pyrex baking pan (approximately five years old). The pan came out of my cupboard so the room temperature and the drumsticks were not frozen. They had been baking for approximately 40 minutes when there was a loud bang. I was standing right beside the oven, so I also felt the explosion. I opened the oven to find that the pan had blown into hundreds of tiny pieces.

I cooked rice in a "Pyrex" glass pan. The heat was turned off and suddenly, the pan cracked and shattered. Glass was all over the dinner and et cetera. It was pretty scary. I brought the pan back to the T.J. Maxx store that I bought it from, and I shared the incident with the manager, so he could notify the manufacturer.

Last night, I was cooking a Cornish hen at 350 degrees in the oven in Pyrex 9x13 baking dish and was just adding the basting liquid when the Pyrex baking dish exploded. Luckily, I didn't get hurt but had a huge mess to clean! It was very scary and I am definitely refraining from purchasing any more Pyrex glassware.

I was cooking breakfast for my family in a brand new Pyrex cook ware. This was the second time I used the 9x13 pan. I pulled the pan out of the oven after I was done baking. I set it on top of the stove to cool before I cut the pieces. I then walked to the sink and the whole thing exploded everywhere. Our breakfast was lost and we spent the next half hour cleaning up all of the glass which had also melted to the flooring. I am now afraid to use the second pan that came in the set. Thank God I wasn't hanging onto this pan when it exploded.

My rating is 0 stars for your Pyrex baking ware products. This is the second time it has happened in the last three years. I will never purchase another product from Pyrex. It exploded into a million pieces just sitting on my stove top waiting to go into the oven with some melted butter in the bottom. Nothing out of the ordinary. How can Pyrex still be in business? Luckily, in both times, there were no injuries. But it sounds like a gunshot going off and I have been picking glass out of every conceivable crevices in the kitchen and adjoining dining room. What do you have to say?

I had baked a pie with a glass Pyrex dish and took out of oven. The glass exploded and the glasses' shrapnels went everywhere. Sounded like a sonic boom and very frightening. This was not a new Pyrex glassware. Public needs to be made aware of this.

My mom just recently bought Pyrex glass cookware. On the 22nd of September of 2011, she was using one of the 1/4 inch thick baking dishes to make cheddar and Bacon scalloped potatoes. She heard a crash, like glass was dropped, and she opened our oven (which is gas by the way) and the scalloped potatoes were all over. We will never use this product again! We could have lost our house because of the open flame in our oven. They are lucky because we would have sued.

I was cooking a pork roast last night in the oven at 375 degrees and had water in the bottom of the dish. I went to baste it with the water at the bottom of the pan and the whole dish exploded causing an awful mess. I am lucky I didn't get all cut-up. This was a 9 x 12 baking dish. I would like a refund of the amount of what these cost, plus the cost of the dinner that was ruined which was approximately $15.00, and for the 2 hour labor it took my husband to clean it all up. I will never use one of these dishes again.

I had a square, 8"x8" baking dish. I was cooking in my oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and I heard a loud pop about 10 minutes after putting the pan in the oven. I opened the oven as my smoke detector started going off, and my dish has shattered all over the oven. I can't finish cooking my meal because the glass was everywhere. I thought Pyrex was supposed to be unbreakable. I guess I am replacing the two other Pyrex dishes I have with metal, as much as I dislike baking in metal pans, they are a lot safer.

I have had the same Pyrex cookware pan for 15 years or more. Last week I prepared scalloped potatoes in the 9x11-deep dish pan as normal, and put it in a preheated oven to allow it to cook. I would like to note that the pan was at room temperature so it was not a case of an extreme change.

I put my 13x18 Pyrex dish in the preheated oven at 350 degrees, containing a basic chicken casserole. It had been in the oven for about 20 minutes and we heard a horrible noise. The whole dish just exploded covering the (new) oven in shattered glasses (I have pictures). It was horrible! Black smoke poured out of the oven. I am letting it sit overnight and we'll clean up this awful mess tomorrow. I had never heard of anything like this happening before, until I read through the other comments. This was terrible! Our family dinner was ruined (hopefully, my new oven is not damaged). I have had this dish for about 8 years and have used it many times for casseroles, lasagna, roast chicken, cakes, etc. I don't think I will be purchasing any Pyrex item anymore!

I was heating Green Giant vegetables in a brown 2 or 3 qt glass casserole dish with matching brown glass lid. Both items were Pyrex brand. I was using the microwave. I was following the directions on the frozen vegetable package heat level and time as directed. About three quarters of the time given, the entire bowl exploded into about 6 pcs. It broke into strangely shaped pieces. There was a loud noise and I could not believe my eyes. After it cooled, I removed the shards. I have saved them if anyone is interested in examining it all. No one got hurt and the microwave is not damaged. I would like it very much to have it replaced and would be glad to mail the product for you to examine. Please send a mailing box and prepaid label if you do want to see what happened. I do not think I should spend a cent sending it back. I am very glad no one got hurt by this. But I will forever be wary of Pyrex.

I was broiling a piece of salmon in my oven using a Pyrex casserole dish - not sure what size it is. I opened the oven door, pulled out the rack, flipped the salmon over then shut the door. About 3 minutes later, I heard a loud bang - when I opened the door I discovered the dish had shattered all over the oven - pretty big pieces actually. I have had this casserole dish for about 5 years and have used it this way many times before. Needless to say, I deemed the salmon inedible.

I did not report to Pyrex but after hearing about other breakage, I thought I should add my experience. I have an old Pyrex that I've had for years. So 2 months ago, I bought a glass casserole with blue plastic lid and used properly. After I used it and it was cool, I set it in the sink on a rack and when I got up in the morning, it had shattered. During the night, I heard a noise I could not identify until finding broken glass pan in the kitchen sink.

A Pyrex bowl exploded on the stovetop. The burner might have exploded too, in a minute. The Pyrex bowl had been used days earlier on the stovetop without incident. I had put the bowl in the refrigerator for a couple of days. I did not know or even imagine that this bowl would explode when it contacted heat again. Glass pieces shot all around. I did not get hurt, but could have been injured very easily. I was lucky.

I had chicken in the oven cooking in my Pyrex dish (9x13). Dinner was almost finished when, all of a sudden, a loud explosion was heard through the house. My Pyrex dish exploded into thousands of pieces. What a mess I had, not to mention no dinner!

On 06 September 2011, I was baking some ribs in a 9x13 glass Pyrex dish at 300 degrees. I went in to check on them and the pan exploded! Oh my God! My face could have been cut. But by the grace of God, I wasn't injured. However, it took me over an hour to clean up the mess in the oven and the floor of my kitchen. I thought these dishes were even safe. I guess not! There was no injury as a result of this. Thank God. However, I will never use another dish by your company. This could have been very bad. I am thanking God for protecting me.

After removing my pork tenderloins out of a 350 degree oven in the 13 x 9 inch Pyrex dish, I began adding a small amount of warm water to the bottom when the dish exploded! I am certainly glad I was wearing my glasses!

I've been using Pyrex baking dishes for more years than I want to remember. I purchased an 8x12 baking dish in 2006 to replace the one that was lost in the custody divide. One of my regular uses is to warm the baking dish to 225 degrees, fill it with boiling water, place it low in the oven, and then bake French bread at 425 degrees. I did this for years with the old one.

Twice, in just the last week, I have had Pyrex glass pot tops literally explode in my hand. The first time, I was cooking on the stove, lifted the lid to stir, and boof, the whole top exploded into a bazillion pieces flying all around the kitchen and embedding in my left arm and even up into my neck and chin. That's never happened to me before, but my thought was that maybe the top got too hot and when I picked it up off the pan, it cooled quickly and burst. But then, just now, it happened again! Only this time, I wasn't even cooking yet. I just reached down into my cupboard to pull out a pan and lid, and when I picked up the glass top, it spontaneously burst in my hand again, spraying hundreds of tiny shards of glass all over the kitchen. Absolutely unreal!

I cannot find a source to purchase just the plastic lids to the glass storage containers. The containers are rendered semi useless without the lids. The lids wear out much sooner than the Pyrex glass container. Please help.

I was using a lasagna size Pyrex to bake chicken legs in the oven, when it exploded and shattered in the oven. The smoke that came from the oven was so scary, not knowing what happened, I thought the whole oven was about to explode. Not only did I lost the meal, it also ended up with a huge burnt mess, which was because the oven was hot, I had to wait for it to cool before I cleaned.

We took the 9x13 glass Pyrex out of the oven and it just exploded as we put the spatula in to scoop out the food. All of a sudden it exploded, not shattered. My fiancé got cut on his chest area, hands and feet.

I took my lunch in a glass Pyrex container to work. It exploded in a million pieces. It was just sitting on the counter. I'm just thankful I wasn't eating out of it at the time!

Pyrex baking dish exploded as I was taking it out of the cupboard. No temperature change was involved except possibly the difference between my skin temperature and the temperature of the glass. At the time of the explosion the dish was in mid-air being held by my hands. The dish was in normal use for several years before this happened.

I was finished making soup. I dried the pot down after hand washing. And then, I dried the Pyrex lid. I put it on bowl and it shattered into shrapnel. It was so dangerous. I simply couldn't believe it. It was not as ordinary glass breaks. It simply exploded. The pieces were so tiny, that you did not know they were in your skin until you put some sort of pressure on the spot, then it cut you.
