Pyrex Reviews

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.

My wife got one of their pans for her birthday last weekend from her parents. Friday evening, right after cooking fish in it (the first time being used), it blew apart. It was sitting on top of the stove cooling to be taken to the table. We are in our 50's and have used Pyrex for many years. I have not heard of this until the last couple of years. There seems to be an issue with quality and safety.

My 13X9" Pyrex baking dish disintegrated into tiny pieces in my oven while baking chicken. I followed the directions (preheated oven, etc.) and it had been cooking for 20 minutes when it happened. There were glass shards all over my oven.

On January 12, 2008, my son Sam ** who was in the 7th grade at the time, was hand washing dishes in the kitchen sink after dinner. A Pyrex casserole dish slipped out of his hand; it hit the edge of the sink, and exploded. A large chunk of Pyrex came down and sliced open the inside of his right forearm. He was screaming in excruciating pain; blood was spurting upward, and even hitting the 10 foot ceiling. I applied pressure with kitchen towels while 911 was called.

I was removing a Pyrex 13x9 glass roasting pan with a 7 pound chicken on it from the oven when it exploded.

I was cooking dinner in a 9x13 clear Pyrex dish. I took the pan out of the oven and was carrying it to the sink when the pan exploded, sending glass everywhere including into my hand!

I've had 2 Pyrex baking dishes explode in my oven while baking eggplant in one and apple crisp in the other. The temperature was set at 350 for both items. Needless to say our dinner and dessert were both ruined. I will never purchase Pyrex again, as it is dangerous when it explodes in the oven. I can see lawsuits coming in the future if it continues. I also have photos of our oven and the mess it made.

Not once, but twice now I have had a Pyrex dish exploded in the oven. The first time, I didn't thought about it much. But when it happened for the second time, I knew there has to be something wrong with their dishes. Fortunately, no one was hurt. It could have been much worse than what it was since I was just about to pull it out of the oven.

I had a set of 2 Pyrex Glass baking dishes for about 3years. Both exploded within a month of each other. One when my husband set it in the sink and the other exploded in the oven when I went to check the fish I was cooking in it. Glass bearly missed my face and spoiled an expensive piece of fish. Of course we had to through out other items on the stove as they were in such close proximity of the flying glass.

I was cooking a 4-lb. chicken in the oven in a blue glass Pyrex dish. I started it at 425 for 15 minutes then reduced heat to 350. I went to add chicken broth to baste the chicken and the dish exploded in my oven. I have a picture.

I was cooking dinner tonight; got the Pyrex glass 9 x 13 inches out of the oven, and before I could even put it on the counter top to see if the food was done, it exploded in my hand. It sent glass in my face and eyes, and all over the kitchen.

I had one Pyrex measuring cup, and had it with me for over ten years. I melted butter in it (for 25 seconds on high fire), and I put it in the dishwasher. Twenty minutes later, it exploded. It did not "shatter" - it only exploded loudly. It scared the heck out of me, and I had a lot of cleaning up of glass to do.

I have used Pyrex measuring cups and baking wares for over 50 years. On June 13, 2011, I purchased additional pieces in a set, including a 9 x 13 baking dish. I may have used it once (for baking) before that piece exploded. I had placed metal and Pyrex bake ware in the bottom oven drawer where I've always kept older Pyrex pieces. The oven had not been on that day. I reached down to close the drawer when I heard the "explosion." I was shocked! The new Pyrex had shattered in pieces from 1/4" to 4" shards.

I cooked apple slices in cider in a 13x9 Pyrex dish for 20 minutes in my oven at 350 degrees. I removed the dish and as I walked toward my counter, it made a popping noise and "exploded" glass all around my kitchen. The force of the "explosion" sent glass pieces the size of marbles into my dining room and mud room (about 12 feet). It also left glass dust and shards all over my kitchen floor and counters.

Pyrex Dish exploded.Dish was in oven for 45 minutes at 200 degrees Centigrade. I removed the dish with dry mitt and placed on counter top. Then the dish exploded into hundreds of shards on the worktop.

I am typing this with one finger. I was washing a Pyrex baking pan that had been completely cooled, and had been soaking in warm water for cleaning just as they ask. The pan had been soaking for at least 20 minutes. The pan was in near-mint condition, with no chips or cracks. I washed the pan with no problems; but when I was putting it up to dry, it shattered in my hands and cut them both. There was glass everywhere, some large chunks and many splinters. My wife even found glass in the windowsill. There was a lot of blood; my wife and roommates were there.

My Pyrex story involves baking fish in foil packets -- the same thing as all the stories I am reading here. We heard it shatter as we were standing in the kitchen talking. I got potholders and opened the oven, unsuspecting that it would continue to pop and shatter, on my hand! Yes, I also sustained small cuts from the shattering glass -- nothing as major as some have endured. Still, I will never trust Pyrex again. It is a shame that making a shareholder profit is more sacred than safety and quality in our fascist society. I hope the injured people sue the company until they start making a safe product again.

The stuffed portobellos were in the oven at 375 for about 15 minutes when we suddenly heard an explosion. The Pyrex 8x8" pan had broken into about 20-30 pieces. The mushrooms were sitting atop a glass, "ice flows" on the middle rack.

I was cooking ribs in the oven in this Pyrex dish and opened the oven door to add sour kraut, and it exploded all over into many little pieces into my curtains’ window under the fridge, etc. Cleaning up sauerkraut from everywhere and the little glass piece was hard enough, but then I looked down and saw my leg was bleeding and I had received a gash in my leg from flying glass. I took a picture of it and have it saved so I could at least maybe get a replacement of some kind, but the bag of pieces outside my door was taken by a kind neighbor to the dumpster.

My dog's Pyrex water dish blew up for no reason. Nobody was near it and there was no fluctuation in temperature. There wasn't much water in it and it was just sitting on the floor when suddenly, it just blew up. At first, I thought it was a light bulb falling out of the socket, as it just happened immediately for no apparent reason. Mess all over kitchen floor with shards of glass everywhere . Fortunately nobody was in the immediate area when it happened.

I was cooking a chicken and rice dish for my family of 5 on 350 degrees when the whole Pyrex dish cracked into numerous pieces. It’s very upsetting since I’ve never experienced this with Pyrex before. I had to get a take out since this happened. Should I be afraid to use Pyrex dishes again? There was a big mess in the oven with food and glass. It took over an hour to clean up. No damage on my oven.

I was cooking chicken in a Pyrex pan last night when after 30 minutes in the oven, the Pyrex pan blew up in a million pieces. Our dinner was ruined. I have never seen that happen before in my life. These pans are dangerous. I googled it and found out that this happens a lot. Thank God no one was hurt, just glass all over the oven.

My husband took our 9X13 glass Pyrex bake ware out of the cabinet, placed all of the contents in the dish and put in an already pre-heated oven as the directions state. Ten minutes later, the dish exploded in the oven. Luckily, no one was hurt by this event. We turned off the oven and let everything cool. I then took a spoon and garbage bags and cleaned out our "dinner" from the bottom of the oven. The explosion was so powerful, glass and food was in the drawer under the oven.

Pyrex (and Anchor Hocking) products manufactured since the 1980s seem more inferior to those manufactured before the 80s. Pyrex bakeware was originally made from borosilicate glass and is now made from tempered soda-lime glass, a significantly less expensive glass (lime glass used for drinking glasses). The price at the store still reflects the higher priced borosilicate glass and the reputation of the brand Pyrex, established under Corning.

We were cooking dinner as usual. The steak was on the grill with the husband and potatoes, cooking in the oven in our Pyrex dish. Family members and a guest were sitting around chit-chatting. Our 4 year old son was standing nearby, within a foot or so from the stove. All of a sudden, there was an explosion in the oven. The noise was unbelievable. We all went to grab my son who was screaming and crying. We didn't know if he was injured or not. At this time, smoke began to billow out of the oven. My dad turned off the oven and our guest began to open windows as I tried to comfort my son and check for injuries.

I cooked a roast at 350 d. in my oven in a Pyrex dish. I removed the dish and took out the roast. About three hours later, I picked up the dish to put it into the dishwasher and it exploded in my hand. A very sharp shard of glass cut my finger and sent me to the emergency room! I got sutures and a splint. The shard of glass nicked a tendon and cut a nerve in my finger.

My Pyrex baking dish exploded in the oven, and glass fragments are everywhere. I had no idea this would happen. Fortunately, no injuries occurred.

I was baking a room-temp lasagna at 350 degrees and my 13 by 9 Pyrex dish shattered and broke to pieces in my oven after about 25 minutes! There were small pieces and large pieces. I had no idea that Pyrex could fall apart in this manner!

I bought two Pyrex baking dishing in November 2010 in Spokane, WA at Wal-Mart. The first time I used the 9 x 13 was in April 2011. I placed seasoned fresh chicken in the pan, covered with foil and inserted into the oven at 350 degrees. About 15 minutes later, the whole thing exploded into thousands of pieces, ranging from two inches to tiny chips of glass. My old Pyrex dishes were wedding gifts in 1971 and still are fine. Obviously, no one should buy the current Pyrex being manufactured. What a shame!

For the 2nd time, I have had a Pyrex dish explode. The first time, the company explained that pans can't go from cold to hot or they might explode. This time I was cooking at 350. I took the pan out of the oven and it exploded. The pans are 2 years old. It ruined not only the dinner in the pan that exploded, but also the other pan because glass flew into it. I will never use Pyrex again. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

I had used my Pyrex baking dishes (9x13) for years but had apparently left them at church. Since I had to take a dish to church and did not have a baking dish, I went to the store and bought a new Pyrex dish (9x13). I got up at 3:30am and put my chicken enchilada casserole together for Easter Sunday potluck as I have every Easter for the past 8 years.

I purchased a 3 piece set of glass bakeware and one of them exploded in my oven while cooking Easter dinner. I am so shocked to see how many complaints there have been online and nothing has been done. This is extremely dangerous and there are needs to be a recall on these items. What does it take to begin a recall?

Today, while baking, my Pyrex dish shattered. The sides of the dish separated from the bottom and broke into large shards. The dish was at room temperature when I put it into the oven and I was cooking at a reasonable 375 degrees. Glass shards are strewn throughout my oven and into my food.

I bought a brand new Pyrex loaf glassware, and decided to use it for the first time today. I dried it off really well and put my food in it, and it shattered five minutes into baking, sending food and glass all over my oven. It's not old and worn (brand new, never used before today), and I took all the precautions it said to take, and it shattered.

The Pyrex bowl that I have been using for the cats' water bowl for at least seven years spontaneously exploded, sending shards everywhere. The bowl was not subjected to any change in temperature--it was just sitting on the floor. Nothing had fallen on to it and was too heavy (especially when filled with water) for the cats to knock it over. I was shocked to find out after checking on the Net that this is not a new problem with Pyrex. I will be throwing out any other dishes I have made by Pyrex since I don't want to have one explode in the oven when I am cooking a lasagna or something!

Last night 4/18/2011, I used a Pyrex dish to bake chicken in the oven. When I removed the dish from the stove and placed it on the oven top, it blew up like a grenade. Glass shattered into a thousand pieces and it made a huge pop sound! One piece of glass cut my foot and burned it. Thanks God it did not blow up in my face! There was a small amount of water about a teaspoon drop size on the stove top, which may have caused the temperature change to cause the blow up. I know there are warning labels that come with the product, however, they need to be actually engraved in the dish. We have warning tags on blow dryers and on flammable pillows, etc. Why is there not a huge warning actually on the product.

I have used Pyrex since I was a kid in the 1970s; never an issue. I bought a new replacement 2-cup measuring cup, and realized last week that shards of glass had at some point broken off the upper rim, randomly. I never even heat the cups, nor microwave, just use it to measure dry and wet ingredients. I can only guess that it was caused by stacking the cup with the old ones I own; very dangerous. I have stacked the old Pyrex cups in the same way for literally 30 years. Their web site claims they are fine to stack; even has pictures of doing so as a selling point. I will never buy Pyrex brand again. Another great brand running into the ground by corporations.

My Pyrex measuring jug just exploded and shattered in my kitchen cupboard. It is room temp and has left shards of glass everywhere!

I purchased a Pyrex pie plate in December 2010 and I used it once for Christmas pie. On April 11, 2011, my 18-year old daughter cooked cornbread in a 400 oven. She took it out of the oven, set it on the warm stove, turned to look at me to ask if I thought it was done and the pie plate exploded. No burners had been on all day. If she had been looking at it, her face would have been hit with glass.

I had baked some brownies in a Pyrex dish for about 45 minutes. I then took the brownies out to cool. After sitting them on the counter for about an hour, I heard an explosion. My Pyrex dish had exploded sending pieces of glass 3 to 4 feet from where the dish was actually sitting. Thank God no one was hurt. However, 10 minutes prior to the explosion, my 10-year-old was sitting at the kitchen table and would have been hit by the flying glass.

My Pyrex casserole exploded in my refrigerator. It had been in there for over 24 hours. When I opened the door, it exploded, sending glass flying. I have read about this happening with a change of temperature from oven or freezer, but this happened to me by opening the refrigerator door!

Less than one minute before I was going to remove stuffed chicken breasts that had been baking in a Pyrex rectangular baking dish, it exploded/shattered. I was within seconds of having my hands and arms and face in the oven removing dinner. I could have easily been blinded or maimed but for some ** luck reason had added an extra minute to the timer.

My Pyrex 13 x 9 x 2 glass casserole dish exploded in the conventional oven. The dish had been used several times before. I was baking meat at 425 degrees for approximately 15 minutes when dish exploded (meat did not blow up). Because of this dish explosion, there are extremely small pieces of glass all over the oven. When the oven door was opened, glass fell into the broiler and onto the kitchen floor. It was a two-hour clean-up. Meat was discarded. Still finding glass in oven/broiler/on floor after sweeping, wiping, mopping, vacuuming, and dust-busting. I need a new casserole.

1) I was cooking bread in the oven. I set it down and let it sit on room temperature stove top to cool down. Boom! It exploded and it went around within a 20 feet radius. Most broken pieces of the cookware are safe, like glass cubes but there where many sharp shards as well.I had many cuts on my chest and hands. 2) I flipped over the steak I was broiling when the same thing happened. The cookware exploded, and hands were cut. I have several scars on my hands & chest and numbness in the pointer left finger.

I used a Pyrex 8x13 glass baking dish to bake meatballs for a wonderful meatballs in cream sauce recipe I have. The oven temp was 400. About 30 seconds after I took the dish out of the oven, it exploded into hundreds of pieces. Thank God that I had walked away from the oven to place some dishes in the sink or I might have had a face full of glass. This is the second time this has happened. The first time, the Pyrex dish exploded in the oven while I was baking fish. Needless to say, I won't be purchasing Pyrex products anymore.

Last Thanksgiving (2010), a brand new Pyrex dish exploded in my sister's hands. It was a brand new dish; she had just received it as a wedding present and had not used it yet. There was temperature and there was no food in it at the time of the explosion either. She had just taken it out of the cabinet and set it down on the counter and as it touched the counter, it shattered into a thousand pieces. Some of them very, very tiny and sharp. Almost ruined Thanksgiving completely since it exploded pretty close to the cooling turkey. No one was hurt, thank goodness, but nobody in my family will ever buy or use Pyrex dishes again.

Last evening, my granddaughter brought lasagna to our house partially cooked to finish in our oven. We preheated to 400 degrees and placed the food in. About 15 minutes later, we heard a loud noise and upon opening the oven door, discovered that the Pyrex dish had broken in multiple pieces. This dish was brand new out of the box. Since then, we have discovered two other people that have had Pyrex explode.

For the second time today, March 5th 2011, my Pyrex baking dish broke while I was cooking. The first time, I thought it's just a fluke. It was broken on top of the stove and I took it out to cool. The second was when I was taking it from the oven. The bottom of the dish separated from the sides, with a loud pop. I've kept the broken pieces. I lost two roasts along with the inconvenience of having to make a second meal twice and of course, a large baking dish, 7x11" baking pan. I'd like to see this issue addressed by their company. It scares me.

I am in Guanajuato, Mexico. I put a room temperature 9 X 13 Pyrex filled with a room temperature casserole in a gas oven at 190 Centigrade (about 350 F). After about 40 minutes in the oven, the dish exploded and the sides fell off and the bottom cracked. Fortunately no one was hurt but it was not much fun cleaning glass and a few quarts of food out of the oven. I thought you should know about this. Incidentally, I am a professional chef and I used to work with engineers and understand thermodynamics completely. I did not violate any of the quick temperature change and moisture on the surface issues that the more recent Pyrex dishes include. Thank you for your time.

On February 15, 2011, I was cooking a roast in a 9x13 Clear Glass Pyrex Dish. I took it from a hot oven, walked across the kitchen to put it down but before I could, it exploded in my hand. Shards of glass went all over the place and even cut my hand. Good thing, my grandkids were not in the kitchen at the time. I not only had to clean up the mess but had to throw out $60.00 in meat

I had baked some Italian bread in the glass dish and it had been sitting on top of the cold oven for hours, and then all of a sudden, I heard a loud explosion. When I ran into the kitchen, there was glass everywhere. I have a 7 month old and I thank God she was not in her walker following me like she normally does. This is very dangerous, and the product should be recalled. I am surprised that there have not been lawsuits filed against this company!

I have used my 9" x 9" square glass Pyrex brand baking dish for about eight years. I baked potatoes at 400 degrees and it was fine. Two to three hours after dinner, I placed the dish in the sink to soak with cool water. In the morning, I found the dish totally shattered into dozens of large and tiny shards in the sink. There was absolutely no down shock of temperature. Luckily, no physical damage; the damage was only to the dish itself.

I was cooking a pork roast in the oven in a Pyrex pan for my birthday. The roast was only in the oven for approximately 15 minutes--put the pan in at room temperature, not from the refrigerated, because I am not that stupid. I opened the oven door to look at it and when I was closing the door, it looked as though I saw the pan starting to melt. I didn't have time to finish closing the oven door when there was a loud explosion and glass came flying out all over my kitchen and oven. It also appeared to be a bright red flash which appeared to be a flame. I quickly turned the oven off for fear of a fire. I was in total shock over what happened. I am not a rich person who can just run out and by more meat--this was a special dinner. I certainly feel that Pyrex owes myself and my family some type of reimbursement for this disaster.

I reached into the cupboard to remove my clear glass 9 x 13 Pyrex pan. The pan exploded as soon as I picked it up, cutting my finger and sending glass pieces everywhere--inside the cupboard and on the floor of my kitchen. The pan had been in the cupboard for several days. It wasn't hot or cold, just clean and ready for it's next use.

My hot 8x8 Pyrex baking dish exploded when I set it down on the tile kitchen counter. It exploded in shards and with such force that there were pieces 10 to 15 feet away in a different room! I received minor cuts on my hands and arm from the flying shards, but this could have been much, much worse!

My 9" x 13" Pyrex dish exploded after being taken out of the oven. It had been cooking at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes, and I set it on the warm/hot stove top to check my meal. The glass popped and cracked, creating shards and completely splitting the rim from the bottom of the dish. I'm concerned about this, as I've been careful to not put hot dishes on cold surfaces, but this was not the case with this Pyrex dish. The advertisement is not only misleading, it's also dangerous. A replacement cost about $60. No physical damage, though.

We bought two new Pyrex mixing bowls a few weeks ago from Kohls. The wife used one for a few times with no problems. (it replaced one we had for about 40 years). The other night, we were sitting, watching TV, and suddenly, we heard a loud bang in the kitchen cabinets. We found that the bowl had exploded into about a million pieces. Luckily, the mess was largely confined to the cabinet. The company has never bothered to return my phone calls or emails so far.

While baking brownies in a 9in by 13in Pyrex baking dish it exploded, (loud noise and shattered glass). Lost all ingredients and hours cleaning the stove very stressful during the holidays.

My husband cooked a potato casserole in the oven, then set the dish on the stove top (no burners on). He made my son a plate, then went outside. Within 5 minutes, my son ran outside, saying there had been an explosion. Sure enough, the dish had exploded into hundreds of pieces, and there was glass and food everywhere. Fortunately, there was no one in the kitchen at the time, or there would have been serious injury. We were blessed with only a huge mess, and no dinner.

My wife was baking fish with vegetables in a Pyrex baking dish when we both heard a bang like a crash of glass coming from inside the oven. We opened it and saw that the glass dish had literally exploded, with about 15 large pieces and countless smaller pieces of glass of all sizes inside the oven. Luckily, it hadn't exploded after having taken the pan out; otherwise we both could have been seriously hurt. It was time-consuming and frustrating to carefully remove all the glass from inside the oven, not to mention the fish and food particles from the oven as well. It is truly infuriating to know that this product is so unsafe and still on the market. This is especially true considering that my wife had carefully followed all the safety guidelines and instructions for use.

I baked pecan pie for Thanksgiving in a 9 inch clear glass Pyrex pie plate. During the baking process in a 375 degree oven, the dish cracked completely into three pieces releasing small glass shards into the pie and oven. All was discarded.

On December 24, 2010, I took an 8 x 8 Pyrex pan off the burner wherein I had melted some butter to put in the oven and it exploded in my hands. Glass was all over the floor, stove, oven door, and counter. The kitchen floor is burnt in five places and will have to be replaced. I have to get an estimate, but the vinyl floor will need to be replaced. I am guessing a cost of about $350 for materials and installation.

I put a 12 pound ham from the refrigerator to the counter. I spiced the ham, and put it into a cold over. I turned the oven on to 300 degrees. In less than 20 minutes, I heard a huge crash. I looked into the oven, and saw that my 9x13 pan had exploded. There was glass all over! Glass was all over the oven. There was even glass on top of my my ham. When I opened the door, glass fell through the crack of the door and got stuck. The glass scratched that area.

While baking bread at 400F, we placed a small pyrex dish in the oven with water. Almost immediately after closing the oven door, the dish exploded into pieces. This is the second pyrex dish to do this. Luckily, no one got hurt but if this happened outside the oven, there would have been injury.

This morning at 5:10am I was startled awake to the sound of shattering glass. Instead of a home invasion I found out my large Pyrex baking dish had shattered into million pieces spontaneously. It was just sitting in the cupboard. A light aluminum baking tray rested on-top of it but neither was hot or cold, just room temp. It, and the tray sitting on-top of it, has not been used recently. I have not cleaned-up the glass entirely; will take photo in the morning.

Last fall, I was baking a lasagna for dinner. Halfway through the baking process, the pan broke into four pieces. No one was hurt but what a mess I had in my oven! The lasagna was made fresh and had not been frozen before baking. This was a newer pan (probably purchased within the last five years). I have had an older pan for 20 years now with no problems.

After over 15 years of suffering... I just want to thank you for exposing this problem. It changed my life forever. all you have to do is look at me. I was beautiful, young, successful Talent Manager in Los Angeles with 2 young children who only remember me mostly as having scars and yearly infections that 3 or 4 times almost cost me my life. This is actually the first year that I haven't had one.

After cooking chicken in the oven, I pulled out the Pyrex dish and placed it on the stove top (the stove top was not on) and it shattered, sending glass everywhere. My boyfriend cut his foot as he was standing next to me when the Pyrex exploded

I had an 8x12 Pyrex brand baking dish exploded in my oven. The pan was room temperature, the meat was raw and cool, the sauce room temperature. All placed in a 350 degree oven. The dish disintegrated during baking. Dinner (3 chicken breasts, water, honey and sauce mix) was ruined. The oven was a mess. Large glass shards mostly remained, though there were fine glass particles everywhere too. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but I took the trash out immediately as the shards were very pointed and sharp and I have 2 kids at home.

Yet another exploding Pyrex dish. This one did not come out of the refrigerator into the oven, but from room temperature into a 350 degree oven. It had been in there for about 15 minutes with chicken breasts in it when I heard an enormous bang. I opened the oven and saw shards of glass filling the entire space. The oven is broken and now non-functional. I am an aeronautical engineering student, and so am quite familiar with materials and their appropriate applications. There is clearly something seriously wrong with the material used to make this bake ware. And I have a destroyed and unusable $1200 oven to prove it.

I placed two pyrex dishes in a 450* oven. One was a 13X9 dish which I've had for 30 years. The other was an 8x8 which I've had one year. I was making Finnish Pancakes (an egg dish). All of a sudden there was a loud blast in the oven. I opened the door to see shards of glass from the 8x8 pan all over the oven. The 13x9 pan was fine except for glass in the dish. I've made this dish several times with my old pyrex and never had a problem. It was a huge mess!!!!!! !

I was baking a potato casserole at 350 degrees and the dish exploded in the oven. This happened approximately 10 minutes ago. I'm waiting for the oven to cool, to clean.

Thanksgiving day 13X9 Pyrex pan exploded when it was taken out of the oven and set down. Dish shattered into many small sharp pieces at 400 degrees.

I was warming up a rotisserie Chicken in my 9 x 13 Pyrex Glass Casserole Dish that I have used for 20 years. I set the oven at 350 degrees and 10 minutes. After I put it in the oven, the glass casserole exploded! The chicken landed on the wire rack of my oven. Thankfully, the oven door was tightly closed! I am now scared to use glass dishes in the oven.

I was drying a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup after washing it. I thought I noticed a stain on the lip. I rubbed it with my thumb. The cup exploded, spewing glass all over the kitchen. I stress that the cup had not been heated. I had washed it in hot water, placed it on the dish rack, and was attempting to towel dry it when the explosion occurred.

I spent all day yesterday making a very complicated recipe for shepherd’s pie in my brand new 13x9 Pyrex baking pan. I had finished layering the room temperature items in the pan and placed the pan in a preheated oven at 450 degrees. It had been in the oven for no more than 5 minutes when I heard a huge bang.

I roasted/baked chicken drumsticks in a 16x8 inch clear glass Pyrex dish. I removed the dish from the oven and placed it on the stove top. When I was removing the chicken, the dish suddenly exploded sending glass and hot liquid shooting across the kitchen. As I jumped back, I stepped on broken glass causing a few cuts on my foot. 3 of my toes were cut and I had a very deep cut on the ball of my foot under my pinky toe that goes right into the bone. I also received a cut on my calf from flying glass. I have been unable to walk on my foot for a few days due to the pain and I missed a few days off work.

While taking a glass Pyrex mixing bowl out of an overhead cabinet, I dropped it onto a countertop in front of me. As "tempered" glass, it should have shattered into very small pieces, instead a 5-inch long, 1-inch wide piece became imbedded into my forearm. I had to have surgery to remove the glass and to repair the damage to my tendon and muscle that it cut. I completely severed my FPL tendon and cut the FDS muscle (tendon to my thumb and muscle that connects the tendons to all other fingers). I also had minor nerve damage that has caused minor sensory deficits in 2 fingers. I had 3 months of hand therapy and spent 2 months on light duty at work. If I hadn't had insurance, the total cost of the accident would have been nearly $30,000, but luckily my insurance covered all but $3000.

I used a Pyrex baking dish to cook fish. As I was about to take the dish out, it exploded. I quickly closed the broiler and glass went all over the bottom and flames shot up for a moment. Some glass ended up on the kitchen floor as well. I could have easily been burned. I have a previous burn (from a Pyrex dish) on my leg. I didn't think to relate the two incidents previously. My daughter had just stepped out of the kitchen right before the dish exploded.

Baking scalloped potatoes at 400 degrees F and the glass Pyrex baking dish exploded in my oven. There are pieces of glass everywhere but worse yet I have to take the oven apart to get all of the scalloped potatoes, sauce and whatever else out from in every crevice of my oven. How disappointing is that. Wow, I never would have imagined that a Pyrex baking dish would explode in the oven.

When I got married 48 years ago, my mother gave me quite a few of her Pyrex dishes. I still have every one of them. They have served me well and I fully expect them to keep doing so. Perhaps the old Pyrex is safe because it wasn't made in China. When American manufacturers moved their factories to China, they cut their own throats as far as I'm concerned. Product quality went down the toilet. Chinese standards of safety are bad. What they use to make products with is inferior. After reading about exploding Pyrex, I wouldn't dare purchase anything Pyrex. I am a happy Pyrex owner because my dishes are prior to the new garbage from China.

I took my Pyrex dish out of the oven and set it on the stove and it exploded, sending glass everywhere and tiny pieces of glass into my hands.

1/2 of a bullet popsicle was put into a small round Pyrex bowl. After a few minutes, the popsicle was broken into small bite size pieces and eaten. The fork that was used to eat it was left in the bowl and in a short time the bowl shattered into hundreds of pieces. BS what is the cause of this action?

On Thanksgiving day, we were preparing our meal. Just as we were putting everything out on the counter for a buffet, I reached in the oven and pulled out a Pyrex dish full of homemade rolls. I set the dish on the granite counter and it exploded in my hand. Thank God I had a hot pad or it could have cut my hand. There was a huge boom noise and glass everywhere! I had to carefully go through all of the food and make sure there was no glass in the rest of it. We threw away a bunch of food because we weren't sure if it had glass or not. It ruined our Thanksgiving!

My brother-in-law was preparing a Brazilian Meat Dish for Thanksgiving at just 300 degrees when the Pyrex he was using exploded in the oven. We had only used the dish once before. There were shards of glass all over the oven and the dish was ruined.

Visiting children in Colorado (elevation about 5500 feet) for Thanksgiving. Cooked four sweet potatoes in a Pyrex dish in the oven at 400 degrees for one hour. Took the dish from the oven and placed it on a granite counter (kitchen at warm room temperature (70 deg. ), counter perhaps cooler than ambient temperature). It immediately exploded: "exploded" is not an exaggeration. There were 100's - 1000's of pieces. One minor injury, thankfully.

My Thanksgiving was ruined! I had 12 guests coming to eat at 1:30. I had cooked many things the previous day, thank goodness. I still had 4 dishes I had prepared that morning to bake. My corn pudding was in a 9x13 Pyrex baking dish, and after about 40 minutes of baking at 350, the dish exploded in the oven. Glass was in hundreds of pieces, corn pudding everywhere in the oven and standing deep in the bottom of oven. I was so upset, I cried, not knowing where to begin to get up this mess and knowing I still had baking to do! Although it was a mess, thank God it exploded then and not when I took it out of the oven. I could have been injured! I will send e-mails and post on my Facebook a warning against the use of Pyrex! Never in my 50 years of cooking has anything like this happened!

My Pyrex pie plate that I have had for quite a few years exploded on my kitchen table tonight. I was using it just to hold some meat I had just cooked. It was in the cabinet at room temp. before I used it. After less than 5 min. of the meat being placed in the plate, we heard a popping sound. The glass shattered all over my table, onto our plates and some on the floor. I had to throw out the entire dinner. We are lucky a piece of glass didn't go into one of my children's eyes since we were all sitting right there! I'm afraid and won't use Pyrex tomorrow for Thanksgiving.

After about thirty minutes of baking pasta and chicken in a 9x13 Pyrex dish, I opened the oven to find the glass dish was falling apart while in the oven. I'm lucky I caught the problem where the damage was minimal within the kitchen. Wasted food and an extreme mess in the oven and kitchen.

My husband put some cold leftover food into our Pyrex baking dish, set it in the oven, and set it to 350 degrees. Approximately five minutes later, we heard a loud crash. We opened the oven door to find our Pyrex dish had exploded into hundreds of pieces.

This morning at 5:20 am, I was startled awake to the sound of shattering glass. I found out my oval Pyrex baking dish had shattered into thousands of little pieces. I went online today to check and see if this had happened to others. I see it is not uncommon. But in my case, the Pyrex was sitting in a cupboard (did not go from one extreme temperature to another). It had only been used 3-4 times. I only purchased it a few months ago, and have never dropped it. I have never put it in the dishwasher either, as it is a fairly large dish. It was just very bizarre. I am writing to let you know, in case there are other random situations of Pyrex exploding when not in use. Thank you.

I had a small pork roast in the oven in a Pyrex baking dish. I opened the oven to add about 1 half cup broth, not frozen. Before I could completely close the door, the dish exploded sending shards of glass everywhere. Thankfully there were no injuries, but what a mess and ruined roast. I lost $15 roast, pan, and had lots of cleanup to do. I hope the oven is OK, since I haven't used it again yet. The main issue is the potential for injuries if this happens to others.

I had my 9x13 glass Pyrex sitting on top of my stove. The oven was on as I was baking. The Pyrex, not being used, but just sitting on top of the stove, exploded when I picked it up! It sounded like a bomb went off. My husband and daughter were in the other room and came running in to see what happened. Glass was everywhere--flew across my kitchen. Luckily, it didn't explode in my face!

I made a hair rinse of 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar and 2/3 cup water in a Pyrex 1 cup measuring cup. I took it into the shower. I used all the vinegar solution about 5 minutes after I entered and placed the cup on the corner of the tub. While I was still rinsing my hair clean I heard the cup shatter. It broke into 3 pieces and just fell into the tub. Luckily, it wasn't an exploding case or I could have had glass shards all over my body.

I baked a sweet potato pie in a Pyrex pie pan. It was sitting on the stove top cooling. I was in another room when I heard a very loud noise from the kitchen. It sounded like a loud crash. Found out the Pyrex pie pan had spontaneously exploded. Glass everywhere! Was thankful that no one was in the room when this happened. Glass could have really hurt any of us, especially me since I was the one cooking at the time. I was not happy about this as I spent a lot time baking this pie from scratch. Lost money on ingredients and pie plate, but the serious consequence of this occurrence was that someone could have been badly injured.

I was baking the chicken at 350 when my 13x9 Pyrex baking dish exploded after 1 hour.

11/11/10. 18:30pm. Earlier tonight I used one of our Pyrex Dishes to marinade some Steaks for Dinner. About two hours later as the dish was sitting in the sink and we were sitting at dinner, we heard a shatter and our Pyrex dish was in pieces both large and small. We had glass everywhere all over the Kitchen. Thankfully no one was hurt besides my cut thumb while cleaning the mess. This could have been a disaster for myself or my children.

Tonight, I removed a 13”x9" glass Pyrex baking pan from my oven which was set at 4500 to roast squash and set the glass pan on my stovetop where it shattered. Luckily, I was not hurt but if it had shattered several seconds earlier, I'm sure I would have had large shards of Pyrex glass embedded in my feet as well as a 13”x9" pan of hot roasted squash all over me. I am very disappointed and will not be buying Pyrex pans in the future.

I was roasting tomatoes and garlic to be used in a pasta recipe at 400 for 50 minutes. At approximately 30 minutes, the 13 x 9 Pyrex dish exploded in the oven. It ruined 5 lbs. of homegrown tomatoes and 2 lbs. of spicy sausage (in another Pyrex dish). This took over an hour to take apart the oven and clean up glass shards, etc. Both Pyrex dishes and their lids have gone in to the garbage and I will not waste my money on another Pyrex dish. What a waste of my time and money on the homegrown tomatoes that took over an hour to core and slice! Needless to say, the wasted meat.

I placed the pan in my sink (no water involved, just placed it in my dry Corian sink) and it exploded into a million pieces. Luckily, there was no injuries, just a scary situation and a big clean up - and I'm out my favorite baking dish.

I have had a Pyrex portable for about 6 years. For the first time, I decided to use the thermal pad that you heat in microwave (my MC oven is small, less than 700 degrees.) Directions say, full heat for 4 and 1/2 to 5 minutes. The pad inflated and blew up in 2 and 1/2 min. I was relieved that it didn't splat all over. Don't want another one.

Tuesday, October 26, 2010, I was using my Pyrex bake dish to hold my fried chicken after I had taken it from the fry pan. The Pyrex dish was sitting on my kitchen counter; I put paper towels in the bottom of the dish and my chicken on top. When I turned my back to place the last of the chicken in the fry pan, I heard an explosion.

I have not spoken to anyone about this. My home was 73 degrees inside and 65 degrees outside. I set Pyrex mixing bowl on the counter (not marble, just regular counter top). I poured in boiling water and Jell-O mix. It had been stirring about 30 seconds when the bowl suddenly broke into 3 large pieces and a number of small chips. There was no draft or anything cold. I had the bowl for 20 years. It was not chipped or cracked, only scuffed inside as they get from mixing. I have made Jell-O in this bowl many times without incident. If anyone has conclusive answers about why this happens with no impact or thermal shock, I'd sure like to know.

I was baking a cake in Pyrex glass dish and it exploded. There were glass shards with cake stuck to them all over my oven. During clean up, the dog ate a glass shard while I was sweeping them into a dust pan. It cost me a $300 vet bill. I have never heard of Pyrex dishes doing such a thing. I bought these last year at Wal-Mart and expected the same high quality of Pyrex that I had always had in the past. Forget it. After internet research, I am finding out that this stuff is dangerous!

I have had a Pyrex 9x13 baking dish for years. Last night, I used it to bake a fish at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes. I took it out of the oven, went to set it on the counter, and it burst in my hands. Glass went everywhere. Thank God my two-year-old daughter had just walked away, because if she were standing where she had been just a moment earlier, she would have received flying glass to her face and head.

I was using this dish to bake a small roast and after baking it and pulling it out to cool, the pan exploded like a bomb. It went off sending pieces of hot sharp glass all over my kitchen and I had pieces of glass in my hands and my legs.

12x9 dish pan exploded when removed from the oven and was set on a unheated stove top. Glass shrapnel everywhere included imbedded in carpet and on a baby highchair. Burned hardwood floor.

Was baking chicken nuggets for dinner. I took Pyrex out to the oven and before I could put the dish down on a cooling surface, the Pyrex dish exploded into 10 pieces.

Do not buy Pyrex! I recently purchased a dozen or so assorted Pyrex bowls so I could throw out the plastic. We have all heard, it is not safe to microwave in plastic. Well, it's not safe to microwave in Pyrex either. I placed cooked white rice in the new 1 quart bowl to reheat in the microwave. Before even one minute, it exploded into a hundred sharp pieces. This product is very dangerous. I will throw the rest out.

I took the dish out of the oven and set the hot top on the sink. It fell apart in 3 pieces. Pyrex A7C. Do you know where I can purchase another one?

I bought a Pyrex rectangular dish in the last 12 months here in the USA. It was used to contain ice cubes which was set on a separate level in the oven while baking bread. I just took out the water-filled dish out of the oven 20 minutes after the start of the baking. It made a loud noise, and the top end cracked and a large piece fell off.

My mom just bought a new Pyrex Casserole and baked a meat dish at 350 deg. She opened the door to see how it was doing after 1 hr. 20 minutes. She turned away for a moment and she heard crackling. The casserole started to crack apart. The whole dish broke into about 100 pieces large and small. I took pictures of the mess. No one was hurt fortunately. Was quite surprised to see other complaints about Pyrex.

I was baking bread and trying to warm water on a gas stove with my Pyrex Glass measuring cup. Luckily, I had turned around to pour flour into a bowl when I heard a loud boom and felt glass hitting my backs and saw a piece bounce of the cabinet I was facing. The glass exploded and fractured in a way like onion layers outward as well as in chunks. The glass flew everywhere and stuck to the walls, cabinets and me since it was wet.

My Pyrex exploded and my wife's feet got cut up a little by the glass. What can we do about this before someone really gets hurt?

My 9" X 13" glass baking dish exploded. This is frightening and will be considered in the future when purchasing a bakeware. There's not many details needed as you see the numerous similar complaints. I now have an oven scattered with broken glass and a wasted turkey loin. I'm left hungry now.

Yes, I was baking eggplant in the oven when I also heard a huge "boom". Glass shattered everywhere in my oven. Luckily, the door was closed and no one was hurt. This is unconscionable for a company to market themselves as 'oven safe' and have these many incidents. They should be held accountable for any injuries that people incur!

Tonight, I was cooking salmon for my family on bake at 350 degrees in my Pyrex 13x9 which I have only used once before. I heard an explosion that came from my oven so I opened it and I was shocked. My dinner was ruined because the glass pan exploded all over the inside of my oven. I feel betrayed. This is Pyrex, the brand we have come to trust all these years. Let's get it together people!

My baby was sitting in his chair in the kitchen while I was cooking sausages via the oven in my Pyrex dish. I reached in and take the pan out, sat it on the counter and the dish exploded! Hot glass went flying everywhere, burning my 11 month old in both of his arms. This is ridiculous! My house was warm so there wasn't a big temp change and my oven was set to 350. I have shards of glass in my fingers and my feet. Something needs to be done about this immediately.

I bought a Pyrex dish yesterday. Put it in the dishwasher and set it on the counter. It exploded like a bomb all over my kitchen!

Instantly, the Pyrex blew into thousands of pieces, which went everywhere. The glass pieces were very hot. My feet were cut as I was barefoot. I am certain I will continue to find shards for awhile. Luckily, I was not standing right by the sink, which I typically do when I am cutting the chicken up. I didn't realize that this same event is happening to many others.

I am writing to file a huge complaint the Pyrex Cobalt blue 2 qt oblong baking dish. I have been using this dish for a few years and today the dish exploded as I was checking on a meal I was baking. As I opened my oven to check on a fish meal, the baking dish exploded in my face! The glass shattered into a thousand pieces. Luckily for me, the pieces missed my eyes.

I exploded like a bomb. All I did was still my gratin potatoes and boom! My daughter was in her room with the radio on and heard it. It was in a million small pieces all over my kitchen. It cut and burned me, too. I'm scared to ever use this product again. I'm so glad I didn't ask my daughter to stir the potatoes. It could have been a lot worse. We had to take the door off the oven and we had to clean the whole kitchen and oven. I got burns from the hot potatoes on my feet and cuts to my knee and feet. It was a huge mess.

Took Pyrex dish out of the oven with ribs in it that had cooked at 375, set it on the counter top on a hot pad and when my friend walked away from it the dish exploded! It cut her foot and burnt the entire kitchen floor and counter top! The linoleum in the kitchen will have to be replaced as it burnt it leaving shards of glass melted into it. The counter top will need replaced. We just moved into this house and are renting so we are obligated to replace it!

I set my gas oven to 400F and placed a previously prepared frozen two chicken breasts, asparagus wrapped inside. The chicken was wrapped in a tinfoil. I placed this wrapped in tinfoil chicken dish in the lid of my pyrex dish. I was by the kitchen sink when I heard what sounded like a crash. I looked around, then opened the oven to find the Pyrex dish had shattered. I am happy to report that I had not opened the stove door when this happened.

I had one of your 9x13 glass cake pan explode in my oven. The pan shattered in a million pieces within minutes of being placed in the oven. It contained brownie mix so needless to say it was extremely messy and dangerous to clean. I have had the bakeware for a couple of years and have other bakeware made by Pyrex but am now hesitant to use them.

I was melting butter on the stovetop in a Pyrex measuring cup. I have done this many times before with my older Pyrex measuring cup. The butter was almost fully melted when I heard a loud pop and the Pyrex measuring cup exploded into small tiny pieces all over the cook top, floor and counters. Fortunately, I was not standing close to the stove. Otherwise, I could have been seriously injured by the glass as well as hot liquid. I recently purchased the measuring cup since my original one, bought in 1983, had very faded measurement markings. Too bad I gave it away.

I purchased my Pyrex dish about 10 months ago. I used it twice for Jello salads. On Thursday night, I used my Pyrex dish for the third time. It was on my counter next to the stove. The chicken I had boiled was finished. I pulled the pieces out of the pot one by one and put them in the Pyrex dish. The Pyrex dish was not on the stove top and it was not touching the pot where I had boiled the chicken. The Pyrex was on the counter and close to the pot. The Pyrex dish was at room temperature and had been on the counter while the chicken was boiling in the pot on the stove.

I was making a homemade mac and cheese dish last night in my 9X13 Pyrex dish that I have had for 15 years. After melting butter in the dish, I set it on top of my stove and as I was adding the 4th cup of milk, I heard this loud pop/exploding sound and glass flew everywhere. The pieces were so tiny, almost like it disintegrated the entire pan before my eyes. I have cuts all over my hands and feet from the glass splinters. I am still cleaning the microscopic glass shards from my kitchen. The pieces flew as far as the patio door (about 13 ft) from the stove.

I was using a brand new Pyrex glass pie dish to make dessert for my mom's birthday. After the dessert was done baking, I removed it from the oven and as I was putting it on the stove top, the glass exploded, sending glass all over my kitchen. Broken glass pieces were all over my kitchen and even in my oven since I hadn't shut the door yet. My hand was cut; thankfully none of my kids were injured. The dessert I had spent over an hour making from scratch was ruined as was other food nearby as it too had glass in it.

I took a square glass baking dish out of the cabinet and poured a coffee cake mix into the dish. I then put it into a 350 degree oven for 38 minutes. At 36 minutes, the dish exploded in the oven. I have the dish and pictures of it in the oven. I have used this dish several times to make potatoes au gratin and cakes. Other than the dish, thank God no one was hurt and I do not see any damage to my oven.

My 12 year old Pyrex glass 9x13 baking dish exploded in my oven while roasting a split turkey breast the other night. I have used this pan with no issues since I got married. As far as I know, there was no damage to the glass prior to using it that night. Only half way through cooking the meat, I heard a loud "pop"/exploding sound coming from the kitchen. The meat (completely thawed prior to cooking) had been roasting (with a foil cover) for 15 minutes at 425, then the oven was turned down to 350.

When I married in 1985, I bought several pieces of corning and Pyrex glass bakeware. Over the years, I bought additional or replaced pieces that were misplaced at potluck meals or broken when dropped. In the last 2 or 3 years, I have had a 9x13 pan explode in the oven and ruin a beef roast (nothing was done to it, it had been in the oven over an hour already, no liquid added, nothing touched, just boom!) and another round casserole I picked off the oven shelf to find that bottom had cracked around the circular edge. The body of the casserole picked up but the bottom of the dish stayed on the shelf, pouring out the contents on my oven bottom. I have had several of their newer custard cups crack also, but my older ones (size is slightly different so I can tell) have not cracked even though 25 yrs old.

Baked potatoes were cooking in my blue glass Pyrex baking dish and it exploded in the oven. This is a dish I had been using for two years.

In 1968, I was given a full set of brown and white Pyrex bowls and baking dishes of all sizes, many with lids. I have used them since then! A couple weeks ago, I took a 1 1/2 qt rectangle baking dish with lid from the oven, removed the lid and turned to place the dish onto our table and heard a loud pop! I turned around to see the lid exploded into shards of glass, big and small on the counter and onto the floor. There was no injury to anyone but I cannot find a replacement. I am very sad this occurred. Can you tell me where to get a replacement? It was a clear lid that fit up or down on or into the dish and had ribs in the glass. Please advise at your earliest convenience.

I took a Pyrex bowl with mac and cheese out of oven and while cooling, it simply exploded sending shrapnel all over the kitchen and guests. There were no injuries but just an unmitigated mess.

On September 3, 2010, a clear glass Pyrex (R) lid (labeled Pyrex on the side) for an oval 2.5 quart white Corning ware (R) dish shattered with a "bang" sound into many glass shards resulting in about 5 cuts to the skin. This was purchased new, roughly 5 years ago. My concern is how it broke into many sharp shards of various sizes and shapes, from several inches long to tiny pieces.

I made homemade meatballs for dinner this evening and used two pans, both Pyrex. The meatballs cooked in the oven for just about an hour. I went to take out the first pan, a pan I have used on a regular basis for the past 5 years since getting the pan, and before I could even set it down on the counter, it exploded in my face. I had bent down to pull out the pan from the oven and did not have a chance to avert my face or set the pan down before it shattered, spraying glass shards six feet across the room.

Baking pork chops in a 9 X 13 Pyrex casserole dish (it was one that came with my insulated carrying case and had kind of a wavy look to the sides of the casserole bought in the last 10 years or so). Had baked pork chops in the 9 x 13 Pyrex glass casserole dish for 1 hr at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Took the cooked pork chops out of the oven and sat the the glass casserole dish on my room temperature granite countertop. Not right away but within minutes heard a cracking kind of noise and then an explosion. The 9 x 13 Pyrex casserole dish exploded into many different sized pieces of glass as far as 5 feet from it's location. I received a decent cut on the front of my left ankle and had to dig a small glass shard out with a pair of Tweezerman splinter tweezers.

My small square Pyrex baking dish exploded. The unusual thing about the circumstance was that unlike the multitude of stories with the same outcome, my dish did not explode due to extreme or quick temperature change. The morning after baking in it, I had simply hand washed the piece and set it upside down (on a towel) on the counter top to dry. The water was only as hot as what would be comfortable for me to wash by hand in. I used the typical green back sponge and liquid dish soap to help remove the baked on food. Approximately 1/2 hour later, I heard a short crackle sound that caused me to turn my head and look, but I thought nothing of it. Five minutes after that the dish popped into pieces. The pieces were both large and small and all very sharp (unlike what tempered glass should be).

I was baking. I turned it off and it blew up. Glass went all over my kitchen and me.

I washed this Pyrex baking dish and let in over my laminate counter for 2 days. There were no thermal shocks of any magnitude. And still, the dish exploded when I wasn't even near the kitchen (thank God). There are very large pieces of glass and they're extremely sharp. Tempered glass shouldn't do that. I'm starting to think that all these people that had their dishes exploding and got hurt with hot food and sharp glass weren't misusing their products after all. I wasn't physically hurt, but it is clear that these products are not safe anymore. Their quality level decreased substantially. I lost one dish only, but now I'll have to buy substitutes for all my Pyrex bake ware since I can't trust this products anymore.

I recently purchased 4 Pyrex glass storage containers of various sizes to add to my existing collection, which I have had for several years, problem free. Two weeks ago, I prepared a frittata for a picnic dinner. I poured the frittata into a 6 cup rectangular container and placed the Pyrex container into the 350 degree pre-heated oven. About 10 minutes into the baking, I heard a loud bang from the kitchen. I went to check and the Pyrex dish had exploded in the oven, making quite a mess. Tonight I was reheating some shredded pork in the microwave. It was in a 2 cup round Pyrex container. I cooked it on high for 1 minute.

I was cooking dinner with my 9x13 glass dish that I have cooked with for years. When I opened the oven to take it out, it exploded all over the inside of the oven and glass is everywhere. If the company had come over, they would see the whole thing that happened and I had to throw away $20.00 worth the meat in the garbage. There was no dinner and an awful mess to clean up.

2001, I used a Pyrex loaf dish and made a meatloaf as I had done 100 times before. Took dish out of oven and set on top of stove, turned around the the dish exploded into 1000 pieces. Did not think anything but a fluke and maybe an old dish. But last Thursday, I baked a tenderloin in a Pyrex baking dish, opened the oven, turned around to grab a knife to cut into it and the dish exploded in the oven, not once but twice leaving only the tenderloin standing on the rack. Luckily no injuries either time.

I just had a Pyrex loaf pan shatter in my oven, while baking four zucchini loaves (all of which are now ruined with glass). It blew with a horrendous blast and glass shards all over the place. All 4 of these Pyrex pans went from the cupboard to the oven - not freezer or even fridge to oven. I could have been severely burned if this had happened while taking the pan out of the oven or just looking into the oven. I thought Pyrex was the safest product, all my baking, lasagna, loaf pans and mixing bowls are Pyrex.

I was cooking some steaks in the oven and they were in there for about 30 minutes. I went to stick my potholder in there and grab the Pyrex pan and it exploded. It cut my arm in three different places and my foot. My son stood up from the table and it cut his foot. The glass shot out like a bomb that went off. This is horrible. This was a 9x13 dish and the biggest piece of glass left was 1 inch. Thank God it didn't get in my eye. I have cooked with this dish a zillion times.

The Pyrex glass pan exploded inside oven and made a huge mess inside the oven and ruined dinner.

I had used my 9x13 Pyrex dish many times before this incident. Tonight I placed a pork loin into my Pyrex dish and put it in a 425 degree oven. Eight minutes into cooking I hear an explosion. I open my oven to find tiny pieces of glass everywhere and my pork loin lying on the oven rack. So glad nobody was around and the oven door was closed tightly when it happened. Beware!

I would like to withdraw my complaint. I was able to speak with a representative at Pyrex who explained that Pyrex bakeware cannot be preheated empty because of the heat distribution. Pyrex is sending me a replacement bowl free of charge and I am very satisfied with this outcome.

Yesterday, I went to bake bread as usual. I prepared the dough, and after it had risen, I preheated my 4qt Pyrex bowl in a 450F oven. It had been sitting at room temperature prior to being preheated. Once the dough had risen a second time, I placed it in the bowl. A second later, the bowl exploded. That sounds dramatic, but I can't think of a better word to describe it. Hundreds of glass shards littered the inside of the oven and the entire kitchen, and I still don't know how I didn't get hurt.

I baked brownies in my 8 inch square pan Thursday night without an incident. Then Friday, my boyfriend was boiling water in a pot, with the brownies on an adjacent burner, and the pan exploded into large and tiny glass shards! How is a pan that should be fine in the oven going to explode when near heat? It wasn't even directly exposed! He, thank God, was fine.

I had a 9" by 13" baking dish. We have used Pyrex in my family for generations. My mom always told me never take it from the freezer to the stove. I was making a roast. I took the Pyrex baking dish straight from the cupboard and covered with tinfoil and placed the roast in the center. I let it cook for a half hour and went to check on it. It wasn't finished so I closed the door. My son who was hungry went to peek in the oven and a loud bang came from the kitchen. Never in my life have I been more scared when I found him standing in the kitchen with the oven door open and glass every where. The roast sat in the stove with its tinfoil still around it. Glass was every where inside the stove as well as all over my floor.

I bought a brand new glass pie dish, made by Pyrex. I made a pie in it, and put it into a 375 degree oven. 30 seconds after closing the door, I heard a loud pop. The pie dish had exploded all over the oven, large pointed shards. I'm lucky the door was closed! It's ridiculous to make a pie plate, which is supposed to go from counter top to oven, that explodes when exposed to heat. Pies bake, for crying out loud! It has a warranty, but I don't want a replacement. Way too dangerous.

I brought some veggies in the clear 2-cup storage dish with a blue plastic lid. I put it in the microwave for 1.5 minutes and took it out. The food was warm, but the dish was blazing hot. I put the dish on my desk to cool off a bit. Then in approximately 1-2 minutes, it exploded, sending sharp shattered glass all over my desk, my lap, and the floor.

Our families have been pleased with your products for generations! Not so today! After washing in the dishwasher twice, the printing of measurement is disappearing. What use is it now? We are senior citizens, does that explain our financial status? Our daughters have complained to me after replacing plastic measuring cup, we all dislike using plastic! How can we all count the economic consequences?

I preheated my oven to 450 degrees. Put small frozen fish fillet in a 9" square Pyrex dish to cook for 20 mins. Checked it at 20 mins. I never removed it from the oven rack. It wasn't cooked so I separated the 2 pieces, still not removing it from the oven rack. Within 30 seconds, the glass dish exploded! Luckily, most of the glass ended up in the oven. This was 15 minutes ago so I don't know if there is any damage to the oven yet. I'm OK. Wow! Scary! I will not use Pyrex ever again!

I recently purchased a set of three glass baking dishes from Wal-mart. I have used the smaller ones without incident (so far). Today I put the largest one in the oven to bake some chicken breasts. The breasts were not unusually cold, the pan was room temperature, and the oven was set at an accurate 350 degrees. After about 30 minutes, I heard a pop from the oven, and open the door to find the pan had shattered into hundreds of pieces. I Googled this and found an article on snopes.com basically blaming the consumer for these incidents. I have been cooking for 40 years and have never had this happen before. I was really scared by the incident and will not use any of these pans anymore, and I am offended that I am being blamed for something that is clearly not my fault.

My wife was pouring hot juice. I'm not the cook here so don't ask me what kind. She was pouring it over some marinated tofu that she had been broiling in the oven in a Pyrex dish. It exploded with a loud pop into a thousand pieces. The glass landed pretty far, about 3 1/2 feet. The floor linoleum was burned by a piece of superheated glass about 5 inches by one inch. My wife got a burn on her hand though she was wearing a mitt. We think she is lucky the glass exploded laterally and downward. No more Pyrex in the oven for us!

I made expensive bread. I suddenly heard an explosion in oven. My Pyrex bread baking dish had exploded with Shards of glass all over oven, door and floor when we tried to clean up. $15 worth of food lost. Hand cut through Playtex glove when cleaning up, dents in floor. Total mess and loss.

My fiancée had olive oil and butter in a glass Pyrex pan on low heat on the stove preparing it to bake Talapia fish fillets in. The entire pan suddenly exploded into pieces, ranging from approximately an inch in diameter to the size of a grain of sand.

I reached down to pull a green 9"x 3" piece of Pyrex out of the cabinet (at room temperature) so I could marinate some meat in it and later remove the meat and cook on grill. The minute I grabbed the end of the dish and began to pull it out of the cabinet, the dish shattered into a hundred pieces with a tremendous force. Some of the pieces were large, but some of the pieces were almost sand like. The glass was literally shot 3 feet away from where it shattered. I have owned and used Pyrex for 42 years and have never had any bad experiences with this product until now. I feel like I have been betrayed by an old friend! I had small cuts on my hand and some on my feet, where I stepped on tiny shards.

My mother and grandmother have sworn by Pyrex for as long as I can remember. As a former culinary student, I know the Do's and Don'ts of cooking and baking. I love my Pyrex Bakeware and have never had any problems with them up until last Thursday (July 15th, 2010). I was preparing a special dinner for mine and my fiance's anniversary. My chickens were trussed, seasoned and in my 9 X 13 Pyrex pan, waiting for the oven to preheat. About half way thru the cooking time, my fiance left to pick up a few last minute's at the store.
