believe it or not, ...too much stress in the glass.<br /><br />believe it or not, corning (the maker of pyrex) has purchased several glass testing instruments from the company that pays my salary. obviously, this batch of glass was not tested with our instruments that would detect poor glass quality.<br /><br />take back the fragments to the store from whence it came. I would also write to corning and enclose a pix of the shattered pyrex.anne marie in phillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822653.post-43924060738198087802011-01-19T14:36:33.152-05:002011-01-19T14:36:33.152-05:00May not be a manufacturing defect; it may have be...May not be a manufacturing defect; it may have been thermal shock (although my liquid measuring cup hasn't exploded when I pour boiling water into it -- yet). Cooks' Illustrated has written of the 'exploding Pyrex' Mar/Apr '03 pp 2-3;and 'shattering Pyrex' May/June '04 pp 2-3, Sep/Oct 04 p3, Mar/Apr '06 p 17. Go to the library and check it out. There are some technical considerations and one is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER put hot Pyrex on a wet or even damp surface (not saying that this happened in your case, but whoda thunk?). It is not likely that the retail staff is going to think and ask you this. It is probably easier for the retailer and the manufacturer to write off the loss and replace the item. <br /><br />Sorry if its TMI, but, as you can tell, I'm a bit of a kitchen geek.Will Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06489879295104017008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822653.post-46672255344221373042011-01-19T11:43:02.778-05:002011-01-19T11:43:02.778-05:00I was washing a thick drinking glass by hand and m...I was washing a thick drinking glass by hand and must have bumped it on the faucet or something. I put it on the rack to dry and went to watch TV. 20 minutes later, I heard a loud crash and my immediate thought was that a kid hit a ball through my kitchen window right above my sink, but I got there to find that it was really that the glass has exploded.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380385933014885288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822653.post-65616775201483766652011-01-19T11:41:39.111-05:002011-01-19T11:41:39.111-05:00Poor Spouse...to wax eloquent then have that happe...Poor Spouse...to wax eloquent then have that happen. <br />I wonder if the pyrex dish was made in the U.S. or overseas. Once was a time that Wally World shouted that they only carried Made in the U.S.A. products.
