I saw that and meant to post the link, but then couldn't remember what thread it was! Thanks, Rachel!

Can't smell it over my hardboiled eggs fiasco I burnt last week.

I exploded mine by making gravy but I did have the temp on high. I now cook the gravy on the stovetop on low and haven't had a problem.

I tried stainless steel after the gravy incident and wasn't happy, I could only get a teflon covered one which didn't thrill me also I couldn't use steel wool on it to clean, I ended up throwing it out and going back to pyrex.
ETA: maybe it wasn't stainless steel as it wasn't expensive, it was some metal thing from Big W.

Yes. Eighteen years of marriage and I still have to learn and relearn this.

My Pyrex exploded just yesterday. I was baking a chicken in it, pulled it out of the oven just to baste it a bit, and BOOM! glass shards, chicken juice EVERYWHERE. I am so thankful no one got hurt. I am so getting rid of all my Pyrex. I read this thread back when it was first posted, but didn't do anything abou it (obviously). Now I'm getting rid of all my Pyrex. Ay carumba.

Yikes! I know what DH and I will be discussing when he gets home! (Poor, unsuspecting DH...) 
Thanks for reviving this thread. We use a whole lot of pyrex, so I guess it's time to start switching over to stoneware...or something.

Snopes finally updated their Pyrex page. There's more info there on why/how this happens.

Thanks for this update and link, Stef. In the past couple of years, I have had two or three pyrex baking pans shatter (always ruining some great meal!  ), but I never thought about reporting it to the product safety commission. I wonder what they would do if they received a complaint about every shattered pyrex baking dish?
God Bless,
Stacy in MI
