Some newer Pyrex bakers have broken or shattered in the oven while cooking food that had NOT been taken out of the frig or freezer.

Yeah, some years back, unfortunately, Pyrex changed from the better Borosilicate glass to some sort of 'soda lime' glass (I believe that's what it's called). That is not as integrous as the Borosilicate glass. I guess Pyrex in other countries still use the Borosilicate. I don't know why they changed it here. It's a terrible shame.

Still it w/b ok if one is careful but I'm not buying any more of it. All my Corning Ware is also the older stuff (Pyroceram). The new stuff is Chinese-made stoneware and nowhere near as nice. Another shame. Glad I have plenty of the old stuff.

Really? And how many threads have you posted about New Pioneer Woman? I think you've posted to seven different TT threads here. Trying to get the word out?

I don't want to put my bakeware cassorole in a cold oven. The bakeware I have, different brands, I have had no problems. I have never had a piece crack. This is the reason I don't buy TT even though I have been tempted.

With our modern chemistry, etc., now-a-days, one would think that someone is overseeing the mixing of glass, etc. when making glass baking items. The ingredients/melting/whatever must be exact, properly tempered, etc., I would imagine. Also, placing hot baking dishes directly from an oven onto a cold surface can cause shattering. Happened to me many years ago. Always place a couple of hand mitts or hand towels, etc. on the cold surface/counter first, before setting down the hot bakeware.

We had the same issue with the cookie sheets....returned 1 of 4 originals...and got a replacement....out of 5 total, we have 2 left...they never went from refrigerator to oven and were always hand washed...won't ever buy Temp-Tations again...

Some of the new Pyrex has been breaking in ovens.

No temp changes.

About 5 years ago I was taking a Pyrex dish that I had made meatloaf in out of the oven and it exploded ALL over my kitchen. Scared me to death! I have made meatloaf shaped into an oval and baked in a 13 x 9 pan for years and years. I didn't use Pyrex again until about a year ago. So far so good. Talk about a mess!! When I say exploded, I mean exploded. It was splattered even to the tops of my kitchen cabinets.
