Thanks for the heads up. Will be more careful in the future.

Just checked the Pyrex website and found this information on Safety with glass bakeware:

I heard Pyrex was sold to a Chinese company. I don't know how true this is, and I don't remember exactly how long ago, maybe a couple of years or so. Any new Pyrex products are made in China and different materials and processes are used. They are known to explode very easily. I have 3 Pyrex baking pans that are at least 20 years old. The old ones made in the USA are good to go. I only use them for baking at lower temps (350 F or lower). I would never consider roasting in a glass baking dish. Get yourself a nice SS roasting pan. Glad to hear no one was injured!

I also found this letter on the Pyrex site that responds to comments about the manufacture of Pyrex Glass Bakeware:

.....for what it's worth.

Yup, did that when I was a kid. I put a pyrex bowl on the flames of the stovetop to melt butter or something (pre-microwave days). Thing grenaded in a couple minutes. That won't happen twice!

Pyrex isn't meant for that kind of use. Glad you and your own are safe.

Never put pyrex on a stove-top, no matter what the temp or application is.
