Pyrex plate explosion
    #21012437 - 12/22/14 02:33 PM (9 years, 4 months ago)

I heated 2 large Hershey chocolate bars  on a low tempeture for 3 minutes in order to make a fondue and mix some shrooms in it.
Everything was going good until i. brought the plate outside(only a 10 degree tempeture difference) and set the plate on a metal table.
As soon as I lifted away from the plate the glass exploded into thousands of tiny shards , luckily nothing hit me in the face. I was left with a chocolate mess. I thought pyrex /borosilicate glass could withstand tempeture fluctuations, that shit was fucking scary and reminded me of a bHo explosion , I'm thankful it didnt explode in my kitchen

Oh shit. I think what it is is that pyrex is able to keep its structural integrity under bigger temperature differences than regular glass is, but if there is an extreme enough difference between different areas of the glass it can still shatter. Also the metal table would be able to conduct heat away from the parts touching it fairly quickly compared to something more insulating.

In the last few years Pyrex changed their glass formulation from borosilicate to tempered glass making the piece of shit you got. I hate to sound like an old man but Pyrex is now cheap shit. This is also apparent by the fact that new glass oven pans no longer have perfectly flat bottoms. I notice the new Pyrex also appears blue when you look at it edge on at the rim unlike the old stiff which is colorless.
