Shocked Exploding Pyrex cookware:
I have been reading about this today....

It is very alarming!

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/homeowners/pyrex.html

Anyone here have an experience?

I've used glass Corning cookware for most of my life.
I had one explode upNorth about 10 yrs ago. But no others.

Granted I don't bake in ovens much anymore, but now I wonder.
Snopes.com says only the newer Pyrex is affected, not the older versions. A Chinese company is making a different form of this glass and using the Pyrex logo and name. So do be careful if you use glass bakeware.

There are reports of this glass just exploding sitting at room temperatures as well as sitting in cupboards!
