I've seen this happen with visionware and pyrex bakeware I wonder if people that have this happen are adding liquid to them after they are hot. I was surprised just yesterday when I was cooking dinner and my favourite Corningware frypan suddenly shattered while in use on the stovetop.
I have many Corningware pyroceram casserole dishes and small skillets as well as several sets of Visions saucepans including both regular saucepans and a set with pouring lips, plus a waffle base lidded frypan. Regarding the Corningware pyroceram frypan that shattered, I had noticed food tended to burn on one side of the pan more quickly than the other.
I therefore think that minute stress fractures may have been developing over time in the frypan that I had not noticed. I though my stove hot plate was heating unevenly. My stove also has solid hotplates, a coiled element may have had less impact on the frypan. The thing that upset me most was losing my favourite frypan. I will be looking around and hope to find its replacement one day.
If anything this incident has only taught me more about pyroceram, its materials and structure, and how to better care for my remaining pieces. The frypan made an exploding sound when it cracked, there were a few small shards scattered on the stovetop, but it basically cracked into three pieces. No explosive force and no injury. Indeed, I've had a stove hotplate literally explode while in use. That sent a molten shard of metal flying vertically up from the stove top and then float back down as a glowing red ember.
It also momentarily electrified the entire stove top. I simply replaced the stove, it did not stop me from cooking. One shattering frypan will not stop me from enjoying using Corningware and Visions cookware. I had read an article about the dangers of Pyrex cookware about 2 years ago and something clicked when I read one of the comments trying to discredit the article and accused the author of generating click bait.
That motivated me to share my story. I had purchased a pyrex cooking pot partially because I have used lab glass and had also seen all those advertisements on TV that showed foods being boiled on the stove top, so I decided to buy one.
It was a mistake. This model was clear glass and purchased around the year I was always careful, but one day after draining some pasta, I set the pot on a wooden cutting board.
And at that time I heard a single pinging sound. I suspected something was wrong so I decided to throw the thing away. Better safe than sorry, right? Whilst carrying it 4 feet to the trash-bin the thing fell apart in my hands.
I has left holding a ring of glass in my hand and the bottom bowl landed on my foot slicing clean through my thick wool sock and into my foot. There was so much blood that I had to put my foot in a plastic bag before putting on my shoe to go get stitched up.
Arriving home that night the apartment smelled like pennies. It was very depressing having to clean up all that dried blood. And I now have a scar that takes me back to that time, every time I put on my socks. It even damaged the tendons as I can feel the indentations below the scar. Why bother with this type of cookware when there are plenty of others that don't have such a history of exploding?
That's the internet for you. I have had several nice pieces crack and break, with tiny shards of the stuff on the floor. Suspect temperature change was too rapid, or there was a micro crack I never noticed. Indem Sie weiterhin auf der Website surfen bzw. Mehr erfahren. Sign In. Join as a Pro. Houzz TV. Houzz Research.

Very bad experience I wouldn't wish on anyone. Two of us were in the room when out of nowhere, a huge blast, with the sound of a shotgun, went off. She was standing closer, and was slammed by the steam cloud propelled outward she was okay, but deathly frightened. An OPEN inexpensive metal pan o the burner was heating some kind of rice dish leftover.
After the blast, I saw the cooktop had caved in, but only directly the burner surface where it happened. Spider cracks radiated out on the cooktop, but didn't reach the other half of the top, and broken glass was not spewed around the room at all. In fact, the other 3 burners still work..
But here's what's chilled us all. When I eventually looked up, I saw that the raised wall behind our stove, and the skylight above that, about 10 feet above the stove, were covered in steaming wet rice. To sum up, a burner under a glass cook top exploded out of nowhere, wth enough force not only to blow the saucepan off, but to propel the substantial contents of the simmering pot at least 15 feet skyward.
No one badly hurt, but just through dumb luck. I'm not cleaning it yet.. Yes, it happened to my wife and I today, November 27, The dish was being used for the second time only. My wife had made a lasagna in it. She took the lasagna out of the oven, and about 1 minute later, we heard the sound of pieces of glass landing on the floor in front of the stove. The shards of glass traveled about 8 feet from the dish.
In the attached picture you can see the dish is on a metal tray, which was put under the glass dish in case some cheeze bubbled over. It was set on top of the stove, on the two front burners which were cold to my touch.
So I'll be getting my money back for the dish, and I'll be asking for the cost of the Lasagna to, which was worth more then the dish.
