well nothing happend to me but ive been rooting around the web researching borosilicate glass. Pyrex is the brand name for borosilicate. but as it turns out since 1998 Pyrex kitchen brand is no longer made of borosilicate but of soda-lime glass.
there for you get these Exploding dish ware. because borosilicate glass is chemically constructed to have a lower coeficient expansion rate of soda-lime glass making it a better candidate for cook ware. borosilicate due to its chemical structure(the way the crystals and every thing alighns when it cools)does not shatter mearly snaps into big chunks not little slivers.
Little slivers are a sign of Soda-lime glass and i am appalled that Pyrex is claiming that there are no defects in their products. The defect is that the product they are selling as Pyrex(borosilicate glass) is actually Soda-lime glass.
When ever soda-lime glass or ordinary glasses are heated too quickly or unevenly then they are apt to shatter or explode into millions of little slivers(or cooled too quickly for that matter. i dont think Pyrex cooking ware that is made of soda-lime should not beable to be sold under the brand name of pyrex because it does not hold all of the same qualities that borosilicate(pyrex)contains.
