Do NOT place a very hot ceramic Dutch oven on a glass cutting board
The board will explode like a bomb and spray broken glass with such force that a piece will fly up the oven mitts you're wearing.

Don't ask how I know this....

Maybe a coincidence, but just maybe a suggestion for DUmmy hippywife's latest demise.

[Chris]

I suppose it would be too much to ask that an errant piece of glass happened to 'sterilize' this DUmmy before it reproduces.  Given the average age for DUmmies, most of them are well past child-bearing anyway.

Glass cutting board?

1gobluedem is a dumass. He has to be a Wolverine fan.

 Didn't Hippywife or some such idiot blow up a pizza stone in a similar manner?

I made the mistake of boiling water in a Pyrex bowl. That sucker exploded and slung glass 20 feet away. Good thing I was not in the kitchen at the time.

Why would you not be able to boil water in a Pyrex bowl? That's what Pyrex is for. We boil and cook with Pyrex glassware every day and have never had a problem with it. I'm pretty sure it would explode in coach's kitchen, but he has more explosion problems than most folks.

I still remember when the PAM can exploded on the stove when I was young, scared the crap out of everyone. Left a hole in the ceiling too, that thing took off like a rocket and ended up in the attic.

Maybe we could rebuild the space program Obama is gutting with PAM cooking spray!!

But sir, you misunderstand.

I don't have explosion problems.....precisely because I go out of my way to avoid such situations.

I too use Pyrex glassware for cooking, and haven't ever had a problem, but I can see the situation as our esteemed colleague Lacarnut described it.

Corningware is an excellent product, incuding their line of Pyrex, but sometimes defective goods fall through the cracks and end up in consumers' kitchens.

When I was in college, and worked for a wholesale hardware distributor, we used to deal with Corningware and Pyrex in railway freight-car loads, hundreds of thosands of glass pots and pans.  There was an occasional complaint about a defective item--but on the whole, it seemed the products were 99.9999% good.

Thats very good quality control.

Was that the inspiration for the untimely demise of Hippywife, Beth and ?......... How did the person in the 3rd story expire?

On the bottom of the other bowl, it states to use in the oven and microwave but not on a stovetop or broiler. You might want to check that out. I have never used the 2 remaining bowls after that accident.

Standard Pyrex is for the oven.  Use it on a burner and it will explode.  They made Blue-Flame Pyrex that could take the open flame of a gas burner or with a piece of wire an electrical coil. It has a light blue tint when you look at it

You aren't supposed to use it over a flame, if you have one of those deadly gas stoves, but I use it all the time on a glasstop electric range. On the other hand, in high school and college chemistry labs, we always used Pyrex glassware over Bunsen burners, and I never heard of a failure, but I suppose it's possible. All those bubbling distilling flasks and retorts in Dr. Frankenstein's lab were Pyrex glassware over gas flames, but maybe it's a different type of Pyrex..

Don't worry idiot, after waiting in line for the next six months, you can get an 0bamaCare band-aid for your third degree burns and a garden spade to dig the glass shards out of your beady little eyes.

1950's hippywife garage sale/junk-yard-picked retro special kitchen utensil. They were quickly outlawed minutes after their release from production but some burnt out, stoned out of their gourdes hippies didn't get the memos and sold them at the local garage sale after their Jim Jones/Marxist hippie commune disbanded.

Maybe he has been mixing Pyrex boiling H2O with that Will Pitt manure heap vacation property in his back 40.

...There was an occasional complaint about a defective item--but on the whole, it seemed the products were 99.9999% good.

My mom received a set of Corningware dishes as a wedding present.  She was quite proud of the fact - at the time - that she kept the certificate in the box that promised that they were the next best thing to unbreakable and that if she ever were to break one, just send it to Corningware  for a replacement.  And so, when her - then - three year old son discovered the joys of smashing the dishes into fine splinters of glass with a claw hammer,  she dutifully swept up the splinters, packaged them up and shipped them off to the Company for replacement.  The same for the second "incident".  With the third one, however, in addition to the replacement dish, she received a note stating that "in the future, there is no need for you to send us the shards of glass; we'll believe you when you tell us that the dish is broken."

How I ever survived to adulthood is entirely beyond my understanding, in hindsight.

We have some of the old Corningware, the white ceramic stuff, not Pyrex glass, and have for decades used it for stovetop cooking as well as in the oven with never a problem. Now, when we get new Corningware, it says it's okay for oven use, but not for stovetop, even though it seems to be identical. The change in instructions is apparently due to a difference in the material, but the threat of litigation if that 0.0001% should break while hot would probably have brought the same result.
