Hi,
I had a glass 13-by-9 explode on me once. It was several years ago and I was
trying to heat butter in the pan on the stove. I don’t remember why now. I
thought if I had the pan on low/medium and moved it around a bunch, so the
heat didn’t stay concentrated in one place on the pan, it wouldn't kill it.
Obviously, I was wrong!! The thing exploded under my hand and I can quite
vividly remember the sensation and sound it made. I screamed, as glass
shards went everywhere!! My most recent ex was living with me at the time
and he came running to see if I was alright. I got as much of it up as I
could. I called a sighted friend who was in the area at the time, and she
came over and helped me clean up the rest. Needless to say, we were cleaning
up tiny glass slivers for hours!! I learned my lesson with that one, lol.
Other than that, I've never heard of older glass pans or things breaking,
but I suppose it could happen. I guess the glass would get brittle over time
or at least, that would be the concern.
Take Care,
Dawnielle

I have wondered about that myself. I have a small casserole from when we
got married so that was 39 years ago. It is made by Corning. I notice it
does not seem to be microwave safe. It gets a little warmer than some of my
newer casseroles.
I always put casseroles on top of cookie sheets when I use them just for
that reason. About 17 years ago I had some friends staying with us and when
she made a tuna casserole for us one day, she took my 9 by 13 casserole out
and put it on top of the stove and it shattered. I was shocked, stood there
with my mouth open in amazement because this was a sighted person. Things
like that are only supposed to happen to us, I thought and it never has
happened to me.
Well, a new casserole made a nice gift from my son.

This does help, but I have a question of great! Concern! Here! I inherited
a
lot of my mom's glass cookware, and wonder if it is too old; I have heard
of
stuff shattering, so wonder if all of this glass ware has an age life; she
died at 91 in 2009, and had her stuff for years; I am veering towards
tossing all of it, but still, if I buy a few! Things, I wonder how long is
too long and if there is a definite useage life for glass ware?
Let two! grins! grow! where one! grouch! was before!

No--no explosions. The usual recommendation is to cook with slightly
cooler
temperatures, however. For example, if you are baking something at 350,
you
should bake at 325 in a glass pan.
Hope that helps,
Becky

Good afternoon,
What are your thoughts on baking with glass? have you had any explosions?
I'm a little leary about baking with it and just wanted your oppinions.
Thanks. _______________________________________________
