The night before last, I was baking supper. I made a great chicken dish, in a pyrex baking dish. I opened the over to check on it and it suddenly exploded. Lucky it didn't spread out far enough to hurt me, while I was running. Thumbsup

Needless to say supper wasn't any good for consumption. I closed the door. And cleaned the floor of glass shards. With a low riding dog like radar, I got nervous. I vacummed, swept and used a damp mop, to make sure I had all the pieces.

Good part was we went out to eat. Although with all the work I had to do that night and yesterday, didn't seem to make me enjoy a night out. Doh

I decided to NOT clean the oven until yesterday. That was a joy. Certainly makng sure ALL the glass is out of every nook and cranny isn't easy. I feel I did get it all. Like the floor I vacummed and used damp paper, hoping the glass would cling to it, a cloth would have to be rinsed and rung out. This included the pan tray under the oven, and the baking dishes in it. Banghead

I ended with doing the clean cycle after I was sure everything was out. Took me almost all day.

Anyway, I have had these pyrex dishes for many years, I will never use the remaining ones. I'll get the good old metal.

Wow! Thank goodness no one was hurt. Do you have any idea what could have caused it?

You're so talented, your cooking is probably dynamite but you can't take that literally! ROFL

DH was a glass blower when we first got married. And he said that it probably developed a small strain in it somewhere. But thats the last time I use glass.

I do have some explosive results. lol!

Interesting. I never knew they could explode like that unless you poured cold water in them (don't ask me how I know that) Bigums

Wow never had that happen before and we cook with glass containers like you had. Maybe we should get rid of them.
