I love how you dealt with him, too - good for you! Thank goodness no one was hurt when the Pyrex flew apart - how frightening!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13628639090267311898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-50131293052080359312008-06-02T03:27:00.000-05:002008-06-02T03:27:00.000-05:00I loved this post - that's just how so many days g...I loved this post - that's just how so many days go isn't it. As for the pyrex dish, how bizarre - my dishwasher nips chunks off the edge of pyrex for a pastime (I've never quite figured how but short of sitting in the dishwasher as it does it's thing I guess I never will) so I reckon the whole family had better don tin hats and flak jackets at mealtimes don't you?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352283065863856112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-45142667388674506512008-06-01T16:51:00.000-05:002008-06-01T16:51:00.000-05:00What a day!!I used to really like Pyrex, but heard...What a day!!<BR/>I used to really like Pyrex, but heard of several exploding incidents, & have reverted to pottery bakewear.meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-17445130390069621642008-06-01T11:40:00.000-05:002008-06-01T11:40:00.000-05:00I had a Pyrex dish explode in February - blessings...I had a Pyrex dish explode in February - blessings that everyone was out of the kitchen - it would have been exactly eye level with Little Boy. It exploded EVERYWHERE and we had to throw out all the uncovered food in the room as there was little glass shards in everything, but that was really nothing compared to what could have been.

The dumb cook left it on a burner and then turned on that burner rather than the one in front. We won't mention the dumb cook's name, but luckily I was on the other side of the kitchen when it exploded. Sometimes I am my own biggest "bear".MARCIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239774105939045673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-44105990578551267822008-05-31T08:09:00.000-05:002008-05-31T08:09:00.000-05:00What a day you had!

I believe I read somewhere recently...could it have been "Cooks Illustrated" maybe...that Pyrex ware should not go from hot oven to cool surface. Best put a hot pad or towel between it and the table. Hard to remember that after all these years of otherwise.Lindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-860287632270981582008-05-30T23:04:00.000-05:002008-05-30T23:04:00.000-05:00I love the bear example!

Life has a tendency to teach us what I call wiggling. You have a problem, and you just have to keep wiggling until you find the solution.
