tell me about it. the pyrex measuring cups i'v had won't even withstand the dishwasher. clear example of a formerly-trusted brand cutting corners somewhere and the result is yet another shoddy product for the consumer. unfortunately for us, that brand has their market cornered and people will just continue to buy the shit, regardless.

Your Pyrex won't explode if you gently bring it up to temperature.
It is still glass, it is more like a liquid than a solid, and will expand abruptly when exposed to a sudden large temperature change.

Pyrex is a trade name for a brand of borosilicate glass. Doesn't matter what store sells it Pyrex is Pyrex. Same kind of glass used for lab glassware and if it's breaking it's likely thermal shock or it has sustained a hit that caused a micro-crack which makes it much easier to break with sudden heat changes.

I use a lot of glass for various things and other than dropping it never had any breakage.

Only Pyrex I ever broke, was when I put a cold dish on a hot stove plate, not knowing it was on.
Lost extraction of 3-foot san pedro in the process.

wiki:
"Pyrex (trademarked as PYREX) is a brand introduced by Corning Inc. in 1908 for a line of clear, low-thermal-expansion borosilicate glass used for laboratory glassware and kitchenware. Pyrex sold in the United States is made of tempered soda-lime glass; outside of North America the costlier borosilicate is still used.

Corning no longer manufactures or markets Pyrex-branded borosilicate glass kitchenware and bakeware in the US. World Kitchen, LLC, which was spun off from Corning in 1998, licensed the pyrex (all lower case) brand for their own line of kitchenware products—differentiated by their use of clear tempered soda-lime glass instead of borosilicate."
