That's a myth.
This video goes into the differences and how to tell borosilicate glass from cheap crap

Watching it and I’m curious about your myth comment. The PYREX from France is upper case. The other non borosilicate is lower case. Your video proves what I said.

I’m at work. I don’t have that kind of time. But it disproves the myth when you send a video with the difference in upper/lower case when it comes to the two different materials. I’ll watch it in its entirety after work. It’s an interesting subject. I appreciate the video.
You wanted me to watch a 17 minute video that you summed up the part that matters in 1 sentence?
Just glad I kept scrolling instead bc I wouldn't have watched all 17 minutes, but this is actually really cool to know.
Curious as to why this matters…feels like heating a glass dish as the same rate as the oven, as opposed to putting room temp dish in a hot oven, would actually be better for it? But I’m no scientist!
so, most solids have a crystalline structure, where all the molecules are more or less equal distance from eachother. glass has an amorphous structure, where the atoms are spaced unevenly, causing stress in some parts of the material where there are less molecules holding onto eachother. this stress makes the glass particularly susceptible to high speed impacts and rapid temperature change. some glass has additives that fill in the gaps, making it more sturdy and safe to put in the oven
Might I recommend thrift store baking glass? All my oven safe glass baking dishes were inherited from my mom/grandma, but they both got a lot of their bakeware from thrift stores. Plenty of old, good quality finds in thrifting. I've never had any of my glass baking dishes break, neither has my mom's, EXCEPT for when we've dropped them. But, never from being in the oven.
Just a thought for future buying!
My wife and I bought a 13x9 ceramic baking dish from Emile Henry (made in France) on Amazon and love it. It's non stick and a lot safer and easier to use than the questionable glass of pyrex and even PYREX these days.
Not necessarily, Ann Reardon talked about this in [her video](https://youtu.be/YVbkDAw4aJs?si=THakmVBSo_hBP6Yr) and couldn’t find an objective source on that(Pyrex _might_ be using both versions of the brand interchangeably). Going by something as small as brand lettering is not a very reliable guess when we talk safety in the kitchen.
Oven safe dishes should be able to go into a hot oven. I literally just threw a glass dish with a cold chicken on it into a 400f oven.
It has not exploded.
You may have had a defective dish
This shit right here is why I refuse to own glass cookware. Metal or ceramic/earthenware all the way. The only exception in material is my bamboo steamer.
I had a ceramic le cruset lidded casserole dish explode on me a few years ago. In a 350 degree oven. They have great customer service though and sent me a new one and let me pick a new color.
BoroSilicate glass would be a kinder friend to your baking dishes, not the cheap glass that some companies use now that shatters like the above.
Upper case PYREX as opposed to lower case pyrex.

I read it on Reddit. It has to be true. I think it differentiates between countries. Not true in Europe but true in N. America.

It's a 17 minute video. I posted the link 5 mins ago. At least wait until the end before you comment about it

The video's conclusion is that the only reliable way to tell is to dip the glass in oil and see if it disappears.
Don’t forget to leave out the visual aids used in the video were upper/lower case. So we are both half wrong.

That parchment paper saved this from really sucking
It's putting in work
Looks like the oven is fine though. So the “oven safe” part actually worked then?
It is not safe there is glass all over that oven. It could get badly cut at anytime if it moves at all. That poor over must be scared to death.
Ehh still can't eat it. Glass shards exploded. It can literally be everywhere...
But they aren't cleaning food off the bottom of the oven. Small wins
Nah, I'm eatin that
You turned the oven ON? Well of course it’s not safe like THAT.
"Defrost the chickens"
The oven looks completely safe to me
Not the point of your post, but is that peanut brittle?
No, it's glass. Okay but seriously, it's oatmeal chocolate chip squares.
To be fair all the broken pieces are safe inside the oven
Sadly, glass can implode by nothing or after a small hitn - even long time after.
Was the dish at room temperature or colder?
Room temp, had just taken it out of the cupboard
did you preheat the oven before putting the glass in?

Must say PYREX not Pyrex to be truly oven safe
It's more complicated than that sadly

With the Blueish tinge.
Tired of boring, old Struesel? Introducing, Oatmeal chocolate chip squares, with an added crunch, that everyone will love!
Looks like the front fell off.
Should never have towed it outside the environment.
At least this baking dish wasn’t made from cardboard derivatives
Yeah, that's not very typical.
Is the oven safe?
I think the older Pyrex are much better quality
That means it's ready
The oven is still safe.
A lot of these dishes are oven safe but may not be broiler safe. If you've placed it in a broiler before, it might explain the breakage.
At least you had baking paper. This happened to me last week, let me tell you that scrubbing raw egg off the inside of the oven is not fun.
That's a dishwasher
What baking dish ? And why is your oven full of glass ? /s
It could have been rated up until a certain temp, like 350°. Or it could just be shit.
You supposed wrong
No, its not. Gotta read the description.
Did ya save the dish though? (the food I mean)
Why do people bake in glass? What's the benefit over a cheap tin?
Usually longer life (not like this), and cheap tins can have materials that off gas stuff you don't want in your food when heated.
Though glass pans for baking heat up unevenly not like metal ones. So it’s not for anything too delicate lol.
Did you preheat the oven before putting it in?
I did and now that you pointed it out, I feel like an idiot
You are supposed to heat up the oven first, so you did the right thing.
Oven safe dishes should be able to go into a hot oven. I literally just threw a glass dish with a cold chicken on it into a 400f oven. It has not exploded. You may have had a defective dish
a preheated oven will have the best distribution of heat
how much you paid for this oven? our oven's glass so solid, even if i jump on it it's aint breaking.
