Many years ago I had a Pyrex drink pitcher. It was perfect for pouring

If a pitcher is advertised as "dishwasher and microwave safe" would you
assume you could pour boiling water into it?

Likely not, it is the quick change in temperature that cause the
cracking. Dishwashers don't get anywhere near boiling and the nuker
heats it gradually.
