Pretty sad when a mfr has to teach its customers how to use dangerous
products rather than make them safer. How come in cars we gotta
buckle up, buy kid seats, pay for incredibly expensive airbags, etc,
yet Pyrex gets away with selling a MORE dangerous product!? What's
next? Passenger seats in front of the grill and a youtube vid from
Jeff Gordon telling us to drive into a concrete abutment?

If the insurance companies had to shell out more money, you can bet
Pyrex would be making safer glass. I solved the whole problem by
tossing all my exploding soda-lime crap and buying steel pans or
stoneware.
