Most any glass (pyrex) or corning ware and corelle, even
cast iron should be tempered first before being heated up
fast.

One should never go from cold or room temp right to high
heat immediately.

Those corning ware baking dishes and even the corelle dinner
ware will literally explode when heated too fast or even
dropped on the floor.
