Pyrex pan just exploded

at least its not a corona thread

I had it happen in my sink. Stupidly ran water on it while it was hot and it exploded in my sink. Spent half an hour digging shards of glass out of the garbage disposal.

Yeah. Always set it on a trivet or an oven mitt. Rapid hot oven to cold counter will shatter it.

My neighbor decided to heat up my dish which was in a Pyrex on his Memphis smoker on Christmas eve because the ovens were all full. It was like the 4th of July.

We had a gallon size Pyrex mixing bowl explode inside one of our cabinets, no drastic temperature changes. Only thing I can think of it was winter time and the cabinet was on an external wall.

You cooking some trap

Read about a lady who opened the oven and--Boom!--she got tiny shards of glass in her eyes.

You likely had a pyrex dish instead of Pyrex. Corning used to make Pyrex out of borosilcate glass which has a VERY high tolerance for thermal shock but today pyrex is made from soda-lime glass with a much lower tolerance for thermal shock. What you describe would be VERY rare if it was borosilcate glass. With quality borosilcate glass you would have to do something like direct from the oven to an ice bath to cause an explosion.

ETA I should have explained when Corning sold the Pyrex name the company that owns the name moved all production to China and went from boro to soda lime glass and the P in Pyrex is no longer capitalized.

I have seen the difference in thermal shock in boro and soda-lime glass many times. My wife's hobby is hot glass work, when something goes wrong with something she is working on using soda lime glass she just sticks the mandrel with the glass on it in water and it explodes off the mandrel even when boro is almost straight of the torch and incandescing half the time it won't explode when it hits the water, sometimes it will crack but it won't shatter into a bunch of pieces.

Subtle "I've never cooked before" brag.
