Exploded in the oven. This isn't real Pyrex, it dangerous junk. I was just broiling a piece of fish in my oven, when I reached in with a spatula to remove the fish the dish exploded. Real Pyrex is made from borosilicate which is very heat resistant, this is made from cheap lime glass. Corning sold the Pyrex brand in 1998 and the current owners use it as a brand name but they don't make it out of actual pyrex glass (i.e. borosilicate glass). If you search the Internet for exploding pyrex you will find numerous references to the problem including from Consumer Reports. I wish I had done the search before I bought this, failing to do so has left me with an oven full of shattered glass. If you are looking for Pyrex you should instead look for borosilicate baking dishes instead.
