exploding casserole dishes: as common as lightning strikes! who knew?

A little googling has shown that Pyrex explosions are far more common than I would have imagined. Most incidents I read about involved temperature shifts: for example, there are a lot of reports of dishes shattering upon being removed from a hot oven and placed on a merely warm stovetop. My experience of spontaneous quiche-crust explosion is not, however, unprecedented.


Today I MUST NOT omit to:

- go to the bank
- buy tokens
- buy a new phone cord
- finish cleaning out the oven

ETA: Wow, I think that was my most productive lunchtime errand-running ever.
