Be warned my friends, lower case pyrex glass is not borosilicate.
Transfer your colds and hots with care.

Thought they made the switch like a decade ago.
I have a habit of acid etching shit nowadays to see if itâs glass or boro. The boro wonât etch at all but the glass will.

Has anyone cracked a newer Pyrex dish putting it in the oven?? We cook a lotta brownies and pasta dishes in them and never have I broke one.
Maybe they ainât ideal for lab glass but Iâve never seen one break from normal kitchen use.

That can crack the marble or granite just as easy as the pan

Iâm using ceramics now for baking after that. Soooo sad lol.

Granite countertops are actually pretty resistant to thermal shock
Thermal shock is exceedingly rare for granite countertops. The typical home chef/cook wouldnât expose their countertops to the temperatures that would cause granite to snap.

Thermal shock is exactly how the Egyptians quarried granite. Does colonial marble and granite warranty their countertops against thermal shock? No, they donât. They actually recommended not placing hot pans on your counter top in the link you posted.
Im sure it would have to be pretty cool. But I could see it doing that. That said, we use them and go directly onto our cultured quarts counters sometimes, no issues here thankfully.

Source on the Egyptian mining claim?
Itâs not impossible for it to thermal shock but itâs âexceedingly rareâ , youâll find the same phraseology everywhere you look. glass cookware will break from thermal shock exponentially more easily than a granite countertop , so your initial post is inaccurate. Iâm not going to take it personally however you decide to digest this information
Edit: Common sense assumption but I just verified it. Borosilicate glass is far less resistant to thermal shock than granite

Only breaks my parents have had on their granite countertops have been from impact/mechanical wear. No issues from thermal shock as they regularly use them to cool pans from the oven.

Iâve taken a âpyrexâ pan out of the oven (450f) and put them on my stainless prep table and it exploded instantly. Since then i ALWAYS use a oven mat to put them on.

What tools do you use with stainless pans? I love our stainless paint scrapers for mixing and agitating batches in glass pans but i dont like the idea of stainless tools scraping against stainless pans.

Use fep tools, problem solved
As long as there isnât a whole lot of butane in your collection, these hold up pretty well (polypropylene). The tips arenât as sharp as the stainless ones so you canât get as clean of a scrape.
any specific ones you can link? I have not been able to find any. thanks!
Jesus⌠15 times the cost of a stainless scraper.
