(I am fine. But my 8x10 dish sure did just /detonate/ in my kitchen.)

@Phorm Did you happen to purchase boomosilicate accidentally?

Seriously though eep. hoping it was empty

@Phorm also huh TIL Pyrex stopped using borosilicate a while back and they're just tempered glass now

@Doephin

I think I actually did! In that, as you rightly point out, apparently Pyrex is distinctly different these days.

It was mercifully empty, thank goodness. But it still made a mess. Regardless, it was probably the best possible outcome on that. No injury, no other damage.
