Why would a glass pan shatter in the oven?
When glass goes rapidly from something cold to hot (like a freezer to an oven) or vice versa, it can experience “thermal shock.” Different sections of a piece of bakeware can expand or contract differently and cause it to lose its structure, resulting in a shattering effect.
Can I freeze lasagna in a Pyrex dish?
