This is my small batch, artisanal data: As an avid baker and engineer, over the last decade I've had two pieces of cast iron catastrophically fail vs one piece of borosilicate. I'm not sure if that makes metal twice as dangerous, or if people maybe report things breaking disproportionately to the manufactured volume...
I will say feeding my future father in law a glass casarole was not a strong move.
- Xcelerate 8y ago> I've had two pieces of cast iron catastrophically fail How does cast iron fail? Was this like a cast iron pan or an enameled dutch oven?
- geggam 8y agoCheap cast has impurities causing expansion rate differences. Cast being brittle will cause that to pop. Also one of the reasons brazing cast is not straightforward
- sethherr 8y agoI’d just like to point out that I have and broke Pyrex, not borosilicate (as explained by the article).
