It would indeed. I know this, because I left a glass casserole dish on a hot stove eye when I was young. A while later it exploded and the kitchen floor was marred with little burns from glass "meteorites " from the explosion. Thankful no one was in the kitchen to say the least.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoPyrex made a range of "flameware" frying pans that you can still sometimes find on eBay, using an "aluminosilicate" glass. Sold them for forty years. There are a few details about Flameware here. https://gizmodo.com/the-pyrex-glass-controversy-that-just-wont-die-1833040962 https://gizmodo.com/the-pyrex-glass-controversy-that-just-wo... You can find them on eBay still. I definitely wouldn't use one; they seem utterly impractical. They must be heavy, they are small, and the clip-on, rather than bolt-on handles are going to be rusted and dodgy at this point. You can see why they chose that strategy (to avoid a heat stress point around a bolt) but it can't be without its risks.
- Werewolf255 5y agoI've got a 'flameware' saucepan and it works great. Very light and visually interesting, but I put it away for special because I'm always worried I'll break it. The strap and clip handle is fine on my pan but it does seem like it needs to be tightened up every so often,so I could see it being a common point of failure.
