All Growing Up


Just looking to learn and share about growing organically, permaculture and biodynamic gardening. Green living and practices, upcycling and reusing are also big areas of interest, as well as a few fun pictures and jokes.

(also want to add that I am not a vegetarian or vegan, I am a dedicated omnivore. However, I support individual choice and am into a lot of rawvegan diet/recipes/practices)

Questions or Advice: Both needed!!!

I am officially part of an urban myth…

…and I can tell you definitively that yes, Pyrex pans can explode in the oven.

2 fucking hours of work cleaning hundreds of glass shards, pasta, and cheese out of the oven last night and the damned oven still isn’t clean and I am still finding tiny bits of glass in it.

For the record, I was using a less than 2 month old pan and the problems appear to be with Pyrex made after 1989 when the company was sold and the new owner decided to cheap out and use a different formulation for the glass. The company is fond of claiming that 100% of exploding glassware issues are the cook’s fault, but I sincerely doubt it. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/homeowners/pyrex.html

What the hell?? This terrifies me because I love baking with my Pyrex. Sorry this happened to you!!
