Jenny Agutter posted:Pyrex is made from cheap tempered glass and isn't particularly temperature shock resistant One night a few years ago I was cooking dinner and had put a Pyrex pan with cornbread in the oven to cook. A few minutes later I put some water on to boil, planning to make mashed potatoes. I then realized we didn't have any potatoes so I dumped the water out but forgot to turn off the burner. When the cornbread was finished, I took it out of the oven and proceeded to put it directly on the still-on burner which I had forgotten about. It survived about 90 seconds before exploding with the loudest bang I think I've ever heard from inside my house. loving glass everywhere, dogs scared out of their minds. It was horrific.

You can still get borosilicate cookware, there's just almost no correlation between that and the Pyrex brand any more.

E: and yeah, once Corning sold the Pyrex brand it was slapped on a bunch of soda-lime glass cookware that has nothing to do with the original pyrex product line.

Or is Pyrex a genericized term now? It's still borosilicate in Europe and lab glassware everywhere. If it isn't made by Corelle, it's the real stuff.

easy way to tell - good Pyrex is uppercase, lovely new soda-lime stuff is lowercase.

Obviously there are difficulties applying OSHA regulations to this kind of self produced content but when people are seriously hurting themselves chasing youtube fame it's a real problem. Another video that i think illustrates these problems is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hktmsFspif0 Worse to me than the idiot FPSRussia guy nearly killing himself, he also repeatedly endangered the life of his camera man, even demanding he continue filming after being injured as a result of an explosion. It's probably a good think this guy had all his guns confiscated by ATF

My mom had a set of stovetop Pyrex cookware. It's not very good for heat transfer but you can easily go from stovetop to oven at least. I think she got it from some Avon catalogue or painted pampered chef or something.

Cast iron really does rule. The only OSHA violations I could see is dropping it on your foot or grabbing a handle when it's screaming hot.

I've got a couple of those silicon pot handle condoms that make handling them a lot easier. Still quite heavy, but worth it if you can handle it.

Big Dick Cheney posted:How much damage would this do to a car in park? Or parked mode. Whatever you call the "P" on an automatic. Do you mean to the car in general, or to like the brakes specifically, because a force is pushing against wheels that are locked in "park"? It's probably not a simple question because there are a lot of factors and it would vary from car type to car type, how dry and grippy the road is (this one seems pretty icy), how worn the brakes are. The answer is probably somewhere between "enough" and "plenty". Assuming your car was just being pushed along by a small mountain of snow and didn't hit anything else and was just stopped when the avalanche ran out of energy, probably some dents and dings, possibly some tire damage and brakes will probably need a looksie. If you are like one of the unfortunate fucks that got buried and pushed along the path, probably totaled.

CzarChasm posted:Do you mean to the car in general, or to like the brakes specifically, because a force is pushing against wheels that are locked in "park"? I think they're asking about transmission damage from the car being pushed while in park. The damage would be to the parking pawl inside the transmission in that case, but I doubt the tires would hold friction on any pavement, dry or not, enough to overcome the metal strength of the pawl without some sort of acute push (like a fast avalanche's initial hit).

Blindeye posted:Enjoy a very OSHA safe design: Working in security, I would get calls a few times a year from people who were obsessed with the idea booby trapping their homes and yards. And they'd want to know what manufacturers offered products for this. It was always a bit of a problem because people doing poo poo like that pose a danger to fire departments, EMS, along with delivery people and mail people. Generally I'd try to talk them out of it but I would always pass on their info to fire departments and law enforcement. I really didn't like the idea of mixing law enforcement and people with mental illness but it was the best solution I could find.

I guess maybe I was just being overly paranoid! Granted all mine are enamelled but glass stovetops are pretty tough. Even if it does abrade the surface a little it won't be that bad surely.
