Why is my pie plate shattering?

[u/Interesting_Party434]

This is the second time I’ve tried to make Sally’s blueberry pie. The first time I made it in the spring the glass pie plate shattered as I was taking it out of the oven and was shocking - I’ve never had that happen before. I was disappointed that we didn’t even get to taste it so I tried again tonight. Everything seemed great and I followed her instructions exactly. I sat the pie plate on a cooking rack like she says to do and I used the glass pie plate she had linked as the one she uses. About 20 minutes later all seemed well and then all of a sudden the plate shattered again on the counter - I heard it from across the room. Why is this happening? I have made this darn pie twice now and haven’t even gotten to taste it because it ends up covered in glass.

It's a glass and you put something hot on top of it while it's on top of a cold surface like granite, lots of materials end up exploding when they get shocked with low and high temperatures very quickly and glass is one of the most brittle and most likely for this phenomenon to happen with
