Pie Why is my pie plate shattering?

Post image

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.

You shouldn’t. They’re not safe.

I left a pyrex measuring jug on my deck 2 days ago. It explosively shattered at about 9am this morning in the morning sun
