  • Okay, my dinner was all planned. I had one of those ice glazed chicken breasts in a pyrex glass pan in the oven...well, the juices were starting to burn, so I added a cup of warm water to the pan. BIG mistake. The pan shattered in at least 500 pieces. The oven was at 325. I have added water before and that hasn't happened. O-well live and learn. So no healthy chicken for dinner. I thought pyrex was tempered so that didn't happen. And my mom in law said it should have just cracked not shattered...

    Anyways...
