Pyrex will explode....

If put on a hot plate. I pulled our German pancakes out of the oven and put it on a hotplate that I didn't know was on. Dan and Lily and I were standing across from the stove (about 2 steps) when the 9X13 pan exploded. Lily was so scared she was shaking and crying. The only injury was that Lily had a small cut on her arm. We're still finding shards of glass. Oh, and we had to have oatmeal instead of german pancakes for breakfast. Bummer.
