Relevant video from Ann Reardon's How To Cook That about exploding Pyrex (and the difference between all capitals and all lowercase): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVbkDAw4aJs
Turned out that distinction isn't too reliable when it comes to determining whether a product used soda lime glass or borosilicate glass instead.

In the UK PYREX cookware is always borosilicate. So it was a bit confusing to hear americans say how shit their "pyrex" glassware is.
Mind you, most of our oven proof glass is decent enough to be put in the oven and then dumped on a cold surface.
