Pyrex is not broiler-safe

I didn't know this, did you? Maybe it said so somewhere in the original packaging, but who stops and reads the instructions for a casserole dish?

I found this out while reading about vegetable gratins in the current issue (Jul/Aug 2008) of Cook's Illustrated. This also might explain an explosion our friends experienced last week with a Pyrex dish in the oven...

Now I'm going to need to search out a clay or porcelain casserole dish for use with the broiler. And I suggest you do the same too, if you've been using Pyrex with the broiler.
