Why glass dishes can explode unexpectedly 

Yesss

And all of you have no ideea what is tempered glass. FYI: All car windows , bus windows, bathroom glass walls shatter in the same way.

Yep, I thought I could pour liquid bismuth into an ashtray. BOOM!

Nope, but it's making me scared of glass. Lol 😬

yup, other day simply touched a thick glass cup and loudest explosion i’ve ever experienced. had me praying to the lord thinking something supernatural was happening

Instablaster.

Thats why im here lol a glass lid exploded

@@hannahmassengill130 same here

I thought it was paranormals activities

Lord help our precious children!! 💜💜

Happened to me as a little kid ! I just wanted to help with the dishes and the glass bowl suddenly exploded in the sink :(

Yeah this is new to me as well. Never heard of this.

Ya

@Cynthia Eng That just happnened to me yesterday...

@Cynthia Eng OMG..How scary. Glad to hear she wasn't injured.

@Cynthia Eng what can i use instead?

Same like with me we bring glass from ikea

same exact thing happened to me. I come to kitchen and sink is full of tiny shards

Exact same thing happened with me today with Ikea glass!! Ah thank God...there is no ghost involved!!

Ok, so I had these IKEA glasses for years and just last night I rinsed one out in tepid water and placed it in the top rack of dishwasher as I have done hundreds of times before. Minutes later heard what sounded like something fell on the flatware in the dishwasher, when I looked glass was everywhere.

@@Sniggudnhoj yeah this happened to my mom, she was in the kitchen and boom one of those large ikea glasses exploded with no explanation, actually looked like the glass was shot by a gun, thousands of pieces of glass smaller than grains of rice everywhere, near impossible to clean up

You just want attention 🙄

Not true, for many Ikea dishes. Their Oftast line is made from regular tempered glass.

My IKEA glass cup exploded a week ago

I came here because my IKEA glass cup exploded in my hand a couple of days ago. So scary because I was putting dishes in my dishwasher and usually my 2 years old helps with the process. Thank God this time she was eating dinner and wasn't there. Got rid of them immediately. Now I wanna throw all tempered class dishes.

@@denisam5344 As far as I know this would only happen when the glass is experiencing a rapid temperature change. If the surface was scratched previously this would also make it more susceptible to shattering when undergoing temperature change. The rapid temperature change creates stresses in the glass because parts of the glass are at different temperatures and materials shrink and expand depending on their temperature. A scratch creates a stress concentration at that point and is usually where the shattering initiates. I've read about shattering happening when taking dishes OUT of the dishwasher - they come out of the dishwasher hot and they start to cool down in the cupboard - but not when going in to the dishwasher. My guess is that your glass cup was made of tempered soda-lime type glass which is more susceptible to shattering under thermal stress. For what it's worth, I've had an IKEA glass baking dish for a few years now that I use almost daily. It hasn't shattered yet going in and out of a toaster oven, and sometimes out of the oven and onto an enamel stove top surface. But I don't know what would happen if I took it out of the oven and put it on a wet counter or into a sink of water - I don't want to try. According to IKEA they are made of borosilicate glass and the glass is also fairly thick. So from my experience with this one dish, borosilicate glass has been durable.

My ikea glass broke into pieces last night. On the table. I woke up and saw it

@Hector Aldozar wow so funny and witty that i forgot to laugh

*explodes*

Yes a cup broke by itself in my kitchen

lmaoaoao

god dammit

Same

What did you do with it? Put it in the oven?

It must be the cold then for this lady as well, the counter top looks like a stone

Heat and cooling cycles if you worked in a pub a glass washed pint glass cooled down you grab it with warm hands will make them explode glass is unpredictable if it's a worn out glass even more unpredictable they can explode when somone is about to drink out of it yet glass iphones even tempered glass like these are will just explode age of the glass heat and cooling cycles very scary

That makes it even more enraging but the way you said it made me laugh a bit

I had one do that recently. Apparently, Pyrex was bought a few years back.

Just happened to me an hour ago. I'm having a glass of wine in between cleaning the carnage. Cannot believe the spread of the shattered glass. It was like a bomb went off.

😯😬

Baahahaha! So demonic tho

@@classicrockcafe eleven? Telekinetic powers is from super star, where she likes a movie of a girl that gets possessed by a demon and avenges all her bullies, thats why mary katherine gallenger likes the movie in the movie!

The fact that that are reporting on broken dishes? Ya def crazy

@@AlanaBananaCanada News channels often report on products that have problems. They also report on safety recalls of products. It's to raise awareness.

Yeah I need answers!

👍

Be prepared for shattering put goggles on

Look up tampered glass. All your car windows are like this.

Pyrex and similar type glass will do this from temperature change. She may have brought them from out side on a hot day and brought them inside and it was very cool. That's my two cents.

Something often needs to trigger the explosion. Tempered glass is under extremely high temperature and simply placing it on the counter can cause it to trigger.

I can easily imagine a glass full of milk

LOL
