I hade a large Pyrex casserole dish violently shatter on me one. That gave me a good scare.

Pyrex glassware, which came out in 1915 and was long marketed as “icebox to oven” cookware that did not expand or compress when exposed to high heat or low temperatures, is no longer made of that hardy borosilicate glass. And the new stuff, scientists publishing in the American Ceramics Society Bulletin have found, doesn’t stand up well to some of the temperature changes involved in cooking.

It might be that Paul personally would need 3 to 6 days to produce a door. But I'm inclined to think that statement is highly exaggerated when applied to heater builders in general.

I used casserole lids as doors extensively back in 2012, and they seem perfect for a short while. And then, they explode violently. No kidding, every one I tried, after a few weeks of hard burning, would eventually fail dramatically, spraying glass chips all over the room and pelting things with hot glass. I consider them dangerous, so please use at your own risk.

Why is Visions so light and clear and yet able to handle such extreme changes in temperature? Because it’s made of a revolutionary glass ceramic material called Pyroceram, developed by scientists to protect the nose cones of space shuttles from incredible and extreme temperature changes.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
