Working a urine job today. I dip my measuring cup into my 150 degree osr bucket and hear a "Pop". Lifted out my Pyrex cup and sure enough it had cracked.

I always thought Pyrex was supposed to be able to handle heat. Guess not. Thermal shock.

Send them a pic. Maybe they will give you a contract to test their cups and certify them.

Pyrex is now made in China. It is garbage.

Go find a REAL Pyrex cup made in the USA, perhaps at a thrift store. It will not pop.
