Can I heat a pyrex casserole dish on a gas hob (rapid answers needed)?

No!! I tried this and the dish exploded.

i wouldn't

TY...I shall leave that for a rainy day when I want to imagine my dish is someone nasty's head

no-glass does not expand as rapidly as a flame will heat it. result-shattered glas or at least a split bowl.

No .. it says so on the blurb that comes with it (I brought a new one a month ago)

Trust me - exploding risotto is quite a pain to clear up!!!!!

Ooh, mine is not one of pyrex's glass casserole dish, but one of their pottery ones.

no the heat of the flame is too rapid, if used in an oven put it in to heat up with the oven.

Hi, I can see this is a very old thread, but I viewed t because I had the same question.
I read the responses with interest, because it led me to wonder, how glass saucepans work without exploding… any ideas?
im asking because I love using glass saucepans, but because I find them quite pricey, I was looking at other vessels (nothing metal) in order to heat and or cook food.
TIA
