Hi everybody. Um, this is Asker. Mom said I could tell you guys all about the physics lesson she gave us last night.
First, we put a chicken in a glass baking dish. Then, we put it in the oven and let it cook for about a half hour. Then we took it out to add the vegetables. Mom always does this. But this time, she used frozen carrots instead of fresh ones and guess what?
The glass exploded! Cool!
I told her we should have been wearing safety glasses, but then I recognized that look and went running.
Isn't homeschooling fun?
Oh, and she said if you have any comments like, "Duh!" or "Um, yeah that happens" to go suck an egg. I told her that wasn't very nice, but then I got that look again.

I Saved The Chicken and That's All That Matters

OMG... I'm sorry! (And so sorry that I am laughing so hard!)
Glad the chicken got saved. You should definitely wear safety glasses when cooking!
**so cracking up here!**
LOL I broke my MIL's Pampered Chef baking stone once doing something like that. I didn't realize she'd left the stone in the oven, and after preheating it I put a frozen lasagna on it. I bought her a new stone, and it was years ago, but she still won't leave me alone about it.
I've done that once. Only once because now I'm afraid to use glass baking pans.
I'm just glad y'all are okay.
Thanks for the giggles.
But look, it made a great lesson, a great blog story and hands on learning is sooo the best :-) right?!
Duh...
Ha. Just kidding. Go figure. Now I know not to do this. Though I probably still will someday and you can say "told you so."
No worries, you're not alone on this one. The reason I no longer cook with glass pans is because I somehow managed to blow ALL of them up.
Wow, I didn't know this would happen. Now I'm scared.
Excellent science experiment.
I did something like this when I tried to bake a frozen something on a pizza stone.
*snort*
I thought that glass baking pans were not supposed to do that! Thanks for the heads up.
Have you ever used a pressure cooker? You haven't lived until you have used a pressure cooker. They make good physics lessons too. Ha!
Funny! Not the incident, but the post.
LOL Glad everyone was okay and can laugh about it!
Have your mom try to pry the lid off of a pressure cooker before it's lost all the pressure. You'll get a lesson in physics, chemistry, first aid and just how far mashed potatoes can fly across a room.
LOL. Tell your mom that she's right: The best way to teach is through examples. ('Cause you know she totally did that on purpose.. Just like that time I turned on the disposal while there was a spoon it in.)
Oops.
I once exploded a pyrex pie plate by heating on the top of the stove.
