Exploding Chicken Parmesean

So first thing I'm going to say right off - Mom don't kill me. I checked and it didn't harm your oven at all, so no worries.

 

So I was making chicken parmesean and well, it was my most eventful cooking experience ever! I've had food taste bad after I thought my idea would be good, or I've had water boil over (who hasn't?), but I've never had this!

 

So when I lived at home, I have put the oven on broil before, and put pyrex dishes in for very short periods of time and on a very low rack (since heat is from the top). Well, I wasn't using a pyrex dish but a cheapo one I bought, it wasn't even in there for about 7 minutes, Ethan and I were talking and we just heard a shatter. Looking in the oven, the baking dish COMPLETELY shattered. Yes yes, maybe I should've used my pizza pan or something, but it was dirty and so the baking dish was quickest thing on hand.

 

So lesson learned: 1) do not buy cheapo glass dishes 2) I guess never put glass on broil setting for low amounts of time regardless of glass

 

I'm surprised this never happened to me when living at home, because sometimes I left a dish in for about 15 minutes and this still never happened to me @_@

 

Oh, we still ate the chicken - no glass pieces in it XD
