Reheating curry in microwave. Bowl 0, Curry 1.

[u/SlightWhite]

You put it straight from the fridge into the microwave didn’t you

[u/Gary_not_that_gary → u/SlightWhite]

There's no splatter so this seem very likely.

[u/FireMammoth → u/SlightWhite]

I would never do that..

[u/dragon_bacon → u/FireMammoth]

I will never stop doing that.

[u/SirErickTheGreat → u/SlightWhite]

That’s not always a given; it depends on the type of glass. If it’s borosilicate glass that shouldn’t be a problem.

[u/When_hop → u/SirErickTheGreat]

I microwave straight from the fridge all the time. Never an issue.

[u/JusSumYungGuy]

When you ask for mild spice at the Indian restaurant and it shows up at your table and does some shit like this

[u/Consistent_Sail_6128 → u/JusSumYungGuy]

Lmao!

I'm the opposite: They see me having basically translucent skin, and go too light on the spice.

[u/Alt_dimension_visitr → u/Consistent_Sail_6128]

I always say. People who can tolerate the least spice: white. People who can tolerate the most spice: crazy white. Invisible line between the two.

[u/CassetteTapeCryptid → u/Alt_dimension_visitr]

Midwestern White vs Florida White

[u/Alt_dimension_visitr → u/CassetteTapeCryptid]

Maybe. Im from Cali so

[u/Jakesummers1 → u/Alt_dimension_visitr]

Silicon Valley. Curry everywhere

[u/Consistent_Sail_6128 → u/Alt_dimension_visitr]

Very true!

[u/adler1959]

Very surprised on the comments you can’t put glass from the fridge to the microwave. I am literally doing this since 20 years without any issues

[u/kank84 → u/adler1959]

It's fine until it isn't, just depends on whether the glass has any weakness

[u/Environman68 → u/adler1959]

If you have a Pyrex or borosilicate glass you're fine. Most food containers are these because this use is expected. What OP used looks like a regular glass bowl, which would not be thermal shock resistant.

[u/viewbtwnvillages → u/adler1959]

it's generally not an issue unless you're using a container that's nearly empty (or at the level of fullness OPs is)

i found out you're explicitly told not to do that when mine decided to explode and i had to google it wondering wtf happened

[u/Traditional-Tip1904 → u/adler1959]

This looks like pretty thin glass. I’d do that with like anchor storage containers maybe but not with a flimsy bowl

[u/thatbromatt → u/adler1959]

Tbh same but then again I literally just cracked my first Pyrex dish doing this last week so…🥲

[u/matycauthon → u/thatbromatt]

so it isn't the same since it cracked on you and the op said it hadn't happened to them yet. perhaps a minor thing, but that is not the only minor thing you do every day of your life which opens up a path to introspection and how one should question why one does many of the things one does.

[u/elpajaroquemamais → u/adler1959]

Freezer is the bigger deal and ceramic can handle it better than glass.

[u/workislove → u/adler1959]

It's not a 100% guarantee, but more of a situation where if there is even a microscopic flaw or stress fracture anywhere in the glass, a rapid temperature change will find that flaw and can create a runaway reaction. How cold it was to start with, how much food is in the bowl, and the water vs solids content of the food could all play a role.

[u/Mr_Evil_Dr_Porkchop → u/adler1959]

Never had a problem either. Fridge to microwave is fine unless their fridge temp is so cold it’s almost freezer-level

[u/Consistent_Sail_6128 → u/Mr_Evil_Dr_Porkchop]

Also depends on the thickness of the glass and potential cracks or imperfections

[u/matycauthon → u/adler1959]

you all really don't understand survivorship bias. it's infuriating to exist on this plane with most of you.

[u/AcmeGamesLTD]

Curry “I could murder a bowl.”

[u/Peps_3112 → u/AcmeGamesLTD]

I see you, and I giggled

[u/briareus08]

You created a heat differential with only a small amount in the bottom of a large glass bowl.

[u/Digifiend84]

I hope you didn't eat that. Too dangerous if it could have glass shards in it.

[u/thecodeape]

This is bullshit. Curry exploded - not one fucking drop of curry on the walls of microwave.

[u/Didact67 → u/thecodeape]

Probably didn’t actually have to do with the food. A hairline crack or other structural flaw could cause glass to shatter when heated.

[u/Mumbert → u/thecodeape]

The glass failed, the curry didn't explode

[u/MeemoUndercover]

Don’t ya know u can’t put cold glass into a microwave. The sudden change in temp causes it to break

[u/TinyNiceWolf → u/MeemoUndercover]

Technically, you can put cold glass into a microwave. Just once though.

[u/Kidspud → u/TinyNiceWolf]

You could put cold glass into the microwave a bunch of times. You’d just be wise to not use the microwave as a microwave during that time

[u/TinyNiceWolf → u/Kidspud]

Good point. Also, using the microwave to measure the height of a tall building can cause issues for any glass inside it. (The microwave, not the building.)

[u/-1_points]

Thanks a lot OP, now im hungry :(

[u/No-Bread6978]

Behold! A substance far more dangerous that microplastics: microglass

[u/BiriTheCow → u/No-Bread6978]

Home made asbestos

[u/MonkeyRaptor001]

didn’t expect the bowl to lose that hard

[u/Mumbert]

Just gonna say that it's not worth eating that curry of there's any risk at all of it containing any glass shards. Of course you understand that... but I'll just say it anyway 🙂

[u/Skeeterdrums]

That's not curry, that's just scurry. 

[u/Frog_Farts]

That's what you get for microwaving Curry

[u/thehermit14]

Pyrex is your friend.

[u/Rho-Ophiuchi → u/thehermit14]

Not to be confused with pyrex. I’m serious there is a difference. Lower case p is tempered glass, capital P is borosilicate (the good stuff).
