In which she wails at kitchenware

My new Pyrex glassware says that it must be used in a preheated oven only.

My new Marinex glassware says that it must not be used in a preheated oven under any circumstances.

a) How on earth am I going to remember which is which, and
b) WHY?


[In shinier news, the New Zealand government has agreed to delay the implementation of guilt-upon-accusation in the new Copyright Amendment Act. "[T]he Creative Freedom Foundation's high-volume "blackout" campaign [...] will now go down in history as the first viral internet campaign to stop - or at least delay - a law." This is rocksome on many levels.]

I kept a lot of Pyrex when I cleared out, and I use it in the microwave where it gets hot very quickly. Nothing's ever broken. But most of mine is at least 20 years old, so maybe it's being made differently now.
