Ok. Made a mistake that I want to pass on to the masses. No fault to the company because I did not read the literature. In high school, I remember using a bunson burner with Pyrex glass to heat liquids. Right over the flame. So when I was making rice and I saw I needed a little more water I decided to try to heat the extra water before adding it in my trusty 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup on the stove top. Bad mistake. The cup exploded after like 2 minutes showering me, the floor, and all the food I was cooking with tiny shards of glass. Just a heads up in case there's someone else out there who isn't aware.
