Pyrex is pretty heatproof too.

Strange fact - what we now call Pyrex was originally developed for the railways. Signals used to run gas/oil lamps, which of course burn extremely hot. They are also on one colour for long periods of time, so the coloured glass lenses would get very warm indeed. If it then started to rain, the contraction caused by the cooling would shatter the glass. A new class of glasses called borosilicates was developed to solve this - and quickly found use in the kitchen under the trademark Pyrex.

Every day is a schoolday... :)
