Well after nearly 3 years of use it cracked. Apparently using this thing on an electric stove can cause this from what I just read.. took a while to crack but for me finally did.
It was a 2L borosilicate glass.. NOT pyrex but it was purchased from a big homebrewing outlet.
I didn't notice it was cracked until after I pitched my starter... hope its alright.. pray to the brew gods for me !
The starter looked and smelled normal so hope thats good enough to not develop any kind of infection. Didn't see any glass or anything in the starter, just the crack and a little gummy yeast on one corner outside of it.
I just purchased an actual Pyrex brand flask and a burner plate from amazon.. lesson learned.
Heres some pics for proof in the pudding.. The burnt/char is on the outside of the flask not inside.
