So I was getting ready to make a starter yesterday. Thinking gas would be better for my flask than sitting on the electric burner, I got out my nice butane catering burner. Set it up, fill my flask with warm water, and set it on the burner. Turn it on about halfway, and about thirty seconds later I hear a bad sound. Sure enough, there is a crack running all the way across the bottom of a 2000mL Pyrex flask. It doesn't leak much water, but it's really broken. Anyone else had a similar occurance? I thought these things were pretty resilient to temperature...
