Preheating the oven can also increase the risk of thermal shock shattering the glass. The maximum tolerated temperature change for soda-lime glass is only ~60C.

Not being able to put it under a broiler is a huge disadvantage for nicely finishing dishes like a lasagna.

I have had this happen. Mac and cheese into the preheated oven, boom. Glass shards all over the dishes on the lower rack. Almost ruined Thanksgiving.

Was that with PYREX/pyrex or just a random casserole dish?
