I have never used anything but pyrex what ever you do not use anything that is not marked for microwave use whatever you do do not use coffee cups or any other potentials that would not be I tempered for temperatures in your microwave we have been burned many times by hot plastic but definitely do not want anything exploding in my face we do where I protection at all times make sure that you were wearing goaves I usually only wear one of that time handling the injector with but to be on the safe side I use both hands protected also I would be wearing longsleeved shirts also do not wear shorts I should practice what I preach I have burn my legs many times with plastic and whatever you do using hot plastic tape every caution possible protect yourself.

Thank god it wasnt hot but little shard of glass went everywhere. I will now replace all my cups just to stay safe and I encourage you all to do the same.

were these old pyrex Cups there might be some concerns and how long you used 1 cup perhaps time the high temperature of the plastic may cause the glass to break down or is if you lose its structure so far we've had no problems knock on wood but we will start replacing to be on the safe side. Have you wrote to the company and asking them any questions they may have some answers for you.
