I don't understand why anyone would do this even with real borosilicate glass. It is unreasonable to expect glass to survive with something massive and hot on one side and something massive and cold on the other side. Even flawless pyrex will break with temperature differentials above 300F.

Real Pyrex really ought to survive a 300F (150C) temperature difference.

How high do you believe? What do you think the temperature coefficient of expansion is for pyrex bakeware?
