Let’s hope you were able to get an exchange. I’m glad that didn’t happen while you were cooking or else that could have wasted the dinner.

All part of the "breaking in" process.

What kind of cooker did you get? I never heard of a glass cooker that you put in an oven at full temperature.

You read it wrong. OP set up the cooker, emptied out the insides (Racks/trays) then put it on full heat for 30 minutes. The inner glass of the cooker/oven shattered afterwards. It's why manufacturers tell you to do a max heat test with new cookers/ovens to see if there's a manufacturers defect!

You found the manufacturer defect... better now then when your cooking something!

That's defective glass, happens but still sucks.

Time to dig out the warranty slip!

I’m going

hi guys, im surprised this was published but i posted this the week before Christmas. i did manage to get another new one so my first christmas in my own flat wasnt ruined.

We had a new one do that, and blow the glass in the door right out. It's tempered glass, and a minor defect can cause it to explode when heated.
