the drain can have little a grease, as a treat

    It depends on where you’re from, glass jars/drinking glasses in Germany don’t shatter from thermal shock, but they do in the US.

    I reflexively yelled at my boss once because he poured recently boiling water out of a glass and turned the cold faucet on to rinse it out while scrubbing, and I thought he was about to cut the shit out of his hand. He got contemplative for a moment and then said that he had forgotten that that used to happen in Afghanistan (where he was from), but it doesn’t happen in Germany.

      Just putting oil in a few dozen times won’t shatter it. A few hundred cooling cycles might, but you change jars by then.

        It won’t necessarily shatter it, but it absolutely can. I’ve done it with a jar I had washed the original product out of shortly beforehand. Just because it’s never happened to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

                Yep, I was PISSED. I can’t even eat pork and was just being a good houseguest the morning after a party, and then suddenly had to clean up a bunch of shattered glass and pork fat in someone else’s kitchen.

                Canning jars are made to withstand temperature changes though.

                  Weird. I mean tomato sauce jars are too, at least once. Was it a pickle or jam jar? Ive had those break just placing them on the counter.

                    They all are, once, unless people are selling unsealed jarred goods. I don’t remember what it was exactly, but it would have been something I used when cooking breakfast, so maybe salsa.
