Corningware Rangetopper Boiled Dry?

Is it safe to let it cool slowly, clean it with baking soda pasted, and continue using it?

Or should I toss it out as "no longer safe" - due to a possible risk of it shattering explosively?

I could kick myself...but I never was that flexible...

I was boiling water for tea - got distracted...never heard a timer go off...but smelled a nylon spoon melting....

I do know enough from high school science classes not to try putting anything made from glass or ceramics into water to try to cool it off faster...that and watching a hot glass home canning jar shatter when Mom & Grandma were putting up garden produce. Glass shards are impressively sharp and they fly everywhere!
