They are also less volatile than the ethers, which means they don't evaporate as readily: when the ether evaporates, a residue of peroxide will remain, and can explode unpredictably: possibly from the heat used to evaporate the ether, or from the disturbance of handling the glassware afterwards.

ethers are prone to forming peroxides by reaction with atmospheric oxygen. Typically they are packaged under inert gas, but once the container has been opened and air gets in, peroxides can start to form. The peroxides are explosive, and typically quite sensitive: they can be set off by heat, friction, or relatively minor impacts. They are also less volatile than the ethers, which means they don’t evaporate as readily: when the ether evaporates, a residue of peroxide will remain, and can explode unpredictably: possibly from the heat used to evaporate the ether, or from the disturbance of handling the glassware afterwards.
