DH's Classic Pizza Stone Encounter with a Friend

[janetupnorth]

So this is funny...DH is getting into this stuff...

He was talking to a guy at camp who wants to try making a pizza on a stone and see if he likes it then buy one. So, DH calls me up to see if I'd part with my large round stone for a bit so this guy can try it out. He then told him that he knows right where he can purchase one when he wants to buy.

So, that was classic...literally...classic round stone...

This guy is a neighbor and friend and stood up in our wedding so I'm going to lend him my lg. round stone AND thinking of the new large round stone with handles...I haven't taken mine out of the box yet! Yikes!

I admit though, I'm SLIGHTLY fearful of all the breakage reports on that one!

I lend stuff out all the time. Especially if it is a higher ticket item that someone is hemming and hawing on. Thus far I have not had a problem........

side note-I am having trouble spelling today...DH says maybe because I have the hood of my hoodie on in the house.......

I lend out too if I know and am comfortable with person...it's resulted in some cookware sales.

I'm planning on lending them out - I just am fearful on the round stone with handles breaking on him with the breakage issues. Classic reg. round I have no problem with.

"you break it you bought it"... ha ha ha... just remember the cost of a replacement stone if it gets broken is a write off.... of course you will have to season it again

the round stone with handles... breakage issues...

What breakage issues?

I just had a host open up her brand new stone with handles to find it cracked. She was hoping to use it this weekend, has not received a replacement yet. I was thinking of ordering one for myself but not until I hear more about these issues.

Mine's fine and none of my guests have had an issue.

Mine's fine and none of my guests have had an issue.

I haven't had any issues either....and haven't had any issues reported by guests.

 

[janetupnorth]

Good - I lent him both this a.m.Others had talked about their customers using them 2-3 times and they cracked. I'll just hope I have a good one.

I've been using my large round stone for months and have not had one issue with it! AND I store it standing on its side with all my other stones and cookies sheets, etc- no breakage problems what so ever- and I'm not the most gentle person when it comes to my cookware!

mine w/handles broke at a SHOW! I was so embarrassed!!:cry: It is my ONLY stone that has EVER broke on me!

NO!!!!!!!!! You can lend things out to people, but do NOT put a stone on a grill!!! The direct heat WILL cause it to break. If it doesn't break, it will put micro-fractures in the stone which means it will break later, and at that time it will be your "fault".
