Can our stoneware be used in propane ovens?
I have a past host that got the large round stone at her show in September. She emailed me that it broke and sent a piece in with her receipt to get a replacement. She also ordered 2 large bar pans in February since she was still using metal pans and LOVED her large round. She uses it regularly for chicken somehow?!?
I saw her today (she received her pans last week) and she said 'you're never going to believe this!"....her large bar pan cracked in two! She explained that she took my advice after her other one cracked last month (and the replacement hasn't arrived yet) and made sure the chicken was unthawed or almost completely thawed and placed in her oven before turning it on (so no preheating the oven and placing frozen chicken in there on a room temp stone) and it still cracked!
She stated that her propane oven is always warm even when it is 'off' so she thought that might be the problem. But I know her personally and she's such a sweet soul that I just know she's telling the truth that the chicken was unthawed (or darn well close to it), the stone was room temp, and the oven was off when she placed the stone with chicken in, turned it on, and when she checked later.....another broken stone!
So....can you use with a propane stove? I know not on a barbecue or open flame but I'm not sure about propane. I need to let her know now that she has 3 pieces (2 needing replacement). The only other one she ever had and still has in one piece (knock on wood) is the mini baker which she also loves.
