its a good movie for kids...no bad words or anything like that (its a disney movie). i would love to own it. plus the rock has his shirt off in some of the movie...YUM-O
 
Such a cute movie my DH got it for me for my birthday last month
 
very cute movie. The boys were wishing there were more scenes on a football field
 
It Was Bound To Happen...Well dinner tonight survived, but my Large Bar Pan did not. It is over three years old. At least I think it is. I am going to check before throwing it out. It is in three pieces.

I heard the pop and then the sizzle of the hot dog juice falling to the bottom of the oven.

Totally disappointed because it is truly one of my top favorite pieces. It was well seasoned.
 
Oh bummer. That happen to me at a show. I love my bar pan and it was so dark. I had to start all over again seasoning it.
I hope you can get it replaced still.
 
My rectangle stone broke a month ago- it was about 15 years old. Don't know why??? Luckily I have another one almost as old to use.
 
That sucks Lisa!! If it happens to our customers, it's bound to happen to us! I'm so sorry!
 
I hadn't ever thought of going hot dogs....what is the method?Oh, and sorry about your stone!!!
 
Oh! I know how you feel! :cry: I had my large round stone since 1983 (they were dated) and I was devistated last year when it broke. :cry:

350 degree oven and I just keep an eye on them for time.

We love them cooked that way instead of the grill. The kids do not like them blackened on the grill. We discovered cooking them on the stone in the oven. They can get a little crisp, without the char.
 
Thanks for sharing- that's a great tip!
I have never thought of hot dogs either.
 
Don't throw out All the pieces!!!

If you have a smaller piece save it to show the inside to your customers. It shows the nonstick layer well.
