Do I Need 2 Large Bar Pans? The Pros and Cons of Owning Multiple Pans

[northern_sunshine]

I had a Lg Bar Pan from before I became a consultant (Christmas gift from my mom, she loves me). So of course I got one with my kit and I've kept it in the box.

I'm dying to use it. I use my Lg bar pan so much, I think having another one would be wonderful.

But I also think of all the other things I could do with it. Do a raffle for it. give it as a gift to a friend or family member....

Do I really need 2 lg bar pans?

i have 3!!! lol

I have 3 and couldn't live without all of them!

There are only 2 of us at my house, and that's my most-used stone!

Absolutely USE IT!!!

What you could do, is use the kit one only for shows, that way it doesn't get dark as fast. Seeing the dark stone sometimes turns customers off, even when you explain that "the worse it looks, the better it cooks."

I agree with Ann...
Plus, if you like to entertain (or just make large batches of cookies), it is nice to have more than one pan.
Think about it this way... how many people have 3 or 4 metal cookie sheets... if you have this many metal cookie sheets, why wouldn't you have that many stones?

My medium stone is used most often & I have 2 of those now. Absolutely just use it! Then you can have one for your shows & one for home.

i was thinking the same thing--I have like 2 or 3 metal cookie sheets, 2 metal pizza pans... so why not have 2 bar pans and chuck the other stuff? I use my bar pan all the time, just made cookies on it this afternoon and will probably use it to heat dinner. When I made my cookies, I had the bar pan, the med. bar pan, and the round stone all going, so if your oven fits two bar pans better then go for it.

Use it! You can have one to take to shows and one that doesn't leave your kitchen.

I have 2 in use, I love this stone. I wouldn't give it up, funny thing is my DH wouldn't let me either! He loves this stuff more than me sometimes....

 

[lauraP2000]

I agree- the more stones, the better! But I'm running out of places to store them. Anybody got any neat tips?

The stoneware storage rack from a while back if you could find anyone willing to part with one. I know one person who had a handy husband who added lots of shelves (spaced about 2 inches apart) inside a cabinet to hold all her flat stones. That worked well.

My kitchen is itty bitty, so I have to stack mine. I got the rubbery shelf liner and cut to size and put those inbetween. No problems at all - plenty of padding. hth!

 

[Stampaholic1961]

I have 2 or 3 bar pans, 3 rectangular bakers, 2 large round stones!!!

My hubby took dowel rods & put them in between the shelfs of my microwave cart so I can stand my stones on end & not have to stack them. It's kind of like the stoneware storage racks only on a bigger scale. He put them at different widths so I could store different items. It's great but now I need him to do the same thing with another cabinet since the first one is full!!

Yes you do!!! You can roast twice as many vegetables with 2! I love having 2. Also reassures me that now I have 2 well-seasoned bar pans in case, G-d forbid, one breaks! lol.

My sister’s favorite stone is the Bar Pan and about a year ago she chipped the corner. She got a new one, but still uses the old one because it's so well seasoned. Starting over seasoning a new stone is just no fun.
