I sat it on the stove when I got it out of the oven and turned the wrong burner on. I did not realize until I smelled something horrible and realized it was my pan. When I removed it and put it on a cool burner it cracked into 4 or 5 pieces.:eek:

I warn people to be careful about this all the time.

Thankfully PC is amazing.:D I did an online adjustment to get it replaced and just have to mail back a piece of it. Now I just have to get my new one good and seasoned when it gets here.
 
My Bar pan busted when I slid it into my show to go tote bag. It hit the bottom of it which was close to my tile floor and shattered it! I was so sad as it was so well seasoned and had to start over. I think I've had it about a year now and it still isn't seasoned the way I want it yet. I'm sorry yours busted.

That's the only part that SUCKS! I was upset when I broke mine a couple of years ago, for the same reason! Starting from scratch!:eek:
 
Do LOTS of bacon on it! That will season it pretty quickly!

Ahhhhhh Jennifer...I did the same thing!! But mine was old...way past 3 years. I was devastated! It was the third stone I had lost in a month...it was the month we moved to NC. A small Oval Baker unrolled right out of packing paper, the Bar Pan on the stove and lastly...I drop my Cranberry Oval Baker that I had hand carried! Well it actually slipped off the top of my crate (I had filled one of the crates with essential cooking stuff). It was a real bummer!
 
Jen I did the same thing with the first bar pan I ever owned. I seem to break them as soon as I get them well seasoned. Glad you were able to get it replaced.
 
my son did the same thing to my bar pan... except he laid it on a towl on the counter, and didn't realize the towl was wet. made a nice popping sound when it cracked.. I'm glad it was the newest one I had vice one of my older older ones.
 
Oh what a bummer, so sorry to hear that Jen! :(
 
Sorry about your pan, my mom gave me her large round stone that she bought 4 years ago and never took out of the box, 1st time I used it it broke and since it was 4 years agao and she didn't remember who she bought it from or knew where her reciept was I was SOL. I have 3 other round stones, but not the large one. I have had stones since college and have never broken, this was a first time for me.

Exactly! Works perfectly and is the quickest way I know. I've got 3 large bar pans that are all black and I've only had the oldest one 3 years. 2 for my kitchen, one for my kit and all beautiful, beautiful, black :)
