SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that baking stones can withstand below-freezing temperatures without cracking, provided they are not subjected to sudden temperature changes. Users recommend avoiding direct transitions from cold to hot environments, such as placing them in a hot oven immediately after being in the cold.

Iam moving my house sold in two days on the market ! I have to be out by December 19 th ! Great two kids in tow should be interesting !! Anyways my new house will not be ready untill January , so i took a week by week rental furnished until my house is ready , iam only bring a few stones with me the ones i use daily the others , mini fluted , muffin pan ect i will put in storage. I am in massachusetts it is cold up here will my stones be ok in below freezing weather ??? Will they crack ??? Should i be safe and pack all 18 with me ???
 
I have frozen food in mine before, so I would assume that they would be ok. I suppose I would call HO before I tried to take them all with me, since they aren't so easy to store in small spaces.
 
?The stones are fine in below freezing weather. Just don't take them from the cold and put them in a hot oven. Let them warm up slowly. The stones will be fine in the cold.thanks for the info !I would still be cautious with the stones in the cold. Being in a car, they will probably have some temperature changes which could cause them to crack. I would suggest putting them in a cooler with some blankets or something around them to keep them from getting too cold.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my Pampered Chef stones crack in below freezing temperatures during my move?

Yes, Pampered Chef stones can crack if exposed to extreme temperature changes, including below freezing temperatures. It's best to keep them at a stable temperature during your move.

How should I pack my Pampered Chef stones for a move in cold weather?

To protect your stones, wrap them in bubble wrap or towels for insulation and place them in a sturdy box. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them to prevent pressure and potential cracking.
