I am a PC dealer, and if you preheat a stone, then put something cool on it - you get a broken stone. Even it the dough was warm, it was nowhere near the 450 degrees the stone was heated to. It does have a 3 year warranty, so if it is less than 3 years old, you can get it replaced. If you need a new one, let me know and I'd be happy to help...just PM me!

Bo -

If you don't know where the PC Receipt is, have her call the PC consultant who had the party (or call the girlfriend who had the party, and get the name/number) The PC consultant may very well have a copy of the receipt/order on file, and then you can use that to send it in to PC for a replacement.

My girlfriend was a PC consultant for YEARS, and my kitchen looks like the catalog warehouse.

I had one stone crack after only a year, and I have the other stone that was bought in the same order, 11 YEARS AGO, that is still going strong.

Sometimes there can be a small airbubble or fault in the stone that is invisible to the eye, but reacts under heat stress. It happens, PC knows it does, and that is why they guarantee their product. No sense making the few people that have a broken stone angry when so many more love their stones like their own children (or, if you have teenagers, maybe MORE than your children!

)

p.s. on a funny side note, My friend had a huge tow-behind camper and they rolled it on the freeway (everyone was fine). The camper DESINTIGRATED by the time it stopped rolling, and they had stuff scattered for 1/4 mile on the freeway median. As we were sorting through the wreckage waiting for the semi flatbed towtruck, we found the pocket of kitchen stuff. Every single PC stone except 1 survived intact! (she had 6 or 7 on the trip) Glasses were shattered, plates were shattered, but the stones were fine!

p.s.s. If I had a husband that baked fresh bread while I was at work, I would forgive a lot more than a broken stone!!!

If she throws you out, you can come here.

I love spaghetti.

If she throws you out and you don't like Indiana, you can mosey up to Wisconsin!

I received a pizza stone for my b-day, PC brand, and I have been kinda scared to use it even though I have read the instructions. Now I'm really worried about using it!

I was born in Lakeville, Indiana. Raised down here in Arkansas since I was about 5yrs old though. Still have some family in and around South Bend.

Don't be afraid of it - become one with the stone. treat it well and it won't blow up on you....

We have used our stones for pizza many times without any issues. I guess it was the fact that I preheated the stone per the recipie directions. Next time I will not preheat and I think all will be ok.

Please don't feel bad. I had a Pyrex glass dishex completely EXPLODE in the oven. I mean all that was left of it was a little piece that the vertical roaster was sitting on. Shards of glass all in the chicken and everything. At least yours was just in half!
