Can Stoneware Turn Black Under the Broiler?

[letscook04]

Gotta love emails from customers:
My stone wear dish accidently was under the broiler while we were heating the oven up to do garlic bread. Well it is black in color. Does this mean it is ruined?

Has anyone had this happened before turning black in color?

My large round stone is very black....I've left it in the oven more than once when preheating.

She is actually very fortunate that it didn't break - stonewear is not broiler safe!

I have one that is black from cheese gooing all over it.

Can she still use it?

She can still use it, but tell her to beware it may crack! I had this happen to me. I forgot the rule of not putting it under the broiler and would often do this to make my french fries extra crispy, One day my husband took it out of the oven and the corner came off in his hand. The day it broke we were not using it under the broiler either! He was afraid to tell me that it broke and when he did, it fianlly clicked that you are not to use the stones under the broiler.

Lesson well learned!

I have a host that uses PAM on her stone, and uses soap, and hers is pitch black... and sticky...and spooky looking.

I would say she needs to just be careful with it...it may or may not crack during use sometime in the future! My small round stone was sitting on top of my stove and it got very hot where the oven vents....it turned the edge a very dark black color too. It has worn off slightly, but I can still tell where it was.

I would just tell her to be very careful.
