What to do if it breaks when pulling out of oven? Purchased on Amazon?

I'm assuming you pulled it out of the oven while it was still hot? I learned this lesson the hard way also. My first pizza stone was not an Old Stone product. Needs to cool down with the oven before removal. If it breaks, about the only thing to do is throw it away and buy a new one. Heat the stone up with the oven and let it cool down to ambient temp as the oven cools.

That's just the way it is with a pizza stone. Let it go. Scrubbing it with water can harm it. If you put it in the oven while it still has moisture in it it could crack. Just wipe it off with a damp sponge and let it air dry.

There is a tool that you can use to get the blade out, it came w/the machine. I find I still have to search for the blade which tears the bread up. The instructions mention to grease the blade before putting it on the post. I DON'T do this. That way the blade will stay on the post when I tip the bread out of the pan. It is easy to remove the blade from the post after soaking in soap and water. If it still doesn't come off the post, you can twist the blade off by holding the blade and twisting it opposite directions with the silver thing on the outside of the pan on the bottom. Hope this helps. There is a tool that you can use to get the blade out, it came w/the machine. I find I still have to search for the blade which tears the bread up.

I threw mine away because it got glued to the bottom of my brand new oven the very first time I used it at less than 400 degrees !!It also left a white mark on it. My oven too has the self cleaning feature but I got the white mark off first using one of those spray on oven cleaner that can be used with a cool oven. The stain came out after the second treatment. I didn't dare to use the self cleaning feature with that stuff still glued to it. Just try and see what happens. Good luck!!

I guess you could try to contact the manufacturer, but I doubt it. How'd you manage that anyway? For future reference, I put it in the basket where the utensils go.

Stand on the material (strands) then pull the handle up until it releases. I have already broken one because I did not do it correctly. Good luck!

Just pull HARD! I thought I was missing part of the instructions, because the handle would not easily open and had to google this myself. Just pull HARD. It won't break, but you think it's going to.

I tried to purchase replacement parts as well, to no avail. I ended up just purchasing another entire unit which only lasted 11 months. I do not believe the product is meant to last long term. I gave up and bought a toaster/broiler oven.

at some point with enough forceful torque, the glass will break. Then follow the previous advice.turn off power and extract with needle nose pliers

What did you do that it broke? I have mine on my keychain & usually gets smacked around a lot. Do you have a receipt for it? Bring it back to the store (or send it back it should not break) If that's no a possibility you may need to weld it together

just put a dab of silicone on the end. i really don;t thnk you will find parts available,the item is cheap and replacement parts are probably not available.

I would send it back to Amazon or whichever retailer. Call them first and explain the problem. Most small appliances have at least 90 day warranty. You will need a return authorization number "RA #". Write that on the box. They should replace the entire pan free.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune with the grill pan. I've been using mine in our RV for months and its always performed well with no breakage. I've seen nylon screws at Lowes and Home Depot in their specialty bins which might help. The plastic screw would have to be removed to try another kind of screw. you might have some luck getting another cover at http://www.microhearth.com/contact.cfm . Have you thought about an adhesive such as Gorilla Glue or other commercial super glue types. I can't think of anything else and I checked my pan and the handle does move but I will try be careful with mine until it breaks. Sorry to hear about your misfortune with the grill pan.

You don't return it to Amazon. Contact Calphalon and they should be more than happy to ship you replacement parts. : )

Don't know about oven use...my lid exploded while it was cooking on the countertop.
