I'm not sure that the move is what weakened your favorite baking dish such
that it didn't hold together upon its next use. It is my understanding that
baking and casserole dishes made of some types of material are very sensitive
to sharp temperature contrasts. For example, if you take a baking dish made of
a certain material from a 200-degrees Celsius oven and set it down on a cold
metallic surface such as a trivet, the temperature contrast can cause the dish
to crack and split and break. I've heard this can also happen inside the oven.
I have a couple of casserole slash baking dishes which I don't use very often,
but so far, I have not experienced this problem. All I can say is that if it
was a favorite item that you enjoyed using and depended on, you'll have to find
a way to replace it. Jon

Subject: [blindcooks] Dish packing etc. during moving/relocation
Not really relevant to anything specific, but, was thinking about it again
today - when we moved to new house in October last year, we used reusable
plastic packing cases, etc., and all went well, etc., but, the one thing that
didn't seem to appreciate the move was my favourite/standard oven ceramic
casserole dish, in that, the first time I tried to use it again, in the new
house, it literally cracked/split in half, and my guess would be that some or
other form of stress fracture it absorbed during move caused this, and, maybe,
during move, it would have been best to either make sure there were no other,
hard items packed with something like this, or else to just have packed it in a
form of padding/packaging, etc., but anyway?
Stay well
