Pros

The Pampered Chef Small Bar Pan is a piece of stoneware that is extremely versatile. It measures 8 3/4 " x 6 1/2" and fits in almost all toaster ovens and easily stores inside. Being small and rectangular in shape, it is perfect for heating smaller portions of chicken nuggets, French fries, fish sticks, mini pizzas and any other frozen appetizer. I also use it for the extra cookie dough left in the bowl when I am baking.

Stoneware is one of the best surfaces to cook food. The positive attributes of the Pampered Chef small bar pan or any piece of Pampered Chef stoneware are:

Evenly distributes heat and draws moisture away from the
surface

Retains heat, so your just-out-of-the-oven foods stay hot longer

No presoaking needed before use

Virtually nonporous, so it doesn't retain oils, odors or flavors

Microwave-, freezer-, and conventional and convection
oven-safe

If you are attending a Pampered Chef show for the first time and are unsure about spending over thirty dollars for your very first stone, then the small bar pan makes a great first time investment. It is perfect for singles, couples, and college students.

At only seventeen dollars, it fits into many people's budgets. There are times when stoneware goes on sale, typically in January. If you do not know a Pampered Chef consultant you can find one at the Pampered Chef website.

Cons

The Pampered Chef small bar pan, like any other Pampered Chef stoneware, gets ugly with use. While the catalog picture is clean and pristine, after use it gets dark brown to black in color. While it is great for cooking, it is not pretty enough to use for serving.

Full Review

The Pampered Chef small bar pan is a great first time stoneware investment, as well as a complimentary piece to your own stoneware collection. The price makes it a great gift for bridal showers and housewarming gifts. You can order it at a Pampered Chef show or online at the Pampered Chef website.

In Closing

I personally use my Pampered Chef small bar pan each and every day and would have to replace it if it ever broke. Besides frozen goodies, I can easily fit four chicken breasts on it and use it to reheat items as well. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to learn about the benefits of cooking with stoneware.
