My ceramic tile exploded the first time I used it. I took the advice of lowering the temp 25 degrees. Seemed to help but still bakes unevenly. If the pan fits and doesn't touch the element, I place the pan on the bottom of the oven to brown the top, kind of like broiling. Have to watch it closely though.
Yes. Ceramic floor tiles will do that. NEVER EVER use Creamic tiles. Use instead UNglazed floor tiles. We have had a Pampered Chef pizza stone in our ovens for probably 15 years with zero problems of breakage. But if it does ever break it will get replaced with a cheap UNglazed floor tile the same week. We use our oven a lot and using a large heat sinc is the key to great cooking.
