Broken Pot

So here I was making J-ello a little bit ago, and I thought it would be a good idea to use my cute, yellow stoneware casserole dish. I poured in the hot water and there was a loud pop, which I thought was quite odd. Then I carried the dish over to the counter, no problems, to pour in the cold water. I then began to pick up the dish, at which point, the entire bottom came right off! J-ello went everywhere: all over the floor, onto the stove, in the sink, around the sink, dripping down the wall...EVERYWHERE! For your viewing pleasure, I have taken a picture of the broken casserole dish and warn you that ceramic is not a good option to make J-ello in. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures of the J-ello everywhere, sorry!
