My ice bath for chicken stock was a bad idea
Last Saturday I took my stock pot straight off the stove and set it in a big plastic bin full of ice water to cool it down fast. The thermal shock cracked the bottom of my pot, and I had chicken stock all over my garage floor. It was a 12 quart pot I had used for years. Anyone else ruined a pot trying to speed up the cooling process, or do you just let it sit on the counter overnight?

Man I feel your pain on that one. My buddy did the same thing with a cast iron Dutch oven, set it straight in cold water and it cracked clean in half like a biscuit. He still brings it up when we cook together, so at least you're not alone in the regret.
