One time a decade ago I decided I'd make flank steak for fajitas in a big cast iron skillet. Unfortunately I neglected to warm the meat up to room temp, so when I tossed the cold meat :giggity: onto the super hot pan, it cracked almost in two. I freaked out and picked up the skillet, which then leaked oil out of the crack onto the burner element, catching ALL the oil on fire and throwing me into more of a panic.

I loved that pan.
