I did this exact same thing in an attempt to make steam in my oven for bread … then I started using a cast iron skillet, which made my skillet all rusty. Now I use a small sheet pan that has edges so the ice doesn’t escape- that seems to be the best solution!

I poured hot coffee into a glass pitcher once, and I still remember that feeling. It must have been that much worse inside the oven! To this day, what boggles me about what I did was that I know you can’t pour hot things into cool glass or cool things into hot glass, but never once did it occur to me I shouldn’t put the coffee in there. I still have no idea why not. It was like my brain was on vacation.

James Beard ( I believe) suggested a water filled spray bottle and spritzing inside the oven (onto the coils)every few min for the first 15 min the loaves are in.
