Everyone makes mistakes, it's all part of being human. Sometimes they turn out to be a good thing, like the restaurant mishap that led to Texas toast or the mix-up that brought Chick-fil-A sauce into the world. Other times, accidents can lead to prevention, such as critical safety rules when attempting a flambé. Stuff just happens, but there's always a way to manage it.

But another consideration is: Do you need it? Is this something that you'd use, or would it end up collecting dust in your cupboard or tossed in the bin? Costco pizza pans are perforated and measure 18 inches in diameter, a size most standard home ovens can't accommodate. So, unless you have an unusually large oven, you might as well return the pan.

When I called and posed the hypothetical question to food court employees at the Costco in New Orleans, Louisiana, they were both highly apologetic and fervently hoped I would return the pan on my next trip.
