Silly stir bar question

So I am using my new stir plate for the first time, and I am wondering what is going to happen to that little 1" stir bar when I attempt to pitch the yeast out of the flask.

I think the starter will probably have completed by the time I am ready to brew, so I will cold crash it and pour off the starter beer before pitching the slurry, but I am guessing the bar will just be carried along with it.

Could I use a magnet on the bottom of the flask to keep it there or something?

Use a magnet. I use mine to drag the bar out of the beer before I decant.

This, plus if you forget and drop the bar into your fermenter you can still use a magnet to pull it out.

Thanks - sounds like a plan!
