We consider the two-phase Stefan problem $u_t=\Delta\alpha(u)$ where $\alpha(u) =u+1$ for $u<-1$, $\alpha(u) =0$ for $-1 \leq u \leq 1$, and $\alpha(u)=u-1$ for $u \geq 1$. We show that if $u$ is an $L_{l o c}^2$ distributional solution then $\alpha(u)$ has $L_{l o c}^2$ derivatives in time and space. We also show $|\alpha(u)|$ is subcaloric and conclude that $\alpha(u)$ is continuous.
