Question

How do I remove the smell from burned stoneware?

Community Answer

I would recommend trying hot water and baking soda, or hot water and white vinegar. Either method shouldn't hurt, you'll just have to re-season.

Should I season a pizza stone?

Absolutely. All stoneware baking dishes, trays, and round stoneware need to be seasoned. That's what makes them wonderful to cook with.

Question

I just got a pizza stone at a thrift store. I would like to clean it before seasoning it. What should I do?

Community Answer

Use very hot water to clean it, but do not use soap. Then you can season it, and any old germs will be cooked away.

Question

I left my stoneware pan inside the oven during a cleaning cycle. Can I still use this pan or has the heat ruined it?

Community Answer

No, most residential ovens upper temperature during the clean cycle does not exceed the temperature specifications of your stoneware. Season your stoneware again and you can continue use.

Question

What do I do if my stoneware gets washed in the dishwasher?

Community Answer

Season it again and in the future don't put it in the dishwasher, just wash it in the sink with hot water and a clean non-fibrous rag. Most importantly use your stone often and create some delicious food for your family and friends.

Question

After seasoning the dish, can I bake a pie that day?

Community Answer

It is best to cook high fat items after the initial seasoning. Best results will come as the pan darkens.

Question

I sprayed my bundt pan with oil. What should I do before baking with it?

Community Answer

Season it before baking with it, according to the instructions above. It states that spraying it with an aerosol non stick spray is NOT recommended as it can leave the surface sticky.

Question

I seasoned my pizza stone and large stone bowl as recommended, and both are now sticky and unusable. What went wrong, and how do I fix them?

Community Answer

You need to wash it using hot water and a little soap, then season again. This time use less oil. If you use excess oil when seasoning stoneware or cast iron, it will result in "sticky" pans.

The lid on my baker rocks back and forth. It does not fit evenly. Is this normal?

Pam Mitchell

Community Answer

No, it is not normal for the lid to rock back and forth on your baker and fit unevenly. You should exchange it.

Question

What happens if you don't season the pan correctly the first time I use it? Can I do it at a later time, or does that ruin the material?

Community Answer

No, it does not ruin the material. As long as you thoroughly wash it with a hard bristled brush or sponge, it will be okay. Then season it.

Question

Can I use olive oil to season rather than vegetable oil?

Community Answer

Yes, you can! But only use a little; the flavor is quite strong, but a lovely alternative.

I was given a roaster and a round clay pot. I did not get a lid with them. Can I use foil over the pan when using?

Question

What's the best way to remove darkened edges from a pizza stone?

Pam Mitchell

Community Answer

You should not remove the darkened edges from a pizza stone. Just scrape off the pizza stone with a plastic scraper or wooden spoon. The darkened part is helpful in the cooking process.

Question

Have you washed your bundt pan with soap?

Larry Hawley

Community Answer

I have washed my bar pan with soap when any sticky residue seems to be forming in the corners. I use a vinyl scraper first and then a firm scrub brush with a little soap. I don't use as much as if I were washing dishes normally, though. A little dab is all it needs. Then rinse thoroughly and re-season if necessary.

Question

What if I don't season it?

Larry Hawley

Community Answer

Your stoneware will take on seasoning naturally over time. There no rule saying you have to season. Our first bar pan was seasoned with use over time and it has an amazing non-stick coating on it now.

Question

I got a deep rectangle baking dish at a thrift store. It looked awful. I scrubbed it with baking soda paste. It now looks brand new. What should I do before using it as I also want it safe?

Community Answer

Wash it with detergent and bake it just by itself the first time. Baking soda helps obliterate gems, and so that will defiantly would have helped. Sounds like you've done a good job cleaning it already though.

Question

How do I season a stone cookie sheet?

Community Answer

Start cooking on it with something like crescent rolls, or something else that has a high fat content. The grease from the high fat foods will season the sheet for you, as well as providing a tasty treat at the end! Be sure to wash the sheet before baking.

Question

Is it okay to bake only 4 muffins in a 6-muffin stoneware pan? What should I do with the other two muffin holes?

Community Answer

It is okay but the unfilled holes can sometimes cause uneven baking to occur, so it can be helpful to pour a little water into the unused holes.

Question

This is the second time I have cooked with my 9 x 12 stoneware and both times the food had a funny taste. They were apple slices and blueberry coffee cake. I'm ready to toss the dish. What can I do?

Community Answer

Have you washed it with soap? Most forums say to never use soap on stoneware because the soap taste will pull through.
