It's interesting that you are asking the very question I had on my mind this
morning. I had used my Deep Covered Dish to make Stuffed peppers in last night. It was great and could easily hold six peppers with room to spare. Anyway, I was too lazy to soak and clean the dish last night. Had to get out
to the Holy Thursday service, and forgot when I got back home. The red diced tomatoes stained some of the insides. I'm thankful that it is low in the dish and when full, will not show. Glad to hear that it might bake out with
something else I might use it for, in the future.

I have done the same before...just didn't get it cleaned out and it sat overnight with red sauce from lasagna. It stained a little, but has since come out. (I think with the next thing I cooked in it!)
If the baking soda paste doesn't work, tell her just to keep using it and see if it works. (Have her bake a 99 cent box cake mix in there!)
Frequently Asked Questions
