Does anyone know what the 'deep cleaning method' for Stoneware is?
I thought I remember something about baking soda paste?????


TIA - Jenna
 
Make a paste of baking soda and water and rub gently.
 
Yes - letting it soak in the paste for 10-15 minutes will help too. On a side note, another "deep cleaning" method is to put it in the dishwasher with NO soap. This will remove residue, but not the coloring.

Although I wouldn't spread this around at shows b/c some have been known to break this way and it would void out the warrantee on it.

It is not recommended to put stoneware in the dishwasher, ever. The heat changes and high pressure water can create miniscule cracks in the stone that fill with water. These cracks may then cause product failure during a subsequent use.
 
Hmmmm, I've even talked to the test kitchens about this way and they agreed about it cleaning off the residue. I suppose I understand that they do have to caution against it.
