debswork said:I need some suggestions on cleaning my stoneware. I have a bar pan and made the greek chicken right away without seasoning the darn thing and now it has black and dark brown stains from baking the fatty chicken. I would like to use the bar stone to demo at shows but embarrassed now. HELP????

That's exactly what I do!jdavis said:I like to bring my small oval to show how a new stone looks since I VERY rarely use it, then I bring out my almost black large round and tell them that is what they aspire to, lol.

These are the three stones that I make sure to take to each show to show how the stone will become seasoned. I use the black one at least 3 times a week for the same reasons as above and have had that stone for I'm guessing 10 years! It was one of the first stones I'd ever bought. I find people like how the stone will change in texture and color, and they'll 'compete' with each other of who's is the darkest and how often they use their stones!
To remove burnt-on stains from stoneware, you can create a paste using equal parts baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stained area and let it sit for 30 minutes before scrubbing it off with a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Rinse with warm water and repeat if necessary.
No, bleach should never be used on stoneware as it can damage the surface and affect the performance of the stoneware. Stick to using non-abrasive cleaners and natural solutions like vinegar and baking soda for tough stains.
To remove rust stains from stoneware, make a paste using equal parts salt and lemon juice. Apply the paste to the stained area and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing it off with a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Rinse with warm water and repeat if necessary.
No, metal utensils should not be used on stoneware as they can scratch and damage the surface. Instead, use nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils to protect the stoneware from scratches.
If the above methods do not work, you can try soaking the stoneware in hot water and dish soap for 30 minutes before scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge or brush. You can also try using a stoneware cleaner specifically designed for removing tough stains. Always avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on stoneware.
