cmdtrgd said:Soap does NOT sanitize!!! If it did, then sanitizer would not need to be used in professional kitchens. What soap does is adhere to oil and help break it up. As long as she uses the hottest water possible, that will sanitize the stone.
chefann said:I've got a letter by a microbiologist that says the same thing. (There's probably a copy in the files here.) Soap acts as a surfactant, something that loosens particles from the surface, as well as a degreasing agent. It is the hot water that actually kills bacteria.
ragschef said:If you can cross sell the easy clean kitchen brush with her stones, then she can get the water hotter than she can stand it. I like to tell people at my show that the only reasons we use soap is to cut grease -- not to clean-- and the top reason we use soap is for our own conscience's sake! You can also tell her that she CAN use soap on it, if it makes her feel better about using them for her kids. Since our stones are made from a nonporous clay, it won't absorb or transfer the flavor of the soap to your food. It just won't season the stones.

beccaod said:I used olive oil on my first LRS and it "absorbed or kept" the oil after washing it. Then the oil went rancid and my stone smelled bad and it transferred to the food, even stunk up the house when I used it. I was not a consultant then. My PC lady told me about the baking soda paste. I used it twice and it helped a lot! The rancid smell seemed to get less and I used my stone until it broke! I have the new handled LRS and love it, no problems.
I always wondered why the olive oil did that, I know it's an unstable type of oil, but never expected it to almost ruin a baking stone!
