Stones- Self-Rising Pizza Dough????

[pamperedberry]

I just had a customer ask me about the stoneware. She's been buying Pampered Chef for 20+ years.....and said the old stones you could not use with the self-rising pizza dough. (she just had one blow up in her oven!)

Is that still true? Or has the stoneware changed? I don't remember hearing anything about that....and checked the Connection and couldn't find it.

Anyone know anything about that?

Thanks!!

I've never heard that.

It used to be, maybe back when they were the original stones sassafras I believe was the manufacturer

I seem to remember the issue was because they are frozen and folks were putting them right on the stones into a preheated oven and asking the stone to "thaw and cook" and they are not designed for that. I think HO recommends that you let them thaw for about 20-30 minutes before placing on the stone to cook. Anyone correct me if I am wrong.

Hi there! I'm a fellow Pampered Chef consultant and I would be happy to answer your question about our stoneware. First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your customer's experience with the self-rising pizza dough. That must have been quite a surprise in the oven! To answer your question, the stoneware has not changed in the sense that it is still made from the same high-quality materials and is still safe to use in the oven. However, we have made some improvements over the years to make our stoneware even better. One of the key changes we made was to add a raised lip on the edge of our stoneware to prevent any potential spills or overflows. This should help prevent any future incidents with self-rising dough. Additionally, we always recommend following the instructions for each specific recipe and using the correct size and type of stoneware for the best results. For example, our pizza stones are specifically designed for making pizza and are not recommended for use with self-rising dough. I hope this helps to answer your question and alleviate any concerns your customer may have. Our stoneware is still a great and reliable tool for cooking and baking, and we are always striving to make improvements for our customers' satisfaction. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy cooking!
