I found this post on a msg board. It was a reply to someone asking how to clean the "black stuff" off of a PC stone.
Any imput? I had not heard the black was NOT good! I have a black stone and love it!
here goes....
"Okay...I called my Pampered Chef neighbor. She said that black is NOT good. The stone is still safe to use, but the blacker they get they loose the great stone properties that made you purchase it to begin with. A black stone is more like cooking on a piece of enamel.
She says that stones and all kitchen products get that sticky yellow build up and it is called lythecin (spelling??). It's from man made food ingrediants. To clean your stone deeply do it when you feel it getting sticky...then mix baking soda, SALT and water to a tooth paste consistancy. Let it sit on the stone and then scrub and rinse with hot water. The trick is to get them when they first get sticky.
I do it and it works great. I had to call her because I could not remember the name of the sticky stuff."
