esavvymom said:And I read somewhere that the soap isn't absorbed into the stone, but that it "sticks" to the fats/oils that are seasoned onto the pan, and that is why we taste it. I also read that the baking soda-paste concoction could help eliminate that (haven't tried it).

junkfortara said:I'm confused why we say that it can't be washed with soap because it will absorb the taste of soap. Don't we also claim that the nonporous surface doesn't absorb flavors?! I understand that we say no soap because it breaks down the natural non-stick finish.. but we claim that it does not absorb oils or flavors from cooking, so how can we say it absorbs the soap taste??

Our knives aren't supposed to go in the dishwasher- according to the U&G...but no one reads those except me. They say not to put them in there so they don't clank around against things and get damaged/dulled.jackieblue said:I won't put sharp knives in the dishwasher either, but I am a freak like that.

Kitchen Diva said:I agree. My step-sister told me they were difficult to clean. I asked her which one she had, and she said, the flat rectangle one with no sides.
seriously? Um, I can wash that turkey in 30 seconds!
Drives me nuts how lazy people can be.
chefann said:We do have a brush - the Easy Clean Kitchen Brush is a godsend for cleaning stones! And it even has a scraper built in. I've got one that came in my kit nearly 8 years ago, and it still looks like new. So it's not only a useful tool, it's a durable one.

I have a friend who runs everything through the dishwasher after she washes it by hand because the heat sterilizes the dishes. So for some people, it's not being lazy. They believe they are keeping their family healthier, which I completely respect.Christ Follower said:Because they are lazy. (My mother is one of those people...she admits it herself). Just as long as they know not to come crying to you when the item breaks or doesn't work properly anymore.
Yes, our stoneware is dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand-washing for best results and longevity of your stoneware.
While our stoneware is dishwasher safe, the harsh detergents and high heat of the dishwasher can cause fading and cracking over time. We recommend hand-washing to keep your stoneware looking its best.
We recommend using warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush to clean your stoneware. For tougher stains, you can use a baking soda and water paste or a mild abrasive cleaner. Avoid using metal utensils on your stoneware to prevent scratches.
Stoneware is made from natural clay and is fired at a high temperature, making it extremely durable and able to withstand high heat. It also has a natural non-stick surface, making it great for baking and easy to clean.
Yes, our stoneware is microwave safe. However, we recommend avoiding sudden temperature changes, such as taking stoneware from the freezer and placing it directly in the microwave, as this can cause cracking.
