Susan, I think I know which recipe you are thinking of...the sunshine cake maybe?? I made this in a silicone fluted thing much like the PC one, but of course, silicone. It worked pretty well just two things I didn't like, 1: the silicone fluted pan is a pain in the butt to clean and 2: the recipe wasn't all that sweet so I would have added some sugar to the sour cream. It is good though and you will love it! My grandma has the fluted stone and I sent her this recipe to make for my grandpa and he LOVES it in the morning with some whipped cream and his cup o'joe as he says. Have fun and good luck!

ThanksYes, you can definitely use another stone to practice making a microwave cake. The key is to make sure the stone is microwave-safe and can withstand high temperatures. You can also adjust the cooking time and temperature according to the instructions of your microwave cake recipe. Happy baking!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fluted stone, and how is it used in cooking?
A fluted stone is a type of bakeware made from natural stone that features a fluted design, which helps to create beautifully shaped baked goods. It is often used for baking cakes, quiches, and other dishes that benefit from even heat distribution and moisture retention. The fluted edges also add an attractive presentation to your dishes.
Can I use fluted stoneware for recipes other than baking?
Yes, fluted stoneware can be used for a variety of cooking methods beyond baking. It is suitable for roasting vegetables, cooking casseroles, and even for serving cold dishes like salads or desserts. Just be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for temperature limits and care instructions.
Are there specific recipes that work best with fluted stoneware?
Fluted stoneware is particularly well-suited for recipes that require even cooking and browning, such as cheesecakes, quiches, and savory tarts. Recipes that benefit from a crispy crust, like pizza or bread, also work wonderfully in fluted stoneware due to its heat retention properties.
How do I care for my fluted stoneware after using it?
To care for your fluted stoneware, allow it to cool completely before washing. Avoid using soap, as it can absorb into the stone; instead, rinse it with warm water and use a soft sponge to remove any food residue. For tough stains, a paste of baking soda and water can help. Always dry it thoroughly before storing.
Can I use metal utensils on fluted stoneware?
It is recommended to avoid using metal utensils on fluted stoneware, as they can scratch the surface and damage the non-stick properties. Instead, opt for silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to preserve the quality of your bakeware.
