Here is an email I just recv'd from a customer....Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the melted goo off??

"I was wondering if you could tell me about warranty on an item. I have a small bar pan that I believe is ruined (something melted on it and I cannot get the stuff off and it turned it really black)"
 
The thing that I've seen on here is to try a baking soda paste, scrubbed in, let it sit, then rinse/scrape it off....good luck!
 
I have always gotten everything off with the baking soda.
 
1. Warm it up.
2. Scrape off what you can.
3. Pour boiling water over the stuff.
4. Scrape again.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all the gunk is gone.
 
If all of the above don't work, call HO - 3 year warranty on stoneware.

Thanks guys. I will tell her. I was also thinking maybe, I didn't say this, putting the stone in the oven with the automatic cleaner on..
 
I am borrowing my mom's Large Bar Pan for a show tomorrow, since I don't have one. I went to her place to get it and she stores all of her stones in the oven - DIRTY! How terrible!!! The bar pan was all greasy and sticky so I just used baking soda and it seemed to work. I'll have to have a little chat with her about that!

Ooh -- please dont do that -- it ruined a friend of mine's stone completely. I asked HO if they would replace it and they said no -- it's considered misuse.

The oven cleaner feature is really a super heat feature to burn off all of the gunk in your oven -- it's too hot for the stones to handle.

Thanks guys...Heating it up and then scrubbing with elbow power helped.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my Small Bar Pan is burnt?

If your Small Bar Pan is burnt, the first step is to soak it in warm, soapy water for a few hours to loosen any stuck-on food. After soaking, use a non-abrasive scrubber or sponge to gently scrub the burnt areas. Avoid using steel wool or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface of the pan.

Can I use baking soda to clean a burnt Small Bar Pan?

Yes, baking soda is an effective and gentle cleaning agent. Make a paste with baking soda and water, apply it to the burnt areas of the pan, and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then, scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge and rinse thoroughly.

Is it safe to use a burnt Small Bar Pan?

While a burnt Small Bar Pan may still be safe to use, it can affect the taste of your food and may not cook evenly. It's best to clean it thoroughly before using it again, and if the damage is extensive, consider replacing it.

How can I prevent my Small Bar Pan from burning in the future?

To prevent burning, ensure that you preheat your oven properly and avoid using high temperatures for extended periods. Additionally, using enough oil or cooking spray can help prevent food from sticking and burning.

Are there any special care instructions for my Small Bar Pan?

Yes, to maintain your Small Bar Pan, avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the surface, and always hand wash it instead of using a dishwasher. Regularly seasoning the pan can also help maintain its non-stick properties and prevent burning.
