Can frozen stuffed shells be safely cooked on stoneware?

[pamperedchristine]

Can you cook frozen stuffed shells on stoneware? It seems maybe not, but then I have to use metal? Ack!

The last thing I want tho, is to have my stone crack.

Help!

How big?How large are the stuffed shells? If they are large, you can let them thaw a little and then cook them on your stone. You just don't want to cook dense frozen objects on your stone. But you can of course cook frozen chicken nuggets, fries etc. So it really depends on the size!

The key to cooking frozen foods on a stone is to make sure that everything is evenly spaced. Go ahead and bake the shells just make sure that they aren't all clustered in the middle of the stone.

Ahhh.. excellent! I did make them on my bar pan (I just couldn't use metal) and spaced them out, and it all worked fine.

Thanks!!

Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely help you with your question about cooking frozen stuffed shells on stoneware. While stoneware is great for cooking and baking, it is not recommended to use it for frozen dishes. The extreme temperature change from frozen to hot can cause the stoneware to crack. It is best to use metal pans or dishes when cooking frozen dishes. However, if you really want to use your stoneware, make sure to thaw the stuffed shells completely before placing them on the stoneware to cook. This will help prevent any potential cracks. Hope this helps! Happy cooking!
