Can You Save a Deep Covered Baker After Using Magic Eraser?

[Careyann]

oI just got an email from a customer that her MIL well intentioned husband used magic eraser to clean her deep covered baker, she has soaked it for two days. Any one know if there is a way to get the chemicals out? If she lets it dry do you think it will be okay?

Any help is appreciated!!!!

She can try lining it with some really cheap, greasy biscuits and baking them. Then re-wash in hot soapy water with baking soda. It might take 2-3 times, tho.

Or contact HO and see what they recommend. YIKES!

While I'm it happened, I have to say I'm impressed that the husband made such attempts to clean something!

That's what I was wondering!! I left a message for the test kitchen, I will come back and post what they say she should do.

There's no chemicals in the Magic Erasers, at least that's my understanding, I haven't used them in a long time.

But I think I'd recommend the baking soda paste.

Actually, I've read horror stories where kids (not with uncaring parents, just with parents who didn't know what would happen) have used magic erasers on their hands/arms and gotten chemical burns. I don't know that I would trust that baker until HO told me what to do.

My toddler ate a Magic Eraser once and poison control told me not to worry about it. So I don't think it is that dangerous.

Those are friction burns caused by the ME, not chemicals.

Back to the DCB, you could put water in it and boil it in the microwave. Or, you could put it in the dishwasher on its RINSE cycle and you'd be good.Well after our first stone was out of warranty, it was looking kind of mottley, so I put it in the dishwasher with soap. When it came out, it was cleaner, some of the gunky oil buildup was gone, and it began to season beautifully. Don't put a 'young' stone in because it will void the warranty.I suppose you could put it in the oven on a cleaning cycle - I know it works for unglazed stones, can't imagine it would harm a glazed stone.If you're looking for a little gentler approach, do the baking soda paste thing.Let us know how it works out!
