I have a friend who is about ready to close her show and she was wondering if she could sand the bottom of her stoneware down. She just spent 10,000 on a brand new kitchen and her mini loaf pan scrached her counter. She loves the stoneware but she is now leary to get it due to being afraid of it being rough on the bottom. I have emailed the test kitchens but haent gotten an answer yet
 
I imagine she could try, but I don't know that it would do any good. Stoneware is a type of ceramic, and that's what's used to file other things down. It's pretty hard stuff.Sell her a couple of hot pad/trivets to protect her counters. :)
 
I use my cooling rack. It's great when my stones come out of the oven.
 
Yes, I have used sandpaper. I had a chip out of my muffin pan and sanded down the edge so that it wasn't sharp!
 
It's too late for my counter tops, but I would, in the future, always put a dish towel underneath my stones when preparing recipes. That is what I do at shows.
 
You can use the silicon hot pad also. I put that down on my corian countertops and set my stones on it. It prevents slipping around as well as protects from the heat.
