Should be the same as other stones. Here's the PIG for mini-loaf pan

Safeguards [return to top]
Hot Stoneware can cause burns if handled improperly. Always use a heat-resistant oven mitt or pad when handling hot Stoneware or placing on surfaces.
Stoneware may scratch surfaces if moved or dragged. To protect surfaces, use protective barrier between Stoneware and surface.
Avoid extreme temperature changes. Always allow Stoneware to cool to room temperature prior to adding liquid or cleaning. Do not use chipped or damaged Stoneware.
Do not use Stoneware under broiler or on direct heat source.
Stoneware can break if bumped or dropped. If this occurs, use caution as broken pieces can be sharp and could cause injury.
Stoneware should not touch the sides of the oven or oven door when closed.

Proper Care of Your Stoneware
Stoneware is a natural clay product that requires some special care. To properly care for your Stoneware, follow these simple practices:
Avoid dropping or exposure to extreme temperature changes.
Do not add liquid to Stoneware after it has been heated. Always allow Stoneware to cool to room temperature prior to adding liquid or cleaning.
When removing Stoneware from freezer, allow Stoneware, and frozen foods in Stoneware, to thaw completely in refrigerator prior to placing in a preheated oven.
Do not use Stoneware under the broiler or on top of a direct heat source.
Thaw dense frozen foods prior to baking in Stoneware. These items include, but are not limited to, frozen bread dough or frozen quick bread batter.
Do not place any other pan or rack on top of or in Stoneware to bake.
Divide food evenly between each well. Avoid clustering foods in or on one side.
Fill all wells with batter or dough if possible.
Preparing Stoneware
Wash prior to first use (see “How to Clean”).
To season your Stoneware, lightly spray the interior surface with vegetable oil spray and/or bake high fat foods (e.g., quick bread, meat loaf) for the first several bakings. After these bakings, your Stoneware will begin to season and greasing may not be required.
Baking With Stoneware
For optimal baking results of quick bread batters, fill each mini loaf well with approximately 1 cup of batter.
Choose foods/recipes that closely match the size of your Stoneware piece.
Stoneware is freezer-safe. Allow frozen foods in the Stoneware to completely thaw in the refrigerator prior to baking. Foods refrigerated in Stoneware can be placed directly in a preheated oven.
Stoneware is microwave-safe. Note, foods may not become crisp or brown when cooked in Stoneware in a microwave oven.
Stoneware is convection oven-safe. When baking in a convection oven, reduce the oven temperature and baking time by the amount specified in the oven?s manual. Convection ovens have a built-in fan that forces hot air throughout the oven resulting in faster baking times. If you find that foods are getting too brown, try lightly covering the surface of the food with aluminum foil for a portion of the baking time.
Uses for Your Stoneware
The Mini Loaf Pan has four wells, each with a capacity of approximately 1 1/2 cups. Your Stoneware is perfect for baking:
Yeast breads
Pull-apart breads
Quick breads
Meat Loaf


How to Clean [return to top]
Hand wash in clear, hot water; rinse and dry thoroughly before storing. NOTE: as soap can flavor foods that are baked in Stoneware, it is important that you do not use soap or detergents to clean your Stoneware or wash in an automatic dishwasher using dishwasher detergent. Follow these steps for general and deep cleaning.
General Cleaning
Allow Stoneware to cool to room temperature before cleaning.
Soak Stoneware in clear, hot water to loosen baked-on foods.
Scrape off excess food using the Nylon Pan Scraper (provided with Stoneware).
Deep Cleaning
Prepare a baking soda paste by mixing 1/2 cup baking soda with 3 tablespoons water.
Apply baking soda paste to desired areas and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Scrape off excess paste using the Nylon Pan Scraper or the Round Kitchen Brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly before storing.
