[mombird4]

Does anyone have a trick to clean the mini loaf pan or the mini fluted pan?

I use the kitchen brush.

Mombird, just an FYI. You need to take the link to your PWS out of your signature. Linking to your PWS anywhere on the internet is against PC policy. Wouldn't want you to get in trouble for that.

baking soda paste (BS & Water)and the Kitchen brush. If you do not have the kitchen brush a nylon scrubbie will work. Do not use the scotch or 3m green ones. they will shred and turn the stone green (at least it did mine).

I've been working on one for a customer - baking soad and the nylon scraper have been working.

Any suggestions on how to make it easier to start with? This on from a customers looks and feels like it was sprayed with cooking spray. The customer says meatloaf sticks in this pan ...

Cooking spray will build up on this pan. Not so much in the wells, because it comes out with the food, but on the top, it can be horrific. I need to deep-clean the top of mine, but I've heard that making a baking soda paste and letting it sit until it dries will work wonders on built up cooking spray. Can anyone verify this?

If her meatloaf sticks then she needs to either season the pan a little, or she's using REALLY low fat meat for her loaves. Meatloaf is what I usually suggest to season this one.

Well, that's what I thought ...

To season I am thinking of using Crisco solid and salt. Does that sound right? Bake it on or just leave it sit? I want to season it before I give it back to her.

I wipe the top of my stone before I put it in the oven and that helps with the build up on top.

I have used Bar Keepers Friend on the really stubborn build up

 

[Teresa Lynn]

I only use bakers joy on all my stones and easy cleanup is the dishwasher EVERY time!!
And by the way, I KNOW it's a NO-NO but it works, I haven't ever tasted a bad after taste and I DON'T share that at my shows!!

It was really strange - their build up was on the INSIDE of the wells - one was *really* bad. I wondered if they had only cooked three of something (she says they ONLY cook meatloaf in it, but one has to wonder) and had sprayed all four.

I seasoned it last night with Scott's recipe. That baby is smmooooth now If their meatloaf sticks after this, I don't want to eat at their house on meatloaf night ....

I tried the Kitchen Brush, Baking Soda and it helped. This is my sister-in-laws and she said she did spray it. One well looked half way deceint and she had put water in that one to ensure even baking. So I left the baking soda in added water a cooked for about 45 min. It's looking better. I will try the Crisco and salt when I'm done. I told her no more spray. Thanks all!
