If using the Mini-Baker:
Spread 8 ounces of cream cheese over the bottom of the stone. Pour black bean and corn salsa (I use the Santa Fe brand) over the cream cheese until the cr. ch. is covered. Sprinkle with as much cheddar or Colby-Jack cheese as you wish and bake at 350 degrees until it is bubbling along the sides. You can also put it in the microwave. I've never timed it, but it doesn't take more than 20 minutes, and of course it will depend on the size of your stone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is glazed stoneware, and how does it differ from other types of bakeware?
Glazed stoneware is a type of ceramic bakeware that is coated with a glass-like finish, making it non-porous and easy to clean. Unlike unglazed stoneware, which can absorb moisture and flavors, glazed stoneware retains heat evenly and helps to create a crispy crust while keeping the inside moist. This makes it ideal for baking dishes like casseroles, bread, and desserts.
How do I properly season my glazed stoneware before its first use?
To season your glazed stoneware, wash it with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Then, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil or cooking spray to the surface. Place it in a cold oven, set the temperature to 350°F (175°C), and bake for about 30 minutes. This process helps to enhance the non-stick properties and prolong the life of your stoneware.
What types of dishes are best suited for glazed stoneware?
Glazed stoneware is versatile and can be used for a variety of dishes, including casseroles, lasagna, roasted vegetables, and baked desserts like brownies and cobblers. Its ability to retain heat makes it perfect for serving hot dishes directly from the oven to the table.
Can I use my glazed stoneware in the microwave and dishwasher?
Yes, most glazed stoneware is microwave and dishwasher safe, but it's essential to check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific care instructions. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing a hot dish in cold water, as this can cause cracking.
What are some tips for achieving the best results when cooking with glazed stoneware?
To achieve the best results, preheat your oven before placing the stoneware inside, as this helps with even cooking. Use parchment paper or a light coating of oil to prevent sticking, and avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the glaze. Additionally, allow the stoneware to cool before washing to prevent thermal shock.
