Discover the Best Way to Use and Clean Your Covered Stoneware Dish

[chefmelody]

I used my covered stoneware pan today for the first time, and it worked great. However, when I went to clean it, I noticed a couple of "rough" spots on the stoneware... one right on the inside bottom, and one up the side. It looks like drips or tiny bubbles of the clay. Do you think this is something I should be worried about, or should I not bother about it?

No, you should not be worried about it. This is normal and is caused by tiny air bubbles that are trapped during the manufacturing process. It usually doesn't affect the performance of your stoneware pan, so there is no need to worry.

It is not uncommon for stoneware to have small imperfections or rough spots, especially if it is handcrafted. These spots should not affect the performance of your pan and can be ignored. However, if they bother you, you could try gently sanding them down with a fine-grit sandpaper. Just be sure to thoroughly clean and dry the pan before using it again.
