A baking soda paste works well on this. Let is set for an hour or so then use your scraper on it with HOT water.

Grandmarita said:It's interesting that you are asking the very question I had on my mind this
morning. I had used my Deep Covered Dish to make Stuffed peppers in last night. It was great and could easily hold six peppers with room to spare. Anyway, I was too lazy to soak and clean the dish last night. Had to get out
to the Holy Thursday service, and forgot when I got back home. The red diced tomatoes stained some of the insides. I'm thankful that it is low in the dish and when full, will not show. Glad to hear that it might bake out with
something else I might use it for, in the future.
Stoneware stains are discolorations that can appear on the surface of stoneware cookware. They are caused by the natural absorption of oils and food particles into the porous surface of the stoneware.
To prevent stoneware stains, make sure to properly season your stoneware before use by rubbing it with oil and baking it in the oven. Avoid using metal utensils, as they can scratch the surface and make it more prone to staining. Also, try to avoid cooking acidic or strongly colored foods in your stoneware.
Yes, stoneware stains can be removed. You can try using a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste and gently scrubbing the stained area. You can also try soaking the stoneware in a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water for a few hours before scrubbing. If the stains are particularly stubborn, you can also use a commercial stoneware cleaner.
No, stoneware stains are not harmful. They are purely cosmetic and do not affect the performance or safety of the stoneware. However, if you are concerned about the appearance of your stoneware, you can follow the steps mentioned above to remove the stains.
While it is normal for stoneware to develop stains over time, there are some steps you can take to prevent them altogether. These include properly seasoning your stoneware, using non-metal utensils, and avoiding cooking acidic or strongly colored foods. Regular cleaning and maintenance can also help prevent the buildup of stains on your stoneware.
