Hi All!!!! Anyone have any suggestions for removing red sauce stains from stoneware. One of my customers is asking and I have never had this happen. I am a little confused as I thought that the stoneware wouldn't stain.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
Maybe suggesting the baking soda paste over night and see if that gets it off?

I did and she tried that. It didn't work.
 
Mine stained once but it washed out the next time I baked something else in it.
 
Hmmmm. That's why I like the glazed stoneware so the only stains are on the inside where food is covering it up. All my stones look pretty yucky but with food in it, who cares? (Sorry I couldn't help.)
 
it will fade as she continues to use it. No biggie.
 
Does any one have a tip on getting out a sticky substance under a stone. My mother is having problems with this.

Thanks, Tina

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. :)

Same here. When I cook in it again, the stain comes out. It happens to me everytime I make lasagna.
 
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.

I have done the same before...just didn't get it cleaned out and it sat overnight with red sauce from lasagna. It stained a little, but has since come out. (I think with the next thing I cooked in it!)

If the baking soda paste doesn't work, tell her just to keep using it and see if it works. (Have her bake a 99 cent box cake mix in there!)
