For perfect quick seasoning for stoneware. I have been searing the threads for over an hour and still haven't found it. Anybody have it or can lead me to it? Thanks. Valky
 
here it is:

SEASONING stoneware - similar to seasoning cast iron...

1/2 cup crisco and 1/4 cup salt - (trust me, it works!) spread over
surfaces you want to be nonstick on stoneware.

Bake in a 200 degree oven 30 minutes, remove to cool. Scrub with Kitchen
Brush and hot water, not trying to remove all the oils, but just get the
salt off. Shake dry, leave out.

You're done - it's now nonstick! It works wonders for new stones.


I also emaild the test kitchen about this and here is their response:

Thank you for contacting The Pampered Chef regarding your product
question. We have not tested this method and therefore cannot comment if
this tip is successful. We would not think it would cause any harm to
the Stone, but please be cautious about using too much Crisco on a
smaller Stoneware piece. Our concern is that it would liquify and drip
in the oven, causing some smoking.
 
Is this what you are talking about?Make a mixture of equal parts shortening and flour (1 cup shortening and 1 cup flour). She stores it indefinitely in the refrigerator and when needed, she uses a paper towel to put a little on the stone.
 
I need to write this down!! But I probably won't...again!

Thanks guys, I knew someone would come to my rescue. I needed it for my BIL because he is not convinced of the beauty of stoneware yet and wants to get it seasoned FAST.

Now I can make my customer connection calls...maybe (and out comes the procrastinator) Valky
 
Finally! Found the answer to my question!(lol)

thanks :)

Rebecca:

Thanks so much! I never knew that we could do that. Will have to try it out sometime when I get some shortening. My cupboard is bare or shortening at the moment!
