Help! My Customer's Cookies Stick to Her Stoneware

[beepampered]

I have a customer whose cookies stick to her stoneware. She has used stones for years and they are seasoned. Crescent rolls, pizza and other items do not stick. It doesn't matter if they are hot from the oven or cooled - they stick. I told her to clean with a baking soda paste but thought someone here might have other suggestions? Thanks.....

I wish I do... Mine stick too =( And I even seasoned it before use (I'm not patient!)

Have her use parchment paper for the cookies?

She needs to remove them before they cool. The best tool is the mini serving spatula or large serving spatula for large cookies. Line up the cookie and then quickly jerk it under the spatula before moving it. If they cool on there, they become one with the stone.

Hmm, maybe that explains the problems I've had for years with stones. Thank you for the information.

no prob...I think I just make too many cookies at once and can't wait for them to cool before taking them off the stone for the next batch...maybe that's where some of the extra weight comes from...naw

I have found this too, that removing ANYTHING before the stone cools makes it a lot easier to scrape off later.

She says that she has tried taking them off as soon as they come out of the oven and they still stick. They didn't used to stick so it's something that changed.

Using parchment paper seems to be so wasteful. I mean, if I had to buy something extra in order to use my stone, I'd just use my nonstick cookware. I like stoneware, but I don't like extra work/expense.

Thanks for your thoughts and I'll tell her to take them off when HOT.

For me, the parchment paper makes using stoneware EASIER! Before I had stones, I would line up 6 metal cookie sheets and drop the cookie dough onto it. Then I'd always have one ready for the oven. NOW, I line up the parchment paper on the counter and transfer from counter to stone using the cooling rack. Works wonderfully (OH! And for those with a small kitchen, like me, the cooling racks help make "extra counter space" if you put them over the sink!!!!)

I never thought about scooping them all out at once! I LOVE this board!!

I think the trick with cookies is to time them for 3 minutes after you take them out of the oven, then remove them from the stone. I always use the mini serving spatula too and it works great. If you try to move them immediately after you take the stone out of the oven, cookies will just fall apart. 3 minutes gives them time to firm up a little but not "become one with the stone"
