What is the best way to clean thes mini fluted stone. I baked mini choc bunt cakes. They were wonderful, but cleaning it has not been fun. I am soaking it and have had to rub it with my fingers to clean the grooves. Is there an easier way. Thank you.
 
I use a bottle brush.
 
BrushI use the PC Easy Clean Kitchen Brush. It is GREAT!! Makes cleaning so much easier, especially cause I use extremely hot water and I don't have to touch the hot water while I am scrubbing. The bristles get all those grooves.

Debbie :D
 
Let it soak with HOT WATER then use the PC kitchen brush!
 
I agree... the old rounded brush works great for the mini fluted.
 
I used my bottle brush too. It was a bit tedious, but I love this stone now. These little cakes came out and I thought they would be cute pumpkins, and I was right. I colored some frosting orange, and used green gumdrops on the tops and piped chocolate faces. They came out great.

HHHMMM I wonder why I never thought of that....I have wondered the same thing...I always get it clean but it is not easy...I will try this next time.
 
I don't care for cleaning the large fluted stone either!! But I bet the round kitchen brush does a better job then the current square one....

I was using the square one and it was difficult even after letting it soak. I will have to try the round one. Thanks, and I will have to try the pumpkins.
