Ok, as a consultant you would think that I would figure out how to use a stone for the first time! but of course I didnt. Now what?

I used the new Baker and made a brisket in it. The sauce burnt on the upper part of the baker and now I cant get it off. I didnt spray oil or anything before cooking. Any suggestions on how to clean the black off so that it doesnt look yucky when I show it? A new sponge didnt work b/c the blue came off a bit lol
 
rinse your stone in hot water. Make a paste of baking soda and water. smear it on the spot you want to clean. Let it sit for a while then rinse and use pan scraper or kitchen brush.

Thanks Paulette, I have to do that. I decided to make the Bread Pudding so I cleaned it quickly to get that done. I'll try that tonight :)
 
LOL Tina. I had a green spot one mine from a sponge one time!!
 
For the first three times you need to spray oil or use high fat foods to season it. LOL
;)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean a burnt stone baker?

To clean a burnt stone baker, allow it to cool completely. Then, use a plastic scraper or a spatula to gently remove any burnt food residue. Avoid using metal utensils as they can scratch the surface.

Can I soak my burnt stone baker in water?

No, soaking a stone baker in water is not recommended as it can cause the stone to absorb moisture, leading to cracking when heated. Instead, clean it with a damp cloth or sponge.

What should I use to scrub a burnt stone baker?

Use a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste. Apply it to the burnt areas and let it sit for a few hours before gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.

Is it safe to use soap on a burnt stone baker?

It is generally advised to avoid using soap on stone bakeware, as it can be absorbed by the stone and affect the flavor of your food. Instead, stick to natural cleaning methods like baking soda.

How can I prevent my stone baker from burning in the future?

To prevent burning, preheat your oven with the stone baker inside to ensure even cooking. Also, avoid cooking at excessively high temperatures and always monitor your food while it cooks.
