Hello!

I don't know if any of you live in red chile land (YUMMY!!!- but very stainful, much worse than tomato).

I made red chile enchiladas in my stoneware pan- I am having trouble getting the orangy stain out. Tried soaking, scrubbing, and baking soda- any ideas? (In plastic, I always use bleach to get it out, but I don't think you can do the bleach in stoneware)?

Appreciate any ideas!
Thanks!

Try making something else, like cresent rolls in the pan. This would take the soap out if you accidentally got soap on it, so try it for that. I have made enchiladas with red enchilada sauce in my rect baker and have seen the orangish color, but after using it for something else it's gone (or at least light enough that I can't tell.) I make the inside out lasanga in the same pan and it should be stained like crazy, but it really isn't. It's just seasoning up nicely!!
 
do crescent rolls really take care of the soap problem?
 
This is what I have been told.......

If you get soap on it, your food will taste like soap. So if you make cresent rolls, they will soak up the soap taste. Obviously, you don't want to eat them, just throw them out. I would roll them out like a crust, instead of the normal cresent way to cover more surface area.

It may work for the stain, I am not sure. It's just a guess. With regular use, my stain tends to fade over time and just become a nice brown seasoned look.

My rec baker is stained with blueberries. It bothered me at first, now I just ignore it. Still cooks great! So sorry I am no help.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove a red chile stain from my stoneware pan?

To remove a red chile stain from your stoneware pan, start by making a paste of baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stained area and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then, gently scrub with a soft sponge and rinse thoroughly.

Can I use bleach to remove red chile stains from stoneware?

No, you should avoid using bleach or any harsh chemicals on your stoneware, as they can damage the surface and affect its cooking properties. Stick to natural cleaning methods like baking soda or vinegar.

Is it safe to soak my stoneware pan in water to remove stains?

While it's generally safe to soak your stoneware pan, avoid prolonged soaking as it can cause the stoneware to absorb water and potentially crack. A short soak with warm, soapy water is usually sufficient.

What if the red chile stain persists after cleaning?

If the stain persists, you can try using a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Apply the mixture to the stain, let it sit for a while, and then scrub gently. Repeat if necessary until the stain is removed.

Can I use a metal scrubber on my stoneware to remove stains?

No, using a metal scrubber can scratch and damage the surface of your stoneware. It's best to use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid any harm to the pan.
