How do I remove orange stains from my rectangular baker?

[sfdavis918]

I made a lasagna in my rectangle baker and it the leftovers sat in the fridge longer than it should have. Now the sauce has left a bit of orange in the stone. Any idea on what to do to get rid of it? I'm soaking it right now to see if that helps.

TIA!

make a paste of baking soda and water. Let it stand 15 min., rub it into the stain in a circular motion.

Yep- if that doesn't work, it WILL wear off with use.

Do NOT use a green or blue scrubbie unless you want to have an orange AND blue or green stain. (No reason in particular that I would know that...:blushing: )

Hi there! Sorry to hear about your lasagna leftovers staining your rectangle baker. Soaking it is a good first step, but if that doesn't work, you can try using a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste, then gently scrubbing the stained areas with a soft cloth or sponge. You can also try using a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water to soak the stained areas for a few hours before scrubbing. Just be sure to rinse the baker thoroughly afterwards. I hope this helps! Happy cooking!
