I have a customer who has one of the farmyard animal molds and she just asked me how to use it. I started with PC long after these were gone from the line. Is there any place I can read up how to use it or can anybody here help me?

TIA!
 
Press dough into the mold, then tap it out. Place the shaped cookie on a stone or baking sheet and bake.I'll see if I have a PIG page electronically from the old molds.
 
I found one - it's from a heart mold, but the theory is the same. It doesn't give any specifics, though. Just that dough should be molded, then turned out and baked.

Thanks so much! Hopefully great customer service will keep me on their minds.
 
Hi there! I would be happy to help you and your customer with using the farmyard animal mold. The first step is to make sure the mold is clean and dry before using it. Then, you can either use a non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease the mold with oil or butter to prevent sticking. Next, prepare your batter or dough according to your recipe and fill the mold about 2/3 full. Place the mold on a baking sheet and bake according to your recipe's instructions. Once done, let the mold cool for a few minutes before removing the baked goods from the mold. You can then decorate or serve them as desired. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any further questions. Happy cooking!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a stone mold for farmyard animal shapes?

A stone mold for farmyard animal shapes is a baking tool made from natural stone that allows you to create fun and decorative shapes of various farm animals, such as cows, pigs, and chickens. The stone material helps distribute heat evenly, resulting in perfectly baked treats.

2. How do I prepare the stone mold before using it?

Before using your stone mold for the first time, wash it with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. To season the mold, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil or cooking spray to the surface. This helps to prevent sticking and enhances the mold's non-stick properties.

3. What types of recipes can I use with the stone mold?

You can use the stone mold for a variety of recipes, including cakes, brownies, and even savory dishes like meatloaf or cornbread. Just ensure that the batter or mixture is thick enough to hold its shape during baking.

4. How do I clean the stone mold after use?

After using the stone mold, allow it to cool completely. Then, gently scrape off any food residue with a plastic spatula or scraper. Rinse it with warm water and use a soft sponge if necessary. Avoid using soap, as it can absorb into the stone. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.

5. Can I use the stone mold in the microwave or dishwasher?

No, it is not recommended to use the stone mold in the microwave or dishwasher. The high heat of the microwave can damage the stone, and the dishwasher's harsh detergents can strip the seasoning. Always bake in a conventional oven for best results.
