GeorgiaPeach said:I haven't done this for a while (maybe I should!) but it was a great visual. I baked a cookie on a metal cookie sheet and one on a stone. (Okay, I actually baked more...I just ate the rest!) I passed each cookie around the room so they could see the two cookies side by side. The one baked on metal had a smooth, shiny, dark bottom...was hard. The stoneware cookie was perfect. I also baked a cookie on a stone for 40 miutes and showed how it looked...didn't burn, etc. Got lots of oohs and ahhs.

I love this idea but I don't think I can bring myself to waste money on an inferior stone - but it is a great story that we can all use! "I know a consultant who...". Thanks!feliciamck said:Buy one of the cheap immitation stones and cook on it for a while. Make garlic bread, fish sticks, etc. It will really start to smell! They are also very porous so all the grease soaks in and all the way through to the bottom!
I found this out when I broke my stone and didn't know anyone selling PC. I bought a cheap one to tide me over.
What a mistake! I am glad I kept it and now that I am a new consultant, I plan on bringing it to my shows to let customers see what an inferior product looks like up against the real thing!
Stoneware is a type of ceramic material that is fired at high temperatures, making it durable and able to withstand high heat. It is beneficial for cooking because it distributes heat evenly and retains heat well, making it perfect for baking and roasting. It also has a natural non-stick surface, making it easy to clean.
Some creative ways to demonstrate stoneware include making a one-pot meal like a casserole or soup, baking a dessert like a fruit crisp or bread, or roasting vegetables. You can also showcase its versatility by using it to cook both sweet and savory dishes.
Yes, stoneware can be safely used in the microwave as long as it does not have any metal components, such as decorative handles. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use and care in the microwave.
To clean stoneware, simply use hot water and a mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the stoneware's surface. It is also important to avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing hot stoneware in cold water, as this can cause it to crack. Let stoneware cool down before cleaning, and avoid using metal utensils on the surface.
No, stoneware is not recommended for use on the stovetop as it is not designed to withstand direct heat from a burner. It is best used in the oven or microwave.
