Does anyone know what stoneware fits into the insulate tote? Also...does anyone have suggestions on how to clean the stoneware muffin pan?

THANKS!!
 
The rectangle baker fits in it as well as all stones that are that size or less.

Use the Easy Clean Kitchen Brush to clean the muffin pan, fluted pan, etc.
 
The insulated tote was designed to hold the Rectangular Baker and Deep Dish Baker, but it will also work for the Large Bar Pan (really!), as well as smaller items. I find that a scrub brush works best for the muffin pan. Fill the wells with hot water and let them sit for a few minutes to soak, then scrub with a brush. If you don't have the old PC round brush (discontinued several years ago), the Easy Clean brush or even the scrubbie for this year's HWC will work.
 
I can't wait to get my HWC scrubbie just for stuff like that!! I love it!
 
stoneware muffin panDoes anyone know if the 12 cup stoneware muffin pans nests inside each other? Like if you have 2, do they fit down inside each other? Thanks.
 
Don't know for sure, but I would say.. probably not since they are so thick
 
Doesn't the SA large square bowl fit in the insulated tote as well??

Yes, the SA large square bowl does fit in the insulated tote.

BTW, the tote is on the list of items that are retiring at the end of August.

I didn't realize this was made for the Rect Baker and the DDB. I thought from the beginning it was for the large bar pan!! OOPS!! It also fits the Chillzanne REct Server...although a little tight.

Another item on the Disc list that is great is the Square Woven Traditions peice. You can use this for the 9x9 square baker, It fits perfectly. I LOVE IT!!
