Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Lava Cake in a different Pampered Chef stoneware piece besides the DCB?
Yes, you can make Lava Cake in other Pampered Chef stoneware pieces, such as the Round Stone or the Rectangular Baker. Just ensure that the stoneware is appropriately sized for the recipe and adjust the baking time as needed.
