New Brownies - Why the Oil on Stoneaware?

[mistym]

Hey Guys and Gals

Just wondering about something -

I made the warm nutty caramel brownies and they were amazing. I am just wondering what you are saying at shows about the oil on the stoneware when we trying to sell stoneware as a none stick surface?

Thanks

Misty

Because melted chocolate can stick just a little bit, even on a non-stick surface, so that's just extra insurance.There's a video on CC with a demo of the recipe and that's basically what they say.

Our stoneware "evolves" into a non-stick surface as it seasons... My host last night had a BLACK stone, you wouldn't even know what it was until you flipped it over...now that is a very seasoned stone, and you wouldn't need to oil that!

funny, I've had two past hosts (also past consultants) who have blackened stones, they are soo slick on the surface, I can't wait till mine are that seasoned!

I've had stoneware for a decade, but just about the time it would be that seasoned, ***someone*** in my family drops and breaks it or drops something on it...

<Sigh> Someday...

ohhhh man, bummer!

Doesn't that make you sick?

It's bad when you are more disappointed cuz you have to start the seasoning process all over again than the fact that you have to spend the $$ to buy a new stone!!

Although lately I've come across a bad batch of Stones that are breaking during baking for 3 customers now just in the past 6-8months!

quick question... has anyone tried these brownies with ALMOND HERSHEY KISSES??
I'm with a potential host now who doesn't like caramel and wanted to know if we could use the almond ones at her show.

TIA

I don't see why not! I'd think it'd be great!

At the workshop The Test Kitchen Cooks, they suggested substituting any of the Hershey Kisses varieties or even mini Reese's Cups. If you have someone who doesn't like nuts, The Furry Guy suggests using chopped pretzels.
