Please Help!!! Stone in the Dishwasher

[Chef Endora]

Please help!
My daughter's MIL was trying to be helpful & put my dtr's rectangular baker in the dishwasher & ran it!

Has anyone had this happen & can you do anything about it?

I told her the baking soda paste, then maybe try baking a few cakes to try to draw out the yuk.

There have been some threads on this and the main response was that it isn't good for it, but that it will be okay. The soapy taste should come out with the first food in it, but someone said the first thing they made didn't even taste like soap...

I am sure that it will be okay, but tell her to watch for cracks from the mositure being forced through the pores during the DW cycle!

Thanks a lot!!! She was thinking of tossing it & I would hate to see her do that if it can be saved. I wasn't aware of the potential crack(s)

Oh no, that sounds like a kitchen disaster! I'm so sorry that happened to your daughter's baker. I know how much those rectangular bakers mean to us as consultants and how much we rely on them for our cooking and baking needs. First of all, take a deep breath and try not to panic. There are a few things you can try to salvage the baker and hopefully get it back to its original condition. As you mentioned, a baking soda paste is a great option for removing any residue or discoloration on the baker. Simply mix equal parts baking soda and water to form a paste, and then gently scrub it onto the affected areas. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing off with warm water. You may need to repeat this process a few times to fully remove any stains. Another option is to try using a vinegar and water solution. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray it onto the affected areas. Let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it off with a damp cloth. This can help remove any lingering smells from the dishwasher and also help with any discoloration. If these methods don't work, you can also try baking a few cakes or casseroles in the baker. The heat from the oven can sometimes help draw out any remaining residue or smells. Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed fix for this situation, but hopefully one of these methods will help restore your daughter's baker.
