Removing Black Discoloration from Stone - Will Baking Soda Help?

[crystalscookingnow]

Will the baking soda paste remove black 'stuff' that's on a lrg round stone? It's not sticky, it just looks like the stone has been discolored. The guest purchased the stone at a party of mine in December & brought it to me at a March party. I've never seen anything like this. It's splotchy, like they took black paint & made the stone with it (which I know they didn't, I'm just trying to describe how it looks). Wierd.

I don't want to have to send the whole stone back to HO if I can fix this for her.

Are you sure it isn't seasoning? My stones all have areas that are absolutely black. It's not sticky. It just looks, like you said, painted.

May as well try it. I have some black spots on stones from cooking minced onion that didn't stick to the chicken and vegetables. Not a problem though. She can always put in the oven on the self cleaning cycle. I've never done this, but I was told you could do it.

I've talked to the guest about both of these possiblities & she wouldn't hear of keeping it like that. I guess I'll try it & see. Otherwise, I don't know what to tell her.

I meant I'd try the baking soda.

The stone is guaranteed - just have it replaced. If you don't want to break it, do you have pieces from other stones that you can send in and you can keep that one for yourself?

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about the discoloration on your stone. Baking soda can definitely help with removing stains from stone, but it may not be effective for discoloration caused by a chemical or dye. I would recommend trying a stone cleaner or a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar to see if that helps. If not, you may need to contact our customer service team for further assistance. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for being a loyal customer!
