If you're talking about the cakes...all the time! Just got a request from my daughter's friend to make it for the holiday party I'm cooking for them on Tuesday.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pampered Chef Stoneware and how is it different from other bakeware?

Pampered Chef Stoneware is made from natural clay that is fired at high temperatures, creating a durable and versatile cooking surface. Unlike metal or glass bakeware, stoneware provides even heat distribution, which helps to prevent hot spots and ensures consistent baking results. Additionally, stoneware can be used in the oven, microwave, and even on the grill, making it a versatile choice for various cooking methods.

How do I properly season my new Pampered Chef Stoneware?

To season your new stoneware, start by washing it with warm, soapy water and drying it thoroughly. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil or shortening to the surface of the stoneware. Place the stoneware upside down on the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the stoneware cool inside. This process helps create a non-stick surface and enhances the flavor of your dishes.

Can I use metal utensils on Pampered Chef Stoneware?

It is recommended to avoid using metal utensils on Pampered Chef Stoneware, as they can scratch the surface and damage the seasoning. Instead, opt for silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to preserve the integrity of your stoneware and maintain its non-stick properties.

How do I clean my stoneware after use?

After using your Pampered Chef Stoneware, allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Avoid using soap, as it can strip the seasoning. Instead, use a scraper or a non-abrasive sponge to remove any food residue. For stubborn stains, soak the stoneware in warm water for a short period. Once clean, dry it thoroughly and store it in a dry place to prevent moisture buildup.

Can I put my Pampered Chef Stoneware in the dishwasher?

It is not recommended to put Pampered Chef Stoneware in the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the seasoning and surface of the stoneware. Hand washing is the best method to maintain its quality and longevity.
