Thanks for some new suggestions guys! I earned the SRB last summer with my new fall products, and because I haven't really found anything else besides bacon and apples to cook in it, I haven't used it a whole lot. My family is still small enough (hubby, me, and 21-month-old son) that we could easily do breaded chicken in it. I also have a recipe for Pepper-Jack cheese stuffed Southwestern Meatballs that could possibly do really well in there. They sort of fell apart in the skillet the last time I made them...

Yummy! can you share the meatball recipe?
 
Is there a meatloaf recipe for the SRB? For some reason, I have it in my head that there is. But I can't find it. I was thinking of making meatloaf tonight to go with french fries (I just got my french fry slicer). Can anyone point me in the right direction? I guess I could do it in the DCB but I hardly ever use the SRB so I thought finding a new recipe for it would help me love it and promo it more. Thanks.
 
You can use any meatloaf recipe but if you're going to make meatloaf, make the best one ever- SOUTHWESTERN MEATLOAF! You can download it from CC since it's from an old S/B. Just shape it and put it in the srb. YOu could tent it with foil to keep it from splashing.

HAHAHA...it's actually my BOSS, so I didn't want to say...well, I use the kitchen brush to clean all my stones and her think that I'm trying to sell her MORE. But she's never owned a stone before and was just trying to follow the care & use guide. She's just afraid she'd going to "hurt" it!!

Thanks to all that have given suggestions.

I'd be honest with her and say, "Honestly, what I love to use the most and works really well is our Kitchen Brush. It has a long handle that helps keep my hands out of the hot water, and it does a super job. Another thing I've heard other stoneware users will use is a scrubbie sponge--just dedicated to scrubbing their stones (so it won't be soapy)." This way you're letting her know your preference and that we do have something perfect for the job, but then are mentioning an inexpensive option that isn't a sale for you.

Mine looks like new and I use it a lot. I use one of those green scotch scrubbies and it works like a charm. I don't suggest using it on a brand new stone though as it will leave green marks before the stone is started to season but after using the stone a couple times this is the fastest and easiest thing I have found.

Beth I understand what you mean about leaving marks. I did come across scotch scrubby pads that are the same color as the stoneware. Those might be perfect if you can find some. I bought mine at Walmart I believe.

I tried a meatloaf in the SRB and we found it hard to remove from the pan because of the ridges. Now,I admit that we sliced it in the pan so I'm thinking if we took it out of the pan with a large spatula before cutting it we might like it better...
 
I make sausage balls in my SRB
 
Are those like meatballs but you use sausage instead of ground meat?
 
I love my SRB, even if I am on number 3 (oh well, love the guarantee!). I use the Easy Clean Kitchen Brush to clean it with hot water. Comes out great with minimal elbow "grease". We have cooked chicken breasts, a small prime rib, an eye of the round roast and breakfast sausage (in the oven) too. We always do bacon in a frying pan, but now I am going to have to try doing this in the microwave... I am also thinking that roasting asparagus would be great in it... Asparagus will be in season here in Ontario soon so I will have to try it now :)
