Everything was fine with it until I cooked some stuffed crab thingies for my husband....shrimp stuffed crab or something like that. After cooking that I saw the green tint....
 
Try making a baking soda paste. Scrub it with the Easy Clean Kitchen Brush (or another kitchen brish that does not have soap in it).
 
did anyone rub it with a scotch brite that you might not know about?
 
What is the lighting like in your kitchen? Take it outside and look at it in the sunshine. If it's still green, check your guarantee...
 
Wierd I would call ho about this.
 
I have the same thing, except I would call it blue rather than green. It is all along one inside edge. This is on the stone I take to shows, and have only made demo recipes on, nachos, brownies, pizza. I noticed it at a show, and did everything I could to keep the guests from noticing (dimmed the lights), LOL.

I have had it since Oct, but this showed up about a month ago.
 
The only time I have seen green or blue on a stone is from using a colored scratch pad and pushing too hard...the color comes off onto the stone and DOES NOT come off with scrubbing! Only with use and time does it eventually wear off. Looks gross in the mean time, though!

If you are CERTAIN that it's not caused by a scratch pad, I would call HO.
 
I've had stoneware discolor, from different fruits - like blueberries. It doesn't come out, but as I've used them more, the seasoning of the stone has hidden the freaky colors quite a bit!
 
Also, depends on what you dry it with. Paper towels with color can bleed and I imagine that some towels may as well.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Stoneware Bar Pan have a green tint?

The green tint in your Stoneware Bar Pan is likely due to the natural minerals present in the clay used to make the stoneware. These minerals can sometimes give the stoneware a slight color variation, which is completely normal and does not affect the performance of the pan.

Is the green tint harmful or unsafe for cooking?

No, the green tint is not harmful or unsafe for cooking. It is a natural characteristic of the stoneware and does not indicate any issues with the material. You can continue to use your pan without any concerns about safety.

Will the green tint affect the cooking performance of my Stoneware Bar Pan?

The green tint will not affect the cooking performance of your Stoneware Bar Pan. The pan will still heat evenly and provide the same great results as any other Pampered Chef stoneware product.

How can I clean my Stoneware Bar Pan if it has a green tint?

You can clean your Stoneware Bar Pan by hand washing it with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface. The green tint will not affect the cleaning process.

Is there a way to prevent the green tint from appearing on my Stoneware Bar Pan?

The green tint is a natural occurrence and cannot be prevented, as it is related to the clay's mineral content. However, regular use and proper care of your stoneware can help maintain its appearance and performance over time.
