Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Deanna, what a great buy!!! I'm jealous. I make pizza on my stone, it really turns out well. I've made it from scratch and I've also just used crusts like Bobboli on my stone. I just have a knack of piling too many veggies on my pizzas and it's not done in the middle! I love my deep dish pie plate. My crusts are never soggy now. I make my quiches in that. Cookies cook well also on these stones. To clean just use a plastic scrapper with water to scrape them clean. Never put in the dishwasher or use any type of soap on them. Jane Today I bought 3 Pampered Chef bakeware items, including a lg. baking stone, deep dish pot and I don't know what the third one is..Lol..Looks like a large pie baking dish. Total cost for all 3(never used) was $4 each.OH I can hardly wait to make a pizza on the stone. Anyone have any good recipes for this cookware and how do I clean them , etc. Help !

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Thanks Jane, I am happy to know how to clean the cookware. The deep dish pie plate seems large but it will sure work for a casserole. Thinking about a Shepard's Pie..Tomorow a pizza..

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I always bake my bread on my pizza stone! if it has never been used, you can season it with some oil.. or cook something oily on it the first few times. soon you'll never have things stick. when I bake my bread or pizza, I like a little corn meal on it... and if anything really sticks, you can use a little bking soda, but that is it. if you use soap, everything you cook later will taste like soap! ooh... I'm jealous Deanna, you found a treasure all right! =) jenni On Jan 10, 2006, at 10:36 PM, genny_y2k wrote: > > > Today I bought 3 Pampered Chef bakeware items, including a lg. > baking > > stone, deep dish pot and I don't know what the third one > is..Lol..Looks > > like a large pie baking dish.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 --- the one that looks like a large round pie plate is probably the round baker. I have one and love it, especially for family gatherings and potlucks. otherwise, everyday, it makes too much for us. I discovered it's perfect for things that need a water bath. I make cheesecakes at Christmas quite a bit and it is perfect for springform pans.it also works well to put ramekins of custard in. it's good for pasta bakes, deep-dish pizza pies, veg paella, etc. it's something that's good if the casserole is to be kind of " showy " - -it lends itself to much creativity : ). it also works well for large round loaves of bread and souffles although it's been awhile since I did one of those. does well for batch of jumbo cinnamon rolls, egg bakes, etc. I usually clean with just water. they usually come with a special scraper if bought directly from company. a regular nonsoapy scratchpad (no steel) works OK. they say don't use soap but I sometimes do but I don't soak them in soapy water--just a small squirt of soap under running water if really crusty. after being used quite a few times they are supposed to be nonstick but I still usually coat with cooking spray or little oil. discoloration of stones are normal. will check out Pampered Chef website later today to see if I missed anything : ). I have a pizza stone, round baker, mini baker, knives (good--are self-sharpening), cooking utensils, bar pan (fantastic), and few other things. my sister-in-law used to sell it so we would get it for birthdays/Christmas or we could buy it at cost from her. my favorite pans will always be cast-iron and clay bakers : ). have fun and you never know, it can become an addiction : ).

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Jenni, Thanks so much for the info. I had no idea how to bake on them or clean them. I am a iron skillet wooden spoon cook but I am about to *go uptown * now..LOL Deanna , Jenni Billings <jenni@b...> wrote: > > I always bake my bread on my pizza stone! > > if it has never been used, you can season it with some oil.. or cook > something oily on it the first few times. > > soon you'll never have things stick. > > when I bake my bread or pizza, I like a little corn meal on it... > > and if anything really sticks, you can use a little bking soda, but > that is it. if you use soap, everything you cook later will taste > like soap! > > ooh...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Anne, I thank you so much for the baking ideas and cleaning info. I feel so fortunate to have found these at the thrift store for less than $4 each and never used. Cannot wait to make a pizza on the baking stone. I even like the sound of that *Baking Stone*. Tribal, Earthy.. Thanks again all of you for your great advise. I love this group.
