Stoneware is a nice addition to a kitchen where a lot of baking is done. Stoneware is useful because it is extremely durable. It can be baked in both the microwave and the oven and then stored in the refrigerator. The only thing to keep in mind with stoneware is that it should not be cleaned with soap because it is porous and will absorb whatever you use to clean it. Here are some helpful guidelines for cleaning your stoneware.
Instructions
1. Scrub food that is burnt onto stoneware off with a nylon scrubber. Run the stoneware under hot water as you work at it to loosen as much food as possible.
2. Make a paste with equal parts of salt and baking soda and add enough hot water to get a paste that is similar to toothpaste in consistency.
3. Spread the paste onto the stoneware in a thick layer.
4. Place a hot damp washcloth over the layer of paste and allow the stoneware to sit for at least 12 hours.
5. Remove the washcloth after allowing it to sit. Add a small amount of hot water to the stoneware and scrub on the stoneware with the nylon scrubber to remove the rest of the burnt on food.
6. Rinse the stoneware well with more hot water when the burnt on food has been removed.
