Top 5 Stoneware Use & Care Tips | Pampered Chef 

just a suggestion, maybe while it is still hot, you can use a gentle scouring pad in sink full of hot water . I would not use self cleaning function- that usually heats up to and beyond 500 degrees. Do you know where it came from yet? Maybe from using cooking spray vs an oiled pastry brush or paper towel?

Yes, it's fine. Just make sure you use most of the surface area.

Yes

No!

Most say the temperature change can weaken it. (Perhaps if the stoneware is slightly warmer & then put into a moderate temp oven to start, it might work.) I will ask a Pampered Chef person first. Most of the different opinions are over the pizza stone. If the oven is very hot it can cause thermal shock according to the PC people.

Other videos say hot water, and the scraper. Another comment on here gives very good advice on how to clean it.

i also bought some used. no scrapper. I will be buying a scrapper at either walmart, home depot etc. Lodge brand (cast iron) sells a 2 pack on amazon among other places too.

I use mine for cookies, frozen foods like chicken nuggets, taquitos, and corn dogs, I also roast veggies, potatoes, whole chicken or chicken cuts.... I literally cook everything on it lol

Lol, what are you baking that could possibly be unhygienic? You do realize that whatever tiny residue is left on dish will always be baked along with the next dish, right? It's not like you can cross contaminate with raw chicken or something, this thing comes out of a hot oven and goes back into a hot oven.

The heat is similar to an oven, not a grill or stovetop. Thanks for the idea.

throw it away. when in doubt toss it out, is the rule in a kitchen...lol.

I would rinse (dumping water into toilet) with cool tap water. Then baking soda with a small amount of water thoroughly scrubbing & rinsing. Then a mild solution of water with Dawn antibacterial hand soap/dishwashing liquid (APPLE BLOSSOM SCENT) scrubbing with a good nylon bristle brush. Then carefully rinsing with warm water & more scrubbing and finally lots of warm water rinsing. Then dry thoroughly. The Antibacterial liquid should not leave a scent but another baking soda scrub and rinse can be done. I know they say no soap but I have been able to remove odors from plastic with this particular Dawn as the scent is mild and doesn’t stay if rinsed well and promptly. Lastly, if it isn’t enough, a 3% hydrogen peroxide spray is very reliable for removing odor & stain and can be rinsed off after 5-15 minutes with good results. After the pan has dried it can be re-seasoned with cooking a high fat food. (I know that this is after the fact but I hope you didn’t toss out your pan!)

I bet the mouse blew up and died. Lol
