Soap on my stoneware... help

check there they are discussing the same issue

Seems not to damage in according to the link above. You could soak it in some vinegar and water to try to soak out and remove the soap residue.

This happens here all the time; doesn't seem to cause any difficulties for us. I often rinse well and wipe on a little olive oil.

The reason is seasoning the dish. If it gets soaped you just start over.........

It's not a big deal at all - even the link above saying to bake a sheet of canned crescent rolls is way overkill, though it won't hurt.

Rinse it well, let it air dry thoroughly, and use it as you normally would. It will build up another layer of seasoning.

I don't believe all the dire warnings of your food tasting of soap, unless you soaked it in soap for hours and didn't rinse it.

I have always put my pieces of stoneware from pampered chef in the dishwasher...they still look almost new after years of use ...my pizza stones are over ten years old. The bread pans and muffin cups are seven years old and I make bread at least once a week. I think that oiling them just builds up the stuff on them and it never will come clean looking after constant use.

Mine is very seasoned and probably 16+ years old. I scrape it and wash it with Dawn all the time. We use it at least twice a week. Never had a problem.

Oh, and frankly - if fish was the dinner, I'd want it washed with Dawn, too.

If you bake some biscuits or get a bit of oily cheese from a pizza on a stoneware pan, that's one thing. Scrape away, rinse, and leave it. But fish is entirely different. So is chicken. I'd be washing with detergent, either way.

I have washed mine with soap plenty of times.

I love PC stuff for the most part - but some of the things the consultants say is a little overkill. Some of their "cooking facts" are a little off too, but they mean well.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I did rinse it and let it sit in water for a couple of hours and rinsed it again. I've had it for years but not an everyday dish. I feel a whole lot better knowing that it isn't ruined. You guys are great!!!

I'd give my dh a big ol kiss for washing my icky pan. I wash or season as needed too. there hasn't been any problems with them so far.

I have even ran mine thought the self clean cycle in my oven. Comes out looking BRAND NEW !

I leave a flat stone in my oven all the time to regulate the heat and it gets pretty crusty - but after the self clean cycle it was just like it came out of the box!

Please Help!! My Pampered chef has been in storage for years, I wrapped it in paper, and mice ate the paper. Have I ruined it?? How do I give it a through cleaning??

This is an old thread brought it the top. Evetooker, I'd put it in the dishwasher.

I've got a roaster dish that I don't use much, it's still light beige in colour. Those of you who put it in the dishwasher and it looks like new, is yours the same beige colour? It's my understanding that over time, with regular use, it gets very dark, almost black in colour and that's the seasoning. Mine doesn't get used as much as it should, mainly because I forget about it. Lasagnas and roast chicken would be good for seasoning it, I would think.

I always wash mine, yikes, guess I never read the directions.

Jasdip, when this thread was new I said I did mine in the dishwasher then, and I still do them in the dishwasher. Mine are now over ten years old and are the unglazed ones. Sure they are darker, looks more like grease stains than anything else, but I have yet to have a soapy tasting pizza or cookie, dinner roll or loaf of bread yet. I know they are clean after coming out of the dishwasher and to me that is the main thing. I am sure I will be chastised for doing this and putting it out there, but it works for us. It is like trying to season a new cast iron frying pan. I takes years to get that finish right that nothing sticks.

Hi threejs!!!! I haven't seen you in ages and I'd hoped you'd come in and respond. Mine is unglazed too, and I'm not using it often enough to develop a patina. When I make scalloped potatoes in it, hubby says they're the best.

I have never used soap on my stones. The reason is that it could make food cooked on it might taste like soap....probably not a biggie.
