- Stoneware has been a cornerstone product
for Pampered Chef for decades.
Its shapes and styles have
evolved over the years,
but here's what holds true.
Stoneware's durability,
versatility, and consistency
make it a must have for your kitchen.
Stoneware makes food taste so good.
It evenly distributes heat
and draws moisture away from
the food resulting in crispier
crusts, juicier meats,
even browning, and lighter baked goods.
And Stoneware has
excellent heat retention,
so it keeps your food nice and warm.
My favorite things to
cook are roasted potatoes.
They come out perfectly crispy
and you don't even have to flip them.
Here's a tip.
Cover the surface evenly with food.
This helps keep the temperature
even across the pan.
So what is Stoneware?
It's a ceramic bakeware
that's made from 100% natural material.
It's pressed into shapes
and fired in a kiln
at extremely high temperatures.
This is what gives Stoneware its strength.
And since our Stoneware is
dense and virtually non-porous,
it won't hold onto
smells, oils or flavors.
No one wants their cookies
tasting like fish sticks,
and that won't happen with these.
We have different types of Stoneware.
Fully unglazed, fully
glazed, and partially glazed.
They're fantastic in the oven
and I love that they're microwave safe.
And our unglazed stones are broiler safe.
Let's talk about the workhorse pieces.
every kitchen needs,
our unglazed Stoneware.
If you don't have Stoneware,
this is where you want to start.
We've upgraded this collection
with our new stone fusion
material to get even better results,
make it even more versatile,
and stronger than ever before.
When fused in the firing process,
this special formulation gives
you Stoneware that strong
enough to be preheated, used
with higher oven temperatures,
and can go in the dishwasher.
Our popular bar pan and pizza stone
are part of this collection.
Homemade and store bought pizza
are both amazingly good on Stoneware.
When you preheat the stones,
you get even lighter
crispier pizza crusts.
And the pizza stone is
designed with a back lip,
so food doesn't slide off
when you take this stone
in and out of the oven,
or when you use a pizza peel.
The handles make it easier to put the pans
in and out of the oven.
You can also make excellent
sheet pan dinners,
roasted veggies and cookie
bars with the bar pans.
Put them under the
broiler for toasting foods
or finishing a dish with melted cheese.
And check out this unique
pattern on the bottom.
For people who already have Stoneware,
this will help distinguish these
updated pieces as ones that
are safe to preheat,
use under the broiler,
and put in the dishwasher.
When you first get your Stone,
you could start using it right away.
The more you use it,
a darker natural nonstick
surface develops.
We like to say the darker it looks,
the better it cooks.
To build the seasoning more
quickly, bake higher fat foods
the first few times or lightly
brush with cooking oil.
Cleaning unglazed Stoneware is even easier
now that you can put it in the dishwasher.
If you want to build up that
dark seasoning over time,
you can skip the dishwasher
and use a little warm water and
the pan scraper that comes with it.
No soap needed.
To deep clean your Stoneware,
make a baking soda paste,
apply it to the area
and let it stand for
about 15 to 20 minutes.
Wipe off the paste with
a non abrasive cloth
and rinse and towel dry.
Our partially glazed
Stoneware is another option
that's great for oven
to table presentation.
This option combines a
functional unglazed material that
goes in and out of the microwave.
It gets crispy, delicious results,
and the gray outer
glaze makes it beautiful
for any occasion.
This Stoneware also
comes with a pan scraper
and all you need to use to
clean it is some warm water.
Our fully glazed Stoneware
pieces are oven to table ready.
Just like our other Stoneware,
there's no seasoning required.
I love doing our famous braids and rings.
They look so pretty on the platter.
And the best part is that when
they come out of the oven,
I don't have to transfer
to a different plate
or bowl to serve.
So easy.
When I make warm dips in
the glazed Stoneware bowls,
they stay warm for a long time,
so everyone can enjoy them.
These pieces are also dishwasher safe.
No matter what type of
Stoneware you choose,
you can be sure you'll
get amazing results.
Once you start using it,
you'll see how it will become
a staple in your kitchen
for decades to come.
