Pampered Chef stone ware Roaster questions?

[AussieAcres]

So far all the advice is good. There is really no difference in the way you would cook, other than occasionally some dishes you will need to pre-butter the dish before cooking with it. This is mostly for ease of clean up. The stoneware IMO heats more even and improves the overall taste.
Cleaning it is rather simple, especially if you pre-soak it in hot water. They also sell nylon scrapers for clean up, and the pampered chef ones have different angled rounded edges that almost perfectly fit the different groove and bend types of the stoneware.

Yes i have some pampered Chef stoneware already that I have used so much its really really dark brown now...but I have never cooked with this roaster ...in which the bottom is stoneware and the top (cover) is stoneware .....

We LOOOOOOVE the pizza stone. We cook lots of stuff on it, same as if it were a round cookie sheet. Biscuts, cookies, chicken patties, pizza of course, garlic bread or toast, .... I practically never wash it either - it gets seasoned like cast iron. It lives in the oven and just gets moved to the bottom rack if we're cooking in something else.

I also have a stone pie plate and loaf pan. I use the loaf pan to make meatloaf in, and bread of course, and it gets washed after each use, but I rarely use the pie plate. Whoever coined the phrase "easy as pie" must not have ever made a pie

A recent favorite of ours to do with the pizza stones, load it up with nacho chips (we use blue corn) then chopped tomatoes, white and green onions, garlic, Jalapenos, and Shredded cheeses. Cook in the oven till warm and melty...ka-pow Ultimate nachos!! Pour on the salsa, sour cream or guac and your in heaven! Least for a half hour or so....
