The Pampered Chef Small Oval Baker Description

Proper Care of Your Stoneware
Stoneware is a natural clay product that requires some special care. To properly care for your Stoneware, follow these simple practices: Avoid dropping or exposure to extreme temperature changes. Do not add liquid to Stoneware after it has been heated. Always allow Stoneware to cool to room temperature prior to adding liquid or cleaning. Do not use Stoneware under the broiler or on top of a direct heat source. When removing Stoneware from freezer, allow Stoneware, and frozen foods in Stoneware, to thaw completely in refrigerator prior to placing in a preheated oven. Thaw dense frozen foods prior to baking in Stoneware. Do not place any other pan or rack on top of or in Stoneware to bake.Evenly spread food over Stoneware surface. Avoid clustering foods in or on one side.
Preparing Stoneware: Wash prior to first use (see "How to Clean"). To season your Stoneware, lightly grease or spray the interior surface with shortening or vegetable oil spray and bake high fat foods (e.g., Au Gratin) for the first several bakings. After these bakings, your Stoneware will begin to season and greasing may not be required.
