Cooking and Baking with Stoneware as a Safe Non-stick Option
With all the news reports and information we have now about the materials in pans and baking dishes, we know that most of these types of baking pans contain toxic materials that can end up in our food. Yuck!
What is a safe solution to bake with?
Cast iron skillets are amazing! We love our cast iron skillet for cooking on the stove and sometimes a small dish in the oven.
Another option is stoneware!
Pampered Chef has a full line of stoneware products from muffin tins to large baking dishes. These are the perfect addition to a natural kitchen for healthy baking and cooking. Plus when baking with stoneware, every dish will turn out well and be evenly cooked. Your food won’t burn and they are easy to clean!
You can even season them just like you would your cast iron skillet. I prefer to season with coconut oil. To season, you just heavily coat your dish in oil and bake in the oven for 30 mins at 350. The beauty is the more you use it, the more non-stick it becomes!

From Pampered Chef “(The stoneware is) Made from natural stoneware clay, each stoneware piece distributes heat efficiently for even baking and browning.”
Pampered Chef shares about Stoneware:
-
No preheating — just place food on Stoneware and cook. (Dense frozen foods like meat should be thawed first.)
-
Absorbs and retains heat for even baking and golden crusts.
-
Draws moisture away from food so it cooks light and crispy.
-
Virtually nonporous, so it doesn’t retain oils, odors or flavors.
-
Microwave-, freezer-, conventional and convection oven-safe.
-
Nonstick “seasoning” builds up with every use: the darker it looks, the better it cooks!
