Setup and First Use

Before using your Farberware Bakers Advantage Pie Dish for the first time, it is important to clean it properly.

1. Wash the ceramic pie dish thoroughly in hot, soapy water.
2. Rinse completely with clean water.
3. Dry the dish thoroughly before storage or use.

Note: Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads, as these can damage the ceramic glaze.

Operating Instructions

Oven Use:

• The pie dish is oven safe up to 450°F (232°C).
• Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the hot ceramic bakeware.
• When baking with frozen ingredients or a frozen pie crust, place the frozen ceramic bakeware into a cold oven. Then, turn the oven to the desired temperature and allow the bakeware to heat up together with the oven. This helps prevent thermal shock.
• Do not place frozen ceramic bakeware directly into a preheated oven.
• Do not use the pie dish on stovetop burners, under a broiler, or any other direct heat source.

Microwave Use:

• Handles may become hot during microwave use, especially if they are covered by other items in the dish. Exercise caution and use oven mitts when removing from the microwave.
• Frozen ceramic bakeware is microwave safe.

Freezer Use:

• The pie dish is freezer safe for storing prepared dishes or ingredients.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Hand wash the pie dish with warm water and a mild detergent.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the ceramic surface.
• For stubborn, baked-on food, allow the ceramic bakeware to cool completely, then soak it in warm, soapy water before cleaning.
• Certain acidic foods may cause staining over time, but this will not affect the performance or safety of the stoneware.
• Avoid placing hot ceramic bakeware directly into cold water, as sudden temperature changes can cause thermal shock and potentially crack the dish. Always allow the dish to cool to room temperature before washing.

Troubleshooting

Preventing Damage:

• Chipping/Cracking: To prevent chipping or cracking, avoid sudden temperature changes (thermal shock). Do not place a hot dish on a cold surface or immerse a hot dish in cold water. Always allow the dish to cool gradually.
• Stains: While the stoneware is stain-resistant, some highly pigmented or acidic foods may cause minor discoloration over time. This is normal and does not affect the dish's performance. For stubborn stains, soak the dish in warm, soapy water.
• Scratches: Use only non-abrasive cleaning tools and avoid metal utensils that could scratch the glazed surface.
