Hartstone Pottery Baking Stone Muffin Pan

Bought it last week. Washed it in the dish washer. Made blueberry muffins acc. to the recipe it came with. It fit nicely in my Breville mini smart oven. Muffins were delicious. Only complaint is that muffins stick to the sides despite spaying with cooking oil. Overall, I am happy with it.

do you grease, not grease? wash in dishwasher or by hand??? Would have been nice to include a little info! haven't used yet but product seems to be as advertised

We made the switch to stoneware bakeware from Hartstone Pottery and we don't ever want to use anything else for our muffins, breads, etc. We truly feel that they carry out honest values and extraordinary craftsmanship in their products that are all made in Ohio.I used this for left over pumpkin bread batter I had, and the muffins turned out perfect. The bottoms and sides are soft and moist (not burnt or dry). We couldn't believe it! The look, feel and weight of the muffin pan is gorgeous. It is on the heavy side, but it is sturdy. Their products develop a natural non-stick surface the more you use it. I rinsed in warm water and coated the pan with extra virgin olive oil (you only need to season it ONCE, yahoo!). After baking with it for the first time, it had the expected crumbs and pumpkin bread sticking to it--which is completely normal for the first use. I rinsed it in warm water with a Pampered Chef bakeware scraper and it magically just floated on out and I wiped it with a towel. Clean and ready for its next use!Also, I noticed on the bottom of the muffin pan that each cup has a heart on it. I just thought that was adorable :)Don't second guess yourself, this is a product and company to invest in! :) We believe stoneware bakeware from this company will last us a lifetime.

Item was barely "protected" by one sheet of bubble wrap. As i picked up the box at my door, the "rattling" and "tinkling" sounds gave away the status of the contents. Deplorable.

My husband and I were weary of looking at our pathetic metal muffin tins that were rusting more and more with normal usage over just a few years. We decided to invest in stoneware since we really like our pizza stone. We gulped at paying $20 for each 6-cup pan, plus $20 for postage. If you have some Christmas money to spend, these are definitely worth buying. They bake muffins, rolls, etc. very evenly and make them look beautiful. The cups are bigger than metal pans, so we feel like we're getting more to eat because the muffin is wider yet still plenty tall. I've made blueberry muffins several times and even with that sticky blue juice, clean-up is a snap! I pre-rinse my dishes in the sink then run in dishwasher (though don't know that the bleach is good for them), and even with a pre-rinse, the pans are clean to the eye. Even the baked shortening wipes out easily with no soaking into the stoneware. The only down-side is that the pans are heavy so don't know that I'd get them for a frail person. Made in Ohio made me very happy, too.

My wife was a Pampered Chef Consultant for a while and has a lot of stoneware that she uses all the time. At Christmas, she always makes Yorkshire Pudding in her 12 count stoneware Muffin pan , but there was never enough. She asked for a 6 count pan so she could make 18 at a time which would fit the bill. Also when it is just the 2 of us , the 6 count pan is perfect for muffins for us.

This muffin pan is perfect. You lightly oil it on the first use and after that nothing sticks. I makes nice size muffins and the pan is small. I'm able to use it in my micro/convection oven, so I don't have to turn on my big oven. Another big plus is it is made in the USA. Also until 7-30-2012 hartstone is having a sale of 50% off at [...}

I was looking for muffin pans that were not made of metal to avoid chemicals or aluminum in our food. These work really well. Nothing sticks and they bake evenly and leave muffins with a crispy outside! I highly recommend them. Also, they are made in Ohio, not overseas!
