Does it clean better? It's not porous so it should just wash clean correct? My stone is quite beat up, corner broken off (by company! LOL) and stained like crazy. I would be interested in something like this. But the bread baking? I use my stone to make baguettes. Come out great.

Well guys, I used to use OxyClean on my slate kitchen floors! Worked great. Mix with hot water and soak your cheese board in it. Or just pour it on and leave it in the sink for a while. My floors would bubble up with the oxyclean "eating" the proteins etc on the floor. Cheers irina How Do I Clean My Slate Cheese Board? Good Questions Flag this comment	2/15/13 4:47 PM
Me too, they are great for everything. Scour flour off the counters easily and wash really well. Love them for all my surfaces. Safe. Including my ceramic stove top between heavy cleanings. Cheers irina The Original Dobie Cleaning Pad Flag this comment	1/31/13 5:25 PM

yes I agree. I just put the root part with a little white in a glass of water. When I see the roots grow out, I plant them in dirt and they grow. Just snip off what I need and the keep growing.

Why don't you make them a brisket? That's a delicious meal that you are familiar with. Loaf of good bread as the other poster said and some rice or potatoes. Very nice of you to offer.

I sub out some whole wheat flour for some of the ap flour and never have a prob. I like the "yeastier" taste of whole wheat flour. Did that with pizza dough also. I don't know why it works! I'm a novice baker. LOL Cheers irina Baking Bread: The Best Flour For Baguettes, Sourdough, and More! Saveur Flag this comment	7/16/12 6:04 PM

There is a great oven for roasting pigs. Bobby Flay loves it and my mom used to have one. http://www.lacajachina.com/ Start there! It's really not that much work other than the marinating the night before. Then they all sit around drinking beer while the pig is cooking. Caja China makes it clean and easy.

Liked everything except the Krylon idea. I've used it and don't think it would hold up. Cheers irina Small Space Style on a Budget: Home of Restoration Hardware's Brooke Hanson Country Living Flag this comment	4/24/12 5:47 PM
