Preheat the oven to 425°F. Rinse the baker with water and wipe with sponge, then dry with a towel. Generously fill the base about ¾ of the way with vegetable or canola oil. Place the baker in a oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven with mitts then let it cool for 2-4 hours. Pour the cooled oil into a bowl for future use. Wipe off the excess oil with a dry cloth then use it within the next few days. Wipe the base with oil for the next 2- times before baking. Note that the stoneware will darken the more it is used. This is completely normal and means that you are getting a nice, non-stick surface. CLEANING: Cool baker to room temperature before cleaning. Never use soap on unglazed stoneware. Simply scrape off any remaining food particles and scrub under hot water. Towel or air dry. Do not put in the dishwasher. THERMAL SHOCK: As with all stoneware, do not expose the Superstone Covered Baker to extremes in temperature. For instance, do not place a refrigerated dough
