Yep, there is a WORLD of difference between a store bought piece of stoneware and Pampered Chef stoneware. Pampered Chef stoneware is made of 100% pure clay, no fillers of any kind and is vitrified to 2000 degrees. Both of these ensure stones that are virtually non-porous so no oils or odors will be absorbed into the stone, regardless of what you bake on them. You can put fish on it and then turn around and bake cookies on it and you will get no transfer of flavor or odor from the fish at all. I couldn't live without my stones. Got to agree with you there, the husband would go before the stones would. Hahahaha

And yes, I'm a Pampered Chef consultant but I chose PC because of how much I love their products.

So, I should spring for another $20 for the rock- uh, I mean stone? No fishy cookies, you say? I am getting a real education. Okay, where do you get that thing?

I totally agree about the pampered chef baking stones...I'm going to have to buy a new one, since Mr. Legs put mine on a hot burner last week. It made a really spectacular sound as it shattered. :-(
That rock actually inspired a really fabulous veggie pizza recipe...
