One thing about the clay baking forms - I don't have any but was told to never use soap/detergent on things like that (because they can absorb it). Was told they should be scrubbed with . . . salt? baking soda? Not sure. Anyway, if you aren't familiar with them, might be a good idea to research it.
OOPS! they just went thru the dishwasher this morning. Smelled decent------------I did check that. After several items soaked in Oxy-clean I'm pretty sure there was a smoker in the house. Not terribly stained but the soak water was green enough that I know there was some smoke residue.
I'm headed back to the dining room to iron the squares ---------they looked pretty good after I removed them from their detergent wash.
