Help! My DS Crayon'd My Med. Bar Pan - Ideas?

[PCSarahjm]

My DS took his crayon to my med. bar pan. I haven't tried to do anything to it afraid I would make it worse. Does anyone have any ideas for this? Or should I just throw it away and order a new one?

On the inside or outside of the stone? I wouldn't rush to throw it out. . .I think it can be saved.

Here are a few thoughts that came to mind right off the bat:

-- Heat up the stone in the oven with some parchment paper over the crayon spots.
-- Iron your stone (like you would a tablecloth to get candle wax out) with a paper bag (paper towel?) over the crayon spot.

Have you checked with HO? The product department might know about this. It can't be the first time it's happened.

Its on the inside. Thanks for the tips I will have to try them.

Sarah,

Send Home Office a quick email. They may have the perfect solution. Thanks Ann!

A baking soda paste might work. It worked to get crayon off my walls.

I was thinking the same thing...get your water really hot and scrape away.

Good luck! I noticed at a show that my bamboo tongs were drawn on with crayon--luckily before anyone used them to serve their food! I would be a little more upset if my daughter would have drawn on my stone instead!

Just thought I would update. HO did email me back but didn't have an answer. So I tried a few of the suggestions here but no luck. I still use the stone, the crayon is fading but it doesn't make my food turn green!(that was the color of the crayon)

At least they are non-toxic!

How seasoned is your stone? If it's seasoned well, it should come off with really hot water. If not, do as one of the others suggested and heat it up in the oven with some parchment paper pressed over it.

Something else that may work is taking some biscuits or crescent rolls and placing them over the crayon, press down on them and bake. It may help pull the crayon marks up.
