Stoneware
At that PC party I went to, they were really pushing the stone cookware. I was just curious if anyone uses stoneware and what they think of it.
I have a pizza stone that I love. But it's the only piece of stoneware I have and pizza is the only thing I use it for (even though it could be used for just about anything).

I love my Pampered Chef stoneware!! I have 6 pieces and am currently hosting a catalog party (it ends on Wed; if you want to order, let me know!
 ) so I can buy a couple more.They are very easy to use, durable, versatile and so simple to wash. someone sounded uneasy about not being able to use soap.... I love it! It's a snap to just scrape away the left over crumbs, rinse, dry and store. Saves on time and soap. I must admit that I was nervous about using the stoneware at first, but then I bought the PC recipe book for Stoneware and that helped me branch out and try new things. The mini bar pan is great for the toaster oven; chicken nuggets and fish sticks cook a lot better on it. Muffins turn out better in the muffin stoneware, too. Good luck with your stoneware adventures!

I don't know anything about Pampered Chef. But Friend Wife used to be a potter, and we've done all sorts of cooking and baking in both stoneware and earthenware.
Besides that, I make a lot of tagines, in an actual tagine, which is unglazed clay. One difference is that the tagine gets cured with olive oil.

If I remember right the stone ware also gets seasoned or cured with use, like an iron skillet. I've only owned a PC pizza stone and it got a very dingy appearance with use but it baked "perfect" cookies, pizza's, pita breads, etc. I no longer have it as I moved and it got broke---unlike my iron skillet! I love cast-iron just wish it were not so heavy! I use my iron skillet when baking pies or quiche's- I simply place the pie pan inside the iron skillet than bake.... NO Undercooked bottom crust when you do it that way!
