Question:

baking polymer clay with something over it?

i made this little figurine for my grandmothers birthday, and every time i bake a charm it comes out dirty and horrible x'c even if the oven is clean~! i don't want that to happen to this charmI was going to clean our oven out but my mom forgot to get the stuff for it gt;.gt; so question isCan i bake my charms with something over it like a glass bowl to keep the dirt out or something like that??

Answer:

I just made stuffed shells this week and just used cheese-ricotta and mozzarella and parmesan in itThen put sauce over it and baked it.
I combine ground beef with frozen spinach ( thawed), ricotta cheese, and marinara sauceThis I stuff into the shellsI pour a light layer of marinara in a pan, then the stuffed shells, and then cover with more marinara and bakecovered.
I am not sure what your question isSome things I use are cheese filled and I spoon sauce with chucks of meat in it over themIn your cheese mixture you can mix in just about anything from veggies to bits of sausageA tip for filling them is to take a ziploc bag put the mixture in it and snip off the corner then just squeeze the cheese in the shells like using a pastry bag

Sure - you can make a tent of aluminum foilOf course, what you maybe seeing is material picked up during the making which is darkening during the baking - it is hard to believe that an oven could be so filthy as to just shed on the polymer clay at the low baking temps that it usesPerhaps it is a gas oven with badly cleaned burner orifices and is producing bits of carbon (soot) floating around in the oven.
