I have several pieces of unglazed stoneware, like the Pampered Chef stuff.
Can you bake in it? I mean, can I bake banana bread in the loaf pans? Will
it stick? I have only used the large flat stones for pizza and for baking
sourdough bread (and I always use parchment with bread).

Any tips, advice, would be greatly appreciated.

No direct experience with quick breads in unglazed stoneware, but you
might try PAM For Baking or just plain butter/flour.

Sounds like cookware meant to be thrown away. Doesn't it absorb everything
that's cooked in it?

Real unglazed bakers should be soaked in water before using.

for chicken.... but I knew people who also made bread in them. Just
follow the instructions.

There should have been seasoning instructions with the bake ware. Season
it by cooking something good and greasy--meatloaf is a good choice--and
clean the pan with a scraper and water, no soap, and dry. Kinda like
what you would do with cast...

I have never had a problem with anything sticking to my clay bake ware
once it's been seasoned.

I've baked in mine, and it works very nicely- very even browning

I have the exact stoneware that you are talking about and I use it for
meatloaves & breads without any problems whatsoever. Since mine is
seasoned from making the meatloaves, it has a non-stick type surface
(kind of like my mom's old cast-iron pan). It does NOT retain the
foods flavors - my breads don't taste like beef and my beef doesn't
taste like bananas.
I am speaking from experience on these, and I do happen to also be a
consultant for The Pampered Chef - just started a few months ago - but
I have had a bunch of their stone products for 10+ years.
