CARE AND Cleaning the pizza stone
Pizza stones are porous and will absorb fats and oils. It is normal for pizza stones to accumulate stains from dripping cheese and fatty toppings. This will not affect the taste of the pizza or the performance of the stone, however, cooking residue may create excess smoke and odor to form.
To remove stains, cool stone completely and follow instructions below:
1.Small stains can be cleaned easily by scrubbing with a toothbrush and a paste made from equal parts of baking soda and water. Work in small circles until stains are removed. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry completely before reusing.
2.To remove burnt on food, use a scouring pad lightly over stubborn areas.
3.If the accumulation is heavy, use a hard abrasive paper like sand paper to clean the surface.
4.Make sure to wipe the stone clean with a damp cloth and allow plenty of time for the stone to dry out completely before use.
NOTE
Do not immerse the pizza stone in water or use cleaning liquids or detergents. Immersing the pizza stone in water could cause it to crack. Cleaning liquids or detergents will absorb into the stone and transfer to the pizza during baking.
