TIPS
Sprinkle a light dusting of baking flour on the stone to help season it
before baking the first time. The flour allows air to flow between the
stone and the item to be baked. Never use any type of oil on the
stone.
Use either the rough or smooth surface of the stone, depending on
your preference.
It is recommended to cook dough items on the rough surface.
Do not allow any liquid to come in contact with the stone.
Accidental spillage of liquid onto the stone during cooking
procedures is acceptable, but liquid should not be applied directly to
the stone.
To clean, after the stone is cool, use a nylon scraper or dry cloth to
remove crumbs or baked-on residue. Never use an abrasive sponge
or brush.
Never immerse the stone in any liquid.
With each use, the stone becomes seasoned and
darkens, making it more effective. The stone may
darken unevenly based on use, which is normal.
ATTENTION
Failure to follow the installation instructions and warnings regarding liquids contacting the
stone and stone being immersed in liquid may result in the baking stone disintegrating with
explosive force.
Handle the baking stone carefully. If the stone knocks a hard surface, it may crack or
develop hairline fractures that may expand over time and lead to premature product failure.
The stone is still usable and acceptable with hairline cracks.
Do not subject the stone to thermal shock. Foods cannot be thawed directly on the baking
stone.
Never place the baking stone over an open flame.
Only dough-based foods like pizza or bread should be baked directly on the stone surface.
Any other food that will be stone baked should be placed in a cooking vessel before
placing it on the stone.
