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.
How to remove stains:
Small stains can be cleaned 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.
To remove burnt on food, use a scouring pad or a scraper lightly
over stubborn areas.
If the accumulation is heavy, use a hard-abrasive paper like sand
paper to clean the surface.
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.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT immerse the 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.
For a deep clean:
Prepare a paste by mixing 1/3 cup of baking soda with 3
tablespoons of water. Apply the paste to the desired areas of the
pizza stone and leave for 15-20 minutes. Scrape off excess paste
and food from the surface of the pizza stone. Using a damp cloth,
wipe off excess food and dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the viewing window:
Always wait for the unit to cool down completely before cleaning
the window.
The viewing window will darken from cooking vapors with ongoing
use.
