The interior is designed to season naturally over time, creating a nonstick surface that improves with use. You should avoid using soap on the stone, as it can absorb into the clay; simply clean it with hot water and the included scraper.

Yes, this stone is engineered to handle extreme temperature changes. You can safely transfer it from the freezer directly into a preheated oven without worrying about thermal shock.

While the material is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing with hot water and the provided scraper to preserve the seasoning layer that develops on the unglazed interior.

While the stone is durable, using metal utensils can leave marks or scratches on the unglazed surface. We recommend using nylon or wooden servers to keep the baking surface in pristine condition.

It is not strictly required, but preheating the stone can help achieve an even crispier crust. If you choose to preheat, ensure you place the dough into the hot pan carefully.

Clay stone retains heat differently than metal, often resulting in more even baking and a crispier bottom crust. You may find that your pies bake slightly differently, so keep an eye on your first few batches to adjust timing as needed.
