My stone has a strong chemical smell - what should I do?

It may be due to soap usage. To remove the smell, rinse the stone with warm water and then bake it at the highest temperature your oven allows for at least 1 hour. This will burn off any absorbed residues and eliminate unwanted odors.

My baking stone has dark spots on it. Is this normal?

Yes, spots are normal because the surface is porous, and the stone absorbs oils over time. These spots do not affect performance. If desired, you can remove them by baking the stone at a high temperature to burn off any residue.

Is it possible to cut pizza directly on the stone?

We do not recommend cutting pizza directly on the stone, as this can damage both the stone and the knives. It is better to transfer the pizza to a cutting board after baking.

Why isn't my pizza crust getting crispy?

Make sure the pizza stone is preheated for at least 30-60 minutes and the oven temperature is set high (500°F or 260°C). Also, avoid using too much sauce or wet toppings, which can make the crust soggy.

Why is my pizza stone cracked?

Cracks are usually caused by thermal shock, which occurs when the stone is exposed to sudden temperature changes. Always place the stone in a cold oven and allow it to heat up gradually. Also, do not place a hot stone in cold water.
