Function:
The preheated pizza stone absorbs the moisture from the pizza dough and this, coupled with the constant temperature
in the oven, guarantees a wonderfully crispy, Italian-style pizza. The stone is also excellently suited for preparing bread,
rolls, or other baked goods – homemade or deep-frozen (For this, please follow the instructions under the item “Use”).
Use:
1.
Before using for the first time
, clean the pizza stone with a damp cloth.
2. Do
not use any detergents
. For additional instructions: see “
Cleaning and Care
“.
3. Allow the pizza stone to dry.
4. Place the pizza stone and stand on a rack or cookie sheet on the lowest rail of the
cold oven
.
Never
place the pizza
stone directly on the floor of the oven or on a cookie sheet. Naturally, you can also only use the existing rack from
your oven.
5.
Set the oven to 200°C / 400°F and preheat the pizza stone for approx. 15 minutes.
6. If the desired temperature has been reached, place the prepared pizza on the hot stone. Use a heat-resistant pizza
peel made of wood or metal for this, which you have previously sprinkled with flour.
TIP:
Until you have some practice, you can roll out the pizza on baking paper, with which the pizza can more easily
be lifted onto the pizza peel and placed on the stone.
The baking paper must always be removed before baking
,
however, as it disrupts the function of the pizza stone.
7. It is also possible to prepare a deep-frozen pizza on the stone.
8.
Attention: Deep-frozen pizzas should be thawed completely before baking in order to avoid temperature shocks
that could damage the stone.
9. After the cooking time, remove the pizza from the oven with the peel.
10. Be careful not to burn yourself on the hot oven or the pizza stone when you are placing the pizza on the stone or
removing this from the oven. Wear the appropriate protective gloves.
Cleaning and Care
• Allow the pizza stone to slowly cool in the oven in order to avoid a temperature shock.
Never
use cold water to cool
off the stone.
• After cooling, carefully remove the pizza stone from the oven and place it on a cloth or board for cleaning in order to
avoid scratching of sensitive surfaces.
• Flour residue can be wiped off with a moist rag. In case of stubborn residues, allow the stone to soak in warm water.
These can then be removed with a firm scouring sponge or a dishwashing brush.
• However,
please do not use
detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these are absorbed into the stone and can negatively
affect baking results with the next use.
•
Never
clean the stone in the dishwasher.
