How to Clean Your Pizza Stone

Do you love making pizza at home? If you do, you probably use a pizza stone to get that perfect crispy crust. But after making a delicious pizza, it’s important to clean your pizza stone properly. Here’s a fun and easy guide to help you keep your pizza stone in great shape!

Step 1: Scrape Off Food Bits

After you’ve enjoyed your pizza, there might be some leftover bits of cheese or crust stuck to the stone. Use a spatula or a brush with stiff bristles to gently scrape off these food particles. Be careful not to scratch the stone!

Step 2: Skip the Soap

If there are any stubborn stains on your pizza stone, use warm water and a gentle scrub brush to clean them off. This will help remove any marks without damaging the stone. Remember, patience is key!

Step 4: Let It Dry

Once you’ve finished cleaning, let your pizza stone air dry completely before putting it away. This helps prevent any moisture from causing damage or affecting your next pizza-making adventure.
