To season the new pan wash in warm, soapy water and quickly dry. Then wipe oil on the inside and outside surfaces of the pan and allow it to soak for 30 minutes. After it has soaked bake it at regular temperatures. Do not over bake and do not wash off excess oil. Just wipe. The oil residue and any additional oil added before baking makes the pan stick-resistant.

Prior to using aluminum pizza screens for the first time, a release agent or oil is recommended to prevent sticking.

Screens can also be seasoned by wiping oil on the surface of the pan and allowing the oil to soak for 30 minutes. Then bake the screen at regular cooking times and temperatures. Do not wash off excess oil – just wipe. The oil residue and any additional oil added before baking makes the screen stick resistant. The screen is now ready for use.

Aluminum pizza screens should be washed by hand using a mild detergent (preferably one made specifically for aluminum). After washing, pat the screen dry and store appropriately (see below). To insure proper sanitation, heat pan to cooking temperature in oven after each wash and then reapply release agent or oil to prevent sticking.

* Note: Do not expose aluminum screens to dishwashers or high alkaline / acidic detergents. Also, do not use abrasive pads as they can scratch the aluminum and create rust.

Storing the pizza screens in a pizza screen rack is recommended. The rack helps by protecting the screens from being accidentally bent and allows easy access within safe storage.

This “all-natural” stone requires no seasoning or conditioning. Simply rinse in warm water before first use and allow the stone to dry thoroughly. Most recipes suggest preheating stone 15-20 minutes for even cooking and to reduce baking time.

Preheat stone by placing cool stone in a cold oven. Heat oven to temperature indicated in recipe and place product on preheated stone as directed. Because stone retains heat, always wear oven mitts while handling. Place it on a serving rack to avoid heat damage to countertops or table surfaces.

Prepare pizza or other baked goods on a flat surface such as a cookie sheet or pizza peel. Lightly sprinkle stone with cornmeal and slide pizza or dough onto stone. Do not use flour as it will burn on the stone.

The stone is freezer, microwave and oven safe. To prevent cracking, avoid temperature extremes from direct to oven or from oven to cold water.

Do not place stone over an open flame, or in broiler. Do not cut directly on stone.

Before cleaning allow to cool completely. Then remove baked on foods and rinse in warm water. To avoid soapy aftertaste, do not use soap or detergent. Let stone air dry thoroughly before using again. Do not soak the stone or clean in a dishwasher.

The pizza stone will darken gradually and retain some staining with use. These are a part of the stone’s natural seasoning and will not harm it or affect the taste of food.

Handle the stone with care to prevent chipping or breaking.
