∙ 12y agoA pizza stone is usually a flat stone which is used to give even heat to the whole pizza. You can also find pizza stones made from earthenware or ceramic. You can cook a pizza in your oven without a pizza stone but you will get much better results when you do use one. Especially if you like a crisp crust, since a pizza stone will absorb moisture from the crust.

How do you clean mold from a pizza stone or do I need to through it away?
If a pizza stone is allowed to get moldy it is probably best to just give it a toss, because removing the mold would require using harsh chemicals which would be absorbed into the porous stone. So how is it even possible for a pizza stone to get moldy in the first place? It sounds as though the pizza stone was washed with water and put away wet or damp (in a dark place) and not used for a lengthily time. Mold is a fungi that can grow on just about anything, including a pizza stone. Mold thrives in areas that are damp, humid and sheltered from sunlight. The best way to prevent mold from forming on a pizza stone is to keep the stone dry. Personally, I never wash my pizza stone. I just wait until it cools off and then brush anything that's baked on with a stiff brush. I hope this helps.

Can you put a wet pizza stone in the oven?
a pizza stone is a tool that you use to cook pizza on or cookies, soo u place the cookie dough or pizza on the stone(if using pizza make sure you remove the plastic and paper so it can cook) The5thbeatle added: The idea behind a pizza stone is to distribute the heat evenly accross the pizza base and secondly to extract the moisture, so that your pizza dough is crispy. The pizza stone has to be preheated to a certain temperature to work and that often means leaving the oven on for quite a while before you begin to cook. Always place your stone in a cold oven and then turn the oven on. The purpose of this is to allow the stone to absorb the heat evenly. Assemble your pizza on a cookie sheet while the oven (and pizza stone) is heating up. Toss some cornmeal onto a cookie sheet to prevent the pizza dough from sticking, and place your dough on the cookie sheet. Put on the sauce, toppings and cheeses. Too much sauce or too many veggies will cause the dough to be mushy. Shake the cookie sheet often to make sure the dough doesn't stick. Open the oven door when it's finished preheating and slide the pizza onto the stone. Cook your pizza for desired time, then slide pizza back onto the cookie sheet when it's finished cooking. To clean your pizza stone, use a knife or a fork to take off the obvious pieces of pizza stuck to the stone and wash it in warm water without soap. Any form of detergent or soap will seep into the material and it will make an unwelcome addition to your next pizza.
