Equal heat dispersion minimizes hot spots during baking so that the crust does not get too crispy in certain spots. If you’re baking many consecutive pizzas, you should also reheat the pizza stone between every 2 pizzas. The temperature of the stone will drop when you add a cold (room temperature) pizza, and will therefore not be hot enough to make more than 2 crispy pizzas right after each other. Then each pizza will get a little less crispy. I, therefore, recommend letting the stone reheat 10-15 minutes after you’ve baked two pizzas.

It’s a fairly inexpensive tool that’s going to make it both easier and safer to transfer your pizza.

It’s not stipulated how best to clean this stone, but as it’s porous cordierite, we’d suggest using the brush method and never soaking it.Cordierite is used by people who have lost a sense of belief in themselves.
