Common questions
What makes a good budget pizza stone?
Cordierite material, adequate thickness, and a shape that fits your oven. Cordierite resists the thermal shock that cracks cheap terracotta, so a stone like this Pizza Divertimento one survives hard preheats. A rectangular shape uses oven space better than round. Those basics, plus a strong review record, are what to look for on a budget.
How do I clean a cordierite pizza stone?
Let it cool fully, then scrape off stuck bits with a bench scraper and wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. Do not use soap, which the porous stone absorbs, and do not soak it. Stains and darkening are normal and harmless; they do not affect how the stone bakes.
