Cleaning firebrick pizza stones - do not remove stains with water!
Before you can clean your fireclay pizza stone, you must first
let it
cool down
well . In this way you not only protect yourself from burns, but also the stone, as it is exposed to strong tension when it is hot. Under no circumstances should you clean a chamotte pizza stone under running water. Pizza
stones don't belong in the dishwasher either
. Because the firebrick cannot tolerate too much water at all. You should also never use washing-up liquid, other chemical cleaners or even high-pressure cleaners to clean your firebrick pizza stone. It is sufficient to
wipe the cooled pizza stone with a damp cloth
.
Also
interesting
: if you skip this cleaning step, you will ruin your kitchen knives.
After using a pizza stone, it is quite normal that it no longer looks new.
Burned-in leftovers or
discoloration of the stone
make the
charm
of a pizza stone complete.
You can remove coarse residues relatively easily with a ceramic hob scraper.
However, be careful not to damage the pizza stone.
For reasons of hygiene, you don't need to worry - the temperatures in the oven will definitely kill any germs.

Cleaning Cordierite Pizza Stone - How To Remove Stains
Even a cordierite pizza stone must not be cleaned with washing-up liquid.
In contrast to firebricks, cordierite pizza stones have a
waterproof coating
- some only on one side.
That is why a glazed cordierite stone can also be used for roasting
, unlike a pizza stone made of fireclay
.
If your pizza stone is completely coated, you can safely clean it with a brush under running water.
However, if only one side is waterproof, you must ensure that the cordierite stone does not soak up water on the other side.
Because then it threatens to tear.
