As a pizza maker we use a metal brush attached to a handle and and get a bowl of hot water and put salt in the bowl and dissolve it. Dip a rag in the bowl or water put on the brush and slowly brush back and forth on a hot plate not cold and it will be perfectly clean from any stuck on foods as well as the black.

Thanks @Bob Bond for your comment. Your comment highlights that not all pizza stones are the same. As a word of caution, stones meant for continuous commercial use are not the same as the stones in smaller domestic focused ovens. The commercial stones are much thicker, heavier and made of different materials. OONI does not recommend using water for their stones. The stones are porous and if not dried completely they can crack when heat is re-applied. The simple method of using pyrolytic cleaning for smaller portable pizza ovens is the safest as shown in the video.

Thank you for this... my first bake was an absolute mess, so this is incredibly helpful!

Cracking the stone. Be careful not to shock that stone to cracking with a sudden temperature change… when handling. See the many articles on “why my pizza stone cracked.” They all have to do with the sensitivity of the stone to temperature changes, placing a hot stone onto cool surfaces, washing stones on water, etc. Good luck!

i would like to give you my tomato base recipe. One can of peeled plum tomatoes 4 table spoons tomato puree Half teaspoon ground cumin Half teaspoon of freshly ground fennel seeds A pinch of salt and chili 1 heaped teaspoon sugar Liquidise the can of tomatoes and pour into the ingredients. Only use one soup spoon per small pizza I find this'll be the closest recipe that the Italians will not tell you. I got this from the husband who stole it from the Italian wife.

@Christian Kretzschmar turning the stone upside down doesn't clean the stone completely but is good if you are pushed for time. Using the technique I demonstrated in this video will clean the stone completely but takes a bit of time.

Temperature is the key. You need 500 degrees Celsius to achieve pyrolytic cleaning. If you can achieve that in your BBQ then that will work. My guess is that most BBQs can get to about 350 degrees Celsius which won’t pyrolytically clean the stone

Check out this video that I did on the Koda 16. OONI Koda 16 - How to Clean the Stone kzread.info/dash/bejne/mXqB28eHl9eYe9o.html For that oven I needed to use a brush. If using a brush the OONI pizza oven cleaning brush is ideal. You need a brush with soft metal bristles. Don’t use a brush made for cleaning steel. If you can’t find the OONI brush then make sure it is a brush suitable for cleaning Pizza stones

Does this also work foe a pizza stone in a regular stove oven?

@FOODGOOD

@UofM student this probably won’t work in a regular kitchen oven. The reason is the maximum temperature that the oven reaches. Most domestic ovens reach a maximum operating temperature of 250-300 degrees Celsius. You need 500 degrees to achieve pyrolytic cleaning. The OONI Koda operates at 500 degrees Celsius so it is capable of pyrolytic cleaning once you have finished cooking. Some domestic ovens are able to achieve pyrolytic cleaning temperature for the purpose of cleaning the oven but they normally have an upper operating cooking temperature of 250-300 degrees Celsius. I don’t know if you can put something in those ovens, like a pizza stone, for cleaning. I would tend to think that those ovens capable of pyrolytic cleaning are not designed to clean other items put in the oven, but I’m only guessing.

My Ooni stone is not square/rectangular, it has "tabs" at the left and right outside edge of the oven, so I can't turn it sideways or flip front to back to burn off the debris. Advice?

You can do that. 500 degrees Celsius will kill anything. The only thing is that you’ll be leaving bits of food on the stone in the meantime

in essence, it's the same theory as burning old carbon buildup off a cast iron pan. it takes a lot of fuel (and time) to do, but it works. cast iron can be used in an oven's self cleaning cycle, which gets extremely hot. but it will smoke the hell out of your house. lol

Just a tip never remove the stone … always a chance of cracking. Leave the stone inside while cleaning

@FOODGOOD

Жыл бұрын

Yes and no. Every time you handle the stone you risk cracking it however mine is coming up to three years old and it is used at least once a week and, like in the video, I rotate it to clean it thoroughly. If you are careful it’s not a problem. What I think is more important is making sure that the stone doesn’t move around when not in use. I use bubble wrap that I shove into the oven (when the oven is cold) so that it ensures that the stone can’t move. To be clear, I don’t wrap the stone in bubble wrap but rather I wrap the gas regulator in bubble wrap and push that into the oven so that it in turn keeps the stone in place so that when I move it or transport it the stone stays firmly in place

I literally just got my stone and the first thing i did is wash it with soap.

It's best NOT to wet the stone, instead follow the instructions on tempering the stone. These will be included in the box. Tempering the stone will help reduce internal stress before you start using it. If the you followed this video you will see that by firing up the oven, EVERYTHING is burnt off. This is the best way to clean the stone. The problem with getting this, or any other pizza stone wet, is that the stones are typically porous and therefore they will hold moisture in them when exposed to water. The moisture inside the stone is difficult to dry out properly. If they are not allowed to dry properly, then the residual moisture inside the stone will possibly lead to a failure (cracking) of the stone when the water heats up and turns into steam. Since the stone is also brittle the cracks usually split the stone into two pieces.

Try using olive oil when cleaning
