How to clean a pizza stone?

Enlighten me please.

 

[chef willie]

my understanding is hot water & a stiff brushing, never use soap as it gets into the pores

Just wipe it down with water. If you crush it one day with a lot of cheese. Just use a Putty knife and water. Treat it like a cast iron pan. The more you use it, the slicker it becomes

I've put them in the oven on the Clean cycle and they come out looking new.

Hot water and a knife or maybe a metal spatula and you're good to go!

Do you folks season your stones?

 

[robcava]

I don't. I use semolina flour to keep the pizza/bread/whatever from sticking. it ends up seasoned from the pizza as long as you dont use soap on it.

The only way I know of is to take to a ceramic place and have it glazed. Other then that just use it. Took about 6months of a heavy use to get mine were it needed to be. And I make a batch of bread about every 3-4days
