Produkt overview
The Unicook 16 Inch Round Pizza Stone is designed for baking crisp crust pizzas, bread, and cookies in both ovens and grills. Constructed from natural Cordierite, this heavy-duty stone is sintered at 2100°F for enhanced durability, heat retention, and thermal shock resistance. It features invisible micro-pores that draw moisture from dough, ensuring an optimal crispy crust.
This pizza stone is heat resistant up to 1,450°F (787°C) and comes with a multi-purpose plastic scraper for convenience.

Vigtige sikkerhedsoplysninger
- Never use soap or detergent to clean the stone. The porous nature of the Cordierite material will absorb cleaning agents, which can affect the taste of food and potentially damage the stone.
- Never season Cordierite bread stone with oil or grease. This can lead to smoking and an unpleasant odor during use.
- Allow the stone to cool completely before handling or cleaning to prevent thermal shock and potential injury.
- Do not cut directly on the stone surface to avoid scratching or damaging the stone.
Opsætning
Before first use, ensure the pizza stone is clean and dry. No special seasoning is required for Cordierite stones.
Placement in Oven or Grill:
- Place the pizza stone on the middle rack of your oven or on the grill grates. Ensure there is at least 1 inch of clearance on all sides for proper air circulation.
- For optimal results, place the stone in a cold oven or grill before preheating. This allows the stone to heat up gradually with the appliance, reducing the risk of thermal shock.

Betjeningsvejledning
Preheating the Stone:
- Preheat your oven or grill with the stone inside to the desired cooking temperature (typically 400-550°F or 200-290°C) for at least 30-60 minutes. The longer the preheat, the better the heat retention and crispier the crust.
- A well-preheated stone will ensure a quick and even bake, preventing sogginess.
Baking with the Stone:
- Prepare your pizza or bread dough. For easy transfer, dust your pizza peel generously with flour or cornmeal.
- Carefully slide the prepared pizza or bread onto the preheated stone using a pizza peel.
- Bake according to your recipe. Cooking times will vary based on the thickness of the dough and toppings.
- Once cooked, use the pizza peel to remove the item from the stone.

Opretholdelse
Rensning:
- Allow the stone to cool completely before attempting to clean it.
- Scrape off any excess food residue with the included plastic scraper or a stiff brush.
- Hand wash the stone with warm water only. Do not use soap, detergent, or put it in a dishwasher.
- For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be used. Apply the paste, let it sit, then scrub gently and rinse with water.
- Staining and darkening of the stone over time are normal and will not affect its performance.

Opbevaring:
- Ensure the stone is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
- Store the stone in a clean, dry place where it is protected from accidental drops or impacts.
Fejlfinding
- Pizza sticking to the stone: Ensure the stone is fully preheated to the recommended temperature. Use sufficient flour or cornmeal on your pizza peel to facilitate easy transfer.
- Stone cracking: This is often due to rapid temperature changes (thermal shock). Always place the stone in a cold oven/grill and allow it to heat up and cool down gradually. Avoid placing cold food on a very hot stone directly from the freezer without proper preheating of the food.
- Unpleasant odor during first use: While Unicook stones are designed to be odor-free, a slight manufacturing odor might be present initially. Ensure good ventilation during the first few uses. If a strong odor persists, ensure no oils or detergents were used on the stone.
