How long do you microwave the stone? I lost the heating instructions.

I tried the microwave method & it didn't get that hot. So I used the oven method, putting it in ahead of the rolls, then adding them when the timing was such they all came out together. Worked super well keeping the rolls hot for a long, long time that way. Don't have my instructions anymore, but it seems I needed to add a cup of water to the microwave or something like that & for 2-3 minutes.

microwave on high for 2 minutes. In the oven for 20 minutes at 300 degrees F. Hope this helps you. I love this stone, basket and cloth. Happy eating!!

simply place it in the oven at the desired temp. It is a granite stone so will heat up accordingly.

Covered on high for 3 min. Stir and cook on high for an additional 3 min. From me: have a deep bowl. Mine overflowed in the microwave.

I use a wooden pizza paddle. Well worth it. I roll the dough out on the paddle, then put some corn meal for lubrication under the rolled dough and let it rise for a few minutes. Then shake the dough on the paddle to loosen, place on toppings and bake for 10-12 minutes in a preheated 450 degree oven (stone always remains inside).

This is what's on the box I have. "Microwave Instructions: Thoroughly mix milk and cream with crème brûlée mix in a microwave safe 2 qt. bowl. Cook covered on high for 3 minutes. Stir, and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Follow directions above to complete." Hope this helps.

I'm assuming you pulled it out of the oven while it was still hot? I learned this lesson the hard way also. My first pizza stone was not an Old Stone product. Needs to cool down with the oven before removal. If it breaks, about the only thing to do is throw it away and buy a new one. Heat the stone up with the oven and let it cool down to ambient temp as the oven cools.

Hi JMC, The only reason I can think of is that maybe your stone was not fully heated. Though not guaranteed to cause this result, it is quite possible. Heat your stone for a minimum of 45 minutes to be sure it is at maximum temperature. When the dough hits the high heat it will grab for a second, but then release. Obviously, also be careful not to get cheese underneath your pie. Keep at it, you will succeed. The Emile Henry stone s a good product.

I'm not sure. Did you check the Wilton site? It wasn't very helpful for me with cooking instructions and use of the stone. Just the clean up of the stone.

Our oven takes five minutes to preheat and I usually leave the stone in there while it's doing so. After the oven is preheated (5mins) I usually let the stone cook for 10-15 more mins (15-20mins total time) before I put something on it. Then after the item (pizza mostly) is scheduled to be pulled out, I instead Leave it in there for another 10 minutes or so (I use my best judgement for when it should come out instead of what the instructions say to do) Thus a 20 min pizza can take 50-60 mins to cook, but its worth the wait.

It's best to heat it up at least a half hour before you use it. The stone will be really work at its best. Also if you have a gas stove place the stone on the bottom. If your stove is electric lower the rack to its lowest setting and place the stove there. Your pizza will be nice and crisp.

I heat it slightly higher than the recipe, then turn down the temp for cooking. So for baguettes, I heat to 515, then turn down to 500. For cake, I heat to 375, then turn to 350. This way the stone gets to the right temperature faster.

You can heat the crap out of it with no worries. I preheat mine for 3 hours in an outdoor Viking and get over 1,000 degrees F on the stone. Your oven won't phase this thing.

I think there are instructions on the package but I put it in a plastic bowl and microwaved it for 30 seconds on high, stirred it and repeated until it was melted. Cleanup was easy since it is soap. You could probably also do it on a stove but I'm not sure of the timing.

I heat mine for 1 min, 15 seconds, in a 1100 watt microwave. You have to be careful about heating it too long, or you will burn a hole in the material, and cause the packing to leak out. I am buying another one now, because this just happened to me. If you reheat it after using it, and you were still wearing it right before you reheated it, you must reduce the time in the microwave, from when you heat it from room temperature, because the extra heat from your body will cause it to take less time to heat. Also you can burn yourself if you overheat it.

As long as the oven takes to preheat. You keep the stone in the oven and when your ready to use it you already have it in the oven when you go to preheat the oven. Hope that helps.

I normally use mine in a 425 degree oven and put it in before turning oven on. Preheat for at least 30 minutes before placing pizza on the stone. The more you use it the better the stone gets. Never place a wet or moist stone in the oven, it will break.
