Place the stone in a cold oven (I keep my stone in the oven all the time),
and preheat at least 30 minutes. I don't generally adjust the baking time.
The object is not to speed up cooking, but to improve the crust of most
things baked on the stone. Your oven temperature remains the same as if the
stone wasn't there.
