Mine looks just like this one, stains and all. Soap has never hurt it and
is recommended on this page.

It's just a big unglazed tile. More importantly, it's thermal mass.

i can't see the pic but will show it to dh, he used his for fifteen years,
all manner of baked everything, he never used soap and it never stained, i
only know that because he commented on it after we baked some very fatty
pastries, then after the next pizza or so he said he was shocked it never
stained. Lee

I keep parsing the subject line as "Seasoning a baking stone and asking
it questions".

Excuse me, Mr. Stone, but I hear you get really heated up in the
afternoon...

LOL! Adding a subject line isn't one of my strengths. Just like "using
stuff up". ')

Thanks for the giggle.

I agree with that article, except what part of the oven to store it in
and constantly placing things on it. I keep my quarry tiles on the
bottom rack and never put anything directly on them unless it's
something that I want to give a definite blast of bottom heat, like a
souffle.
