Smeg 90cm Universal Gourmet Cooking Stone - Stone, Brown

No, this Smeg STONE9 pizza stone is specifically designed for 90 cm wide Smeg ovens and cookers. It may not fit or perform optimally in other oven sizes or brands.

For best results, the stone should be preheated with the oven for at least 30-60 minutes at your desired cooking temperature, typically the oven's maximum setting for pizza.

It is not recommended to use soap or detergents on the pizza stone, as they can be absorbed and affect the taste of your food. Use warm water and a gentle scraper or brush.

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the product documentation or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.

While possible, it's generally recommended to place pizzas with fewer toppings or par-baked bases directly on the hot stone. For very wet or heavily loaded frozen pizzas, a light dusting of flour or cornmeal may help prevent excessive sticking.

The dimensions of the Smeg STONE9 pizza stone are approximately 64 cm in width, 37.5 cm in depth, and 2.3 cm in height.

Yes, the stone is versatile and can be used for baking breads, pies, flans, biscuits, and other recipes that benefit from even, consistent heat.

Ensure the stone was fully preheated for at least 30-60 minutes at the highest oven temperature. Check that the oven is reaching its target temperature. Ensure the pizza is placed directly onto the hot stone, not on a cold tray.

Minor hairline cracks may appear over time due to thermal expansion and contraction; these are usually normal and do not affect performance. If significant cracks appear, or if the stone breaks, it should be replaced. Avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot stone onto a cold surface).

Ensure the stone is sufficiently hot before placing food on it. For delicate items or when starting out, a light dusting of flour or cornmeal can help prevent sticking. Ensure the stone is properly seasoned (if applicable, though this stone does not require traditional seasoning).

Inspect the stone upon delivery. If it is significantly damaged or broken, contact the retailer immediately for a replacement.
