Product Information

Full details

This Smeg STONE9 gourmet cooking stone is designed for home cooks looking to achieve authentic pizzeria-quality results with their Smeg 90cm oven. Its key benefit is enabling rapid, even cooking of pizzas in 3-5 minutes, replicating the effect of a wood-fired oven. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with 90cm Smeg ovens and cookers, requiring users to confirm fitment. Beyond pizza, it's versatile for baking breads, pies, flans, and even breakfast items, offering a seamless aesthetic with its handle-less design.

FAQs

Can I use this pizza stone in any oven?

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.

How long does the stone need to preheat?

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.

Can I use soap to clean the pizza stone?

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.

What is the warranty period for this product?

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

Can I put frozen pizzas directly on the stone?

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.

What are the dimensions of the pizza stone?

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.

Can I use this stone for baking cakes or cookies?

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

Troubleshooting

Pizza base is not crisp

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.

Stone has developed cracks

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).

Food is sticking to the stone

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).

Stone arrived damaged

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

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • This cooking stone is specifically designed for use with Smeg 90 cm ovens and cookers.
  • Ensure your oven has sufficient internal space to accommodate the stone's dimensions: 64 cm (Width) x 37.5 cm (Depth).

Setup:

  1. Preheating is Crucial: For optimal results, the pizza stone must be preheated thoroughly. Place the stone in the oven *before* turning it on.
  2. Gradual Heating: Set your oven to the desired cooking temperature (often the maximum setting for pizza). Allow the stone to heat up gradually with the oven for at least 30-60 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature throughout.
  3. Placement: Position the stone on the oven rack at the level recommended for your specific oven model or recipe.

Care & Cleaning:

  • Cool Down: Always allow the stone to cool down completely before cleaning. Never place a hot stone in cold water, as this can cause thermal shock and crack the stone.
  • Avoid Soap: Do not use harsh detergents, soaps, or abrasive cleaners, as these can be absorbed by the stone and impart unwanted flavors to your food.
  • Scraping: For burnt-on food, use a spatula or a dedicated stone scraper to gently remove residue once the stone is cool.
  • Rinsing: If necessary, rinse the stone with warm water only. You can use a soft brush or a non-abrasive scourer for stubborn bits.
  • Drying: Allow the stone to air dry completely or dry it with a clean cloth before storing.
  • Storage: Store the stone in a dry place, ideally flat, to prevent warping or damage.
