Pizza stone
Bought a new pizza stone (BGE). Cooked bread tonight, first use. Tasted like ceramic. Should it be seasoned before using? We washed it very well before using.

Oil it, let it heat, pull it, oil it and it will be fine - never allow soap near a stone - it will soon be black and neutral.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

ceramic stones should be used without any seasoning. No soap!!!!!!Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
Yeah if you used soap its likely not going to be that great. My stone is almost like a nonstick cast iron pan its seasoned so well. Just scrape any cheese or whatnot off that gets on there.

They do not wick away moisture. The stone has lots of stored heat that rapidly conducts to the dough. The moisture in the dough is actually driven away from the stone. The moisture turns to steam, expanding the little air bubbles to bigger ones known as oven spring. A ceramic stone at 500-800º is not going to pick up any moisture.Southeast Florida - LBGE
