So...last night I had my stone in the sink as I was going to be rinsing with & scrubbing with the metal brush that you can buy for it. However, before I was able to do my brother (who is currently staying with me) started to wash his plate in the sink & dumped some soapy water onto the stone. I quickly rinsed/flushed the stone with water for a good 5-10 minutes, scrubbed with the steel brush & rinsed again. Am I going to be okay here or is this thing going to be toast? I think I'll stop trying to "clean" things from here on out and just burn stuff off of it. Thanks guys.

What I'd do is let it dry out, then fire up the Egg & put the stone in there for awhile to see if you can "bake out" any of the remaining fumes from the soap. Take it out & inspect & smell it & see how it looks & smells.
More than likely, it should be OK.
Or, you can just do as Nolaegghead suggested & go ahead & use it to make a pizza w/out doing a "bake out" on it. If it was me, I'd do the bake out first, just to give myself a peace of mind.
HTH,
Rob

I was told that water is the ultimate solvent." It will get rid of anything and therefore you dont need soap" (we were talking about washing glasses in a german beerhouse). So i said "removes everything?". "Yes. Except maybe wax from lipstick."
Ok. I said "So wash the lipstick off with soap then wash the soap off with water, which removes everything as you said, which includes soap"
My point is that soap is a surfactant. It'll tighten up around and surround grease. It doesnt 'soak' into something like ceramic so much as pull grease and oils from it. If anything, it'd sit on the surface
Try not to use it because you dont need to. You can leave some oil and grease behind (call it 'seasoning'). But if you erred and used soap, it will rinse off. If it doesnt suds up, there's no soap left.
No worries
Pizza stones are very porous - they're like sponges that you can't squeeze. Soap is hard to rinse out of it. That's why the instructions say don't use soap.

More likely a scenario is someone cleans the stone by over soaking it in water, then throws it in a hot egg and it cracks.
All ya gotta know is don't use soap on the stone. Don't soak it in water.
