Ooni pizza stone care: dry-brush, cool and skip soap or water

A porous pizza stone can absorb water and detergent. Ooni recommends dry cleaning after cooling and, when appropriate, controlled heat to burn off stuck-on food.

Do not soak a darkened pizza stone to make it look new. Ooni says discoloration can be normal; raised burnt debris is the issue. Cleaning and whether a stone can be flipped depend on the oven model, especially rotating-stone versions. Follow your specific oven manual before heat-cleaning or removal.

0 / 6 done

1. Identify the pizza oven and stone model. Do not assume every stone, especially a rotating stone, can be removed or flipped in the same way.
2. Finish cooking, switch off or shut off fuel, and allow the oven and stone to cool completely. Never pour cold water on a hot stone or handle it while hot.
3. On the cooled stone, gently remove raised food debris with a manufacturer-recommended brush or scraper. Avoid aggressive metal scouring that gouges the surface.
4. Sweep away loose residue and finish with a clean dry cloth or paper towel. Never wash the stone with water, soap or detergent or put it in a dishwasher.
5. For stubborn burnt material, Ooni describes a high-heat burn-off. Use that method only as authorized in your specific model manual; supervise heating and remove ash only after complete cooling.
6. Flip a removable stone only if your particular model permits it. Stop use and consult the maker if cracks make the stone unstable or unsafe.
