I scrubbed mine with baking soda, salt and water then rinsed well and put in the oven to dry before using. After each use I rinse when cool and place in the oven to dry before putting away

This sounds like good advice.Personally, I now put the pizza onto a baking sheet and then onto the stone.The stone looks pretty gross though - I just reckon it is 'seasoned' as it makes great pizza.

i scrape off anything thats left on it and give it a quick rinse but i do leave it on top of the stove overnight to airdry,love using these stones,i have 2,that i use all the time and wouldn't go back to oven trays.

Used my pizza stone once, years ago, and couldn't get it clean. Therefore, it's was out the door.There is no need to use one.

I think they kind of take on the flavours of cooking & oils, which is ok, my best baking dishes (some loaf tins which are 30 years old have a nice almost oily coating. they never rust or mould,you don't need to scrub them just wash in warm soapy water). The pizza stone may improve with age. Putting in the sun might help with the mould though.

I cook my pizzas at full heat, after leaving the stone in the oven for around an hour. Does depend on the pizza you are cooking - mine are the more traditional thin crust ones that will cook in a few minutes.

i heat my for ages too,the dough starts cooking straightaway when you put it on the stone,and they don't take too long to cook at all.

Oh how embarrassing, I have just tried to read my last comment and see it's ridden with mistakes.so sorry. I cook the thin crust too, I think I will get the stone out again and give it another try.
