As a totally blind person, isn't it hard to get the pizza off of the stone?

The first thing you will want to do is heat the stone in your oven to 400°F or more. With nothing in your oven except the stone. This will ensure that your stone does not crack when you use it. When you do use the stone, you should not need to use any oil. Regardless of if you use a pizza pan or tray. If you want to put anything on the stone, use cornmeal. It will act as a buffer between the crust and the stone. You should leave your stone in your oven all the time. Whether or not you are making pizza or not, it will distribute heat in your oven more evenly. Besides, it doesn't really get in the way, and it is fragile. If you discover that the stone is becoming dirty, remove it and wash it in the sink. You will need to heat the stone in your oven again. This will ensure that your stone has no water in it. I have a pizza stone, and I use it constantly. I love it!

Does it help distribute the heat evenly or does it add something to the taste?? Another question is; could you use the stone when baking bread or roles?? Or is there other things you can use the stone for baking than just pizza crust? I am looking forward to using it. When I heard about one I want to get one to have fun using it. Thanks in advance, for everyones help on the list. I enjoy reading everyones messages. I have learned so much and I look forward to all the information there is to learn. Have a good day..
