Help! My Pizza Stone is "Leaking" - Can it Be Fixed?

[thatgirl2120]

One of my customers called me and told me that her pizza stone is "leaking". She said it keeps dripping like crazy--she thinks it might be grease of some kind but she's not really sure.

Is there any way to fix this? I mean, I can do a product adjustment for her to get a replacement, but I know that she has it very seasoned and would like to keep her current one if there is just a way to fix this one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

She needs to replace it. There are hairline fractures that are causing this.

I made the pesto party squares recently and the whole bottom of my rectangle baker felt kind of greasy afterwards.
Has anyone had this happen before? It wasn't leaking like crazy - as mentioned above - but felt greasy on the bottom.
Is it possible mine has a crack too, or can oily things seep through?

My rectangle stone is doing this. I use it for baking cookies all the time. I've noticed it developing a seasoning layer on the underside of it--you can see circles in all the spots that I have cookies positioned on the top side. This last time I used it, I noticed a ton of moisture on the bottom of the stone. It was puddles of water or oil in the same cookie circle spots. I'm going to call HO and get it replaced. This one I bought almost 3 years ago from my now-director.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about your customer's pizza stone leaking. It sounds like there may be a buildup of oils or grease on the stone that is causing it to drip. Here are a few tips to try and fix the issue before resorting to a replacement:1. Thoroughly clean the pizza stone: The first thing I would recommend is to clean the stone with hot water and a gentle dish soap. Make sure to scrub off any visible grease or oils that may be causing the leakage. You can also try using a scraper or brush to remove any stubborn buildup.2. Use a baking soda paste: If the first step doesn't work, you can make a paste using equal parts baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stone and let it sit for a few hours before rinsing it off. This can help to absorb any oils or grease that may be causing the leakage.3. Try a vinegar soak: Another option is to soak the stone in a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar for a few hours. This can help to break down any buildup on the stone.4. Re-season the stone: If the above steps don't work, you may need to re-season the stone. This involves coating the stone with a thin layer of oil and placing it in the oven at a high temperature for about an hour. This will help to create a non-stick surface and may help to prevent future leakage.I hope these tips help to fix
