Molded Pizza Stone: Investigating Unusual Customer Report

[lisabrown_pc]

I have a customer that says her pizza stone has molded. I have not seen it. Has anyone ever heard of the stoneware doing this?

 

[ShelbyMichalek]

Um, that shouldn't happen at all. Was she scraping it clean?

 

[cookingwithdot]

Like as in moldy? Eww ... never heard of that either! I wonder if she has been cleaning it really hard after every use? I'd give her the 880# to call & discuss with HO.

yeah, make sure it is actually moldy and not "seasoned" like it should be. Doesn't harbor bacteria of any kind so find that hard to believe unless I saw it.

Heck I never thought about that :blushing:
I agree, you need to ask her that.

I have had some weird seasoning patterns before, this would have been my first guess.

The only reason I could think of is if the customer thought "no soap" meant "no washing" and left food particles on the stone.

I was thinking the same as Noora maybe it's food that is caked on there and that is what's moldy.

it happens...I left a small potted plant sitting in one of my bar pans while we went on vacation...came back to a little bit of mold. Nothing will take care of it, so I don't use it for baking anymore...good thing I have spares
