Is it best to preheat your oven when using stoneware?

In summary, it is recommended to preheat your stoneware before use for 10-15 minutes in a conventional oven. It should not be preheated in the microwave and it is best to preheat it before each use for even cooking and best results. Forgetting to preheat may result in longer cooking time and unevenly cooked food.

When using stoneware in oven, is it safe to preheat the oven? I know many people do, but I heard the stone can crack going to a high temp so quickly. So........what's best?
 
Yeah I've done it for years, in general no issue. The only time it's a problem is if you preheat and then throw a frozen rising crust pizza on it.
 
Don't set a regular frozen pizza on the stone (in essence "chilling it") while you are preheating the oven. I always tell my customers to wait for the oven to preheat and THEN put the pizza on the stone just before it goes in to bake.
 
Hi there! As a pampered chef consultant, I can assure you that it is safe to preheat your oven when using stoneware. Our stoneware is designed to withstand high temperatures and rapid changes in temperature. However, to ensure the longevity of your stoneware, we recommend placing it in a cold oven and allowing it to heat up gradually with the oven. This will help prevent any potential cracks. Happy cooking!
