To prepare your stoneware pan for baking pizza, preheat your oven to the desired temperature (usually around 475°F).

For optimal results, bake pizza on a stoneware pan at a high temperature, typically around 475°F to 500°F. This helps achieve a crispy crust while ensuring the toppings are cooked thoroughly. Preheating the stoneware pan in the oven before adding the pizza can also enhance the crust's texture.
To clean your stoneware pan after baking pizza, allow it to cool completely. Then, use a plastic scraper or a soft sponge to remove any food residue. Avoid using soap, as it can absorb into the stoneware. Instead, rinse it with warm water and dry it thoroughly before storing.
