Self clean is super high heat. My friend put her dcb in the oven at 475 degrees to finish cooking something. She had it in for about 45 minutes and the stone broke.

My director puts water in her stone (if it's one she can use with water) and puts it in the oven for about 45 minutes on 400. Then she lets it cool down and washes as usual. No problems. The heat from the oven at 400 for that length of time should kill mostly anything.

I put my DCB in the microwave with water for about 10 minutes. I let it cool down some and take it out. I pour the water out and let the stone dry.
Since it is still hot, it practically dries itself and I feel like it is cleaner. No issues with it!
 
I know this is an old post, but a customer told me her Deep Covered Baker has black specks and she mentioned that is looked like mold. I told her to scrub with a baking soda past. For those that had this problem before did this do the trick? Is there anyone with any other suggestions on this?
