How to Use the Pizza Stone: Guide for Perfect Baking
Before using your pizza stone, you should clean it. Then, place the stone in a cold oven on a rack positioned on the bottom shelf. It is important to ensure the stone is not directly on the bottom of the oven or on a baking sheet to allow air to circulate freely.
Once you have placed the pizza stone in the oven, preheat it at around 240 degrees Celsius for at least 30 minutes. During preheating, the stone absorbs the heat and stores it. If you then bake pizza, tarte flambée, bread or rolls, the stone transfers the stored heat to the baked goods.
If the pizza crust is crispy, you can remove the baked item from your oven. The pizza peel included in the pizza stone set is suitable for this purpose. Then, simply use the pizza cutter or high-quality knife to slice up the result and enjoy.
If you do not want to prepare any more food, you can now switch off the oven. It is important that you leave the still warm pizza stone in the oven so that it can slowly cool down. The material does not tolerate strong temperature fluctuations and should therefore always be warmed up and cooled down slowly. Once the pizza stone has completely cooled down, you can take it out of the oven.
Cleaning the pizza stone – easy to maintain and effective
Cleaning your Tyrolit Life pizza stone is an important step to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. With the right care measures, you can ensure that your pizza stone always remains in the best condition to achieve delicious results.
Our glazed pizza stones are particularly easy to clean. After use, you can remove any residues with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid immersing the glazed pizza stone in water to prevent excessive water absorption.
For stubborn dirt, we recommend letting the pizza stone dry at room temperature and then carefully scraping it off with a plastic scraper. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as they may damage the glazed surface. Discover our 7 tips for cleaning a pizza stone.

The pizza stone from Tyrolit Life is not only suitable for pizza. Use it as a bread baking stone and experiment with tarte flambée, bread, rolls and other baked goods.

What should I consider when caring for a pizza stone?
A pizza stone requires some basic care instructions to get the best results. Before using it, clean the stone thoroughly. Avoid severe temperature fluctuations by slowly warming it up and allowing it to cool down. When cleaning, do not use a detergent or chemical cleaner, but a damp cloth or a soft brush. These steps ensure a long service life and optimal baking results.
What should I consider when purchasing a pizza stone?
Important criteria when buying a pizza stone are its dimensions. You should make sure that the pizza stone fits in your own oven or on your own grill and that there is still enough space for air to circulate. In addition, the pizza stone should have a sufficient thickness (about 1 to 1.5 cm) so that it can store heat well and release it in a controlled manner.
What thickness should a pizza stone be?
The ideal thickness depends on your preferences. Thin stones heat up faster, but are more susceptible to temperature fluctuations. Thicker stones keep the heat longer and provide a more even heat distribution. A thickness of 10 to 15 mm is often recommended.
How long does a pizza stone have to preheat?
In principle, the duration for preheating a pizza stone depends on its thickness. As a rule, periods between 30 and 45 minutes are recommended.
Why do I need a pizza stone?
The Tyrolit Life pizza stone guarantees delicious pizzas with a crispy crust and a taste just like from an Italian restaurant. The pizza stone is an excellent heat retainer and, once heated, distributes the temperature quickly and evenly to the food. The dough bakes through in just a few minutes. Moreover, the pizza stone absorbs excess moisture. The short baking time also ensures that the flavor aromas do not overcook. The result is a wonderfully crispy dough with juicy toppings.
What is the Tyrolit Life pizza stone made of?
The pizza stone is made from 100% high-quality, food-grade cordierite. Cordierite is an excellent heat retainer and is especially well-suited for baking.
What can I bake with the pizza stone?
The pizza stone is suitable for baking pizza, bread and other baked goods.
Where can I use the pizza stone?
The pizza stone is primarily suitable for the closed charcoal and gas grill, but also for the oven.
What is the purpose of the waffle structure on the bottom?
The waffle structure ensures improved heat absorption and ensures faster and more effective heating of the stone.
How do I use the pizza stone?
Before first use, clean the stone with hot water and allow to dry. Preheat the pizza stone on the grill or in the oven for about 30 minutes (grill: 300 °C with the lid closed, oven: 240 °C) at the beginning of heating (with the wafer structure downwards).
Dust the pizza lifter with enough flour, place the baked goods on the stone and bake as needed. Remove baked goods from the stone with a pizza lifter.
CAUTION: Risk of burns! Use barbecue gloves.
How do I clean the pizza stone?
Please allow the cordierite pizza stone to cool completely before cleaning, as the hot stone may crack if it comes into contact with liquids. Residues can be removed with a scraper. The pizza stone will darken due to the baking process and heat exposure – this is not a defect of the product and it does not affect hygiene. The pizza peel can also be wet cleaned after use. Then dry it with a cloth.
Can I clean the pizza stone in the dishwasher?
Please do not put the pizza stone or pizza lifter in the dishwasher!
How long does the pizza stone last?
With proper use, the pizza stone can last a lifetime. It is essential to leave the stone on the grill, in the oven, or on a fireproof surface until it has completely cooled down, as it may crack if it comes into contact with liquids otherwise.
What material is a pizza stone made of?
Pizza stones are typically made from either chamotte (fireclay) or cordierite. Chamotte, a tested and proven refractory clay, is distinguished by its exceptional heat conduction and retention. These stones withstand high temperatures, bake dough to an evenly crisp texture and over time develop a patina.
Cordierite, being more modern and resistant to heat, facilitates swift heating and uniform distribution of heat. Dough and toppings are optimally baked on it as well, and due to its thermal expansion, cracks are seldom an issue. Choosing a glazed pizza stone made of cordierite further reduces the risk of the dough sticking.
Should a pizza stone be square or round?
Whether the pizza stone is round or square does not make any difference in terms of taste, the choice depends on your wishes. If the pizza stone is rectangular, it offers a lot of space, but takes up just as much space in the oven or on the grill. Round pizza stones, on the other hand, are ideal for space-efficient baking and grilling. The Tyrolit Life Pizza Stone Flex is particularly versatile because it can be assembled in a space-saving manner depending on the construction project.
What is cordierite?
Cordierite is a mineral found in nature and is known for its excellent thermal properties. It belongs to the group of aluminium silicates and has a high resistance to temperature fluctuations.
This makes it particularly resistant to thermal shocks, making it ideal for applications where it is exposed to rapid temperature changes, such as in pizza stones or industrial applications. Cordierite can withstand high temperatures and store heat well, which is why it is often used for baking and grilling accessories.
Which pizza stone is better – cordierite or chamotte?
A cordierite pizza stone is a special stone that is mainly used for baking pizza in the home oven or on the grill (gas grill, charcoal grill, etc.). Cordierite is a heat-resistant material that distributes and stores heat evenly.
This gives the pizza a crispy bottom, similar to a stone oven. Compared to other materials such as ceramics or chamottic stone, cordierite heats up faster and is less susceptible to thermal shocks, making it particularly durable. In addition, a cordierite pizza stone is easy to clean.
Do I need parchment paper on the pizza stone?
No. For best results and a crispy pizza base, do not put baking paper on your pizza stone. It is important that you heat the pizza stone properly before you put the dough on it. You do not need flour for the Tyrolit Life pizza stone. Just add some semolina to the pizza lifter so that dough can easily be pulled onto the stone.
What is the best way to cut the pizza?
You can roll your deliciously prepared pizza into comfortably large pieces with a pizza cutter. Alternatively, you can use a larger kitchen knife, such as a chef’s knife or santoku knife. If you prefer to cut your pizza by hand, our steak knives are suitable. Their serrated edge allows you to effortlessly slice through your pizza.
