Has the stone been treated/heated?

Its virgin jade when it is new it is a brighter green but as the years go on it turns a dark green

not that I can tell. I would say no. the stone has been smoothly polished to a beautiful seamless finish

The stones are packaged with an oil, I suppose to protect them, but once you receive them, I would suggest cleaning and disinfecting them thoroughly. Once this is done you may want to apply a thin coat of a light base oil to the stones before storing them.

This stone requires water. I suggest that you soak it submerged for 24 hours before the first use. Turn it over several times during the 24 hour period. Each time you turn it over you will see new bubbbles of air escaping from the stone. Use the stone while WET! In subsequent uses, soak for between 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on how much 'new' air is escaping from the stone. I understand oil can be used in addition to water but I am told and have demonstrated that it is unneccessary. Good Luck!

I'm not sure. Did you check the Wilton site? It wasn't very helpful for me with cooking instructions and use of the stone. Just the clean up of the stone.

NOTHING, have never had that problem. don't scrap on the stone, just wash with soapy water, and let dry.

I believe the package has instructions . I wiped it down with canola oil then put in oven and turned oven on to 400 degrees . Make sure to put stone in cold oven . Then turn on

NO! You will need to use pot holders or oven mitts to extract the stone from the oven, and then set it onto the cooling rack/handles for transport to the table, etc.

Personally I have never applied it with stones in place. As I've mentioned before I like to heat the piece to ( a blowdryer works for me) so I guess if the stone can take the heat I don't see why it wouldn't work. Although I would definitely do a test piece first :-)

Let it air dry. It will appear wet until it dries completely. Its a stone so it will absorb moisture. Wait another day or so for the wetness to go away. Don't worry about the spot expanding. That is normal.

Just a SINGLE 'stone', actually a steel plate covered with the proper grade of abrasive grit. The illustration seems to be trying to show the various grades available, as marked on the side.

simply place it in the oven at the desired temp. It is a granite stone so will heat up accordingly.

It's simply muriatic acid deluded down. $2.29 at Home Depot. It simply etches the stone. Use baking soda to neutralize it after 5 minutes and wash it off. ( yes, I felt like a sucker paying that money for acid)

Yes, warm(not too warm) soapy water can be used to wash the stone. No smell of the stone bleeds onto food cooked on the stone.

HiI've had stones for years and have never "seasoned" them. What I do is I have a wooden "peel" that I sprinkle wondra flour on (some people use cornmeal) and then I put the stuff to be cooked on the wooden "peel" and let it slide off onto the stone that has been heated to the maximum temperature already. The Wondra flour acts like ball bearings so that they slide onto the heated stone. Nothing has ever stuck on the stone except maybe some overrun of cheese when I do pizza. Are you preheating your stone?

Yes, make sure you put it in the oven when you preheat the oven. And make sure the stone is completely dry otherwise it can crack

It's stone, acts like cast iron. Wash with a scrubber and water, place in oven to dry. No soap

I have accidentally left our stone in the oven and set the oven to "self clean" (no chemicals/sprays added). When the oven was done cleaning, It actually turned any stains/goop on the stone to gray dust, with a little sponge water, it came right off. Looked almost brand new!
