How to properly use the product? Can't seem to locate the instructions on how to use or care for the stone...if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

The instructions say one can wash the stone, but without soap, as otherwise "the residue will be absorbed into the stone and may affect the taste of food". That's what I do.

It's pretty straight forward. Preheat the stone along with your oven. Once desired temp is reached, slide your pizza onto it. After it has cooled you can scrape any melted cheese off. I don't wash mine.

we wash our granite top with soap & water. works fine. make sure it's cool 1st. also we found it best to allow plenty of time for the stone to heat thru.

There are specific points below the grill where you place the stone (so, below grill, above charcoal). I put a pan of water to help keep things moist on top of the stone. I plan to try to use the stone directly ON the grill to grill pizza (so it's a bit farther from the heat - crust burned when I tried it at lower level) -- I have not tried this yet, but think it should work.

You must use oil on this stone. Three in One oil is good, as is any light oil. Diamond and "Whet" stones use water only. I prefer diamond stones for sharpening knives for food prep, because you can rinse them off under the tap.

It should state on the back of container. I would check with the manufacturer first, as to not ruin your stone. I also question how pourous your stone is. I would look around for something in a larger quantity. This is a very small bottle.

Yes - Use Lemon Juice and/or baking soda. I have a pizza stone that had the same issue. This worked beautifully!

I rinsed mine thoroughly first. Cute packaging, but.. I did not receive instructions, so just use it wet skin, circular motions, and not too hard or it can scratch your skin. When ours gets soapy, the red lava stone transfers on shower floor, so rinse and let dry after each use. Idk about using on dry skin bc it may scratch, cut. Hope this helps. It does last a long time and I love mine. Just have to rinse it out w warm water, then cold water at the end and let it air dry. You should be all set!

Go here and download the PDF. It ought to give you all the information you need to work with the stone. http://media.caesarstoneus.com/pdf/CS_FabManual_0910.pdf

I've been having good results by using vegetable cooking oil for my kitchen knives. Additionally I rinse several times during sharpening to keep grit down. It's a cheap stone so I don't care if the oil breaks it down or anything.

I don't really know the answer but my guess is its not meant to be used on a natural surface possibly due to porosity of the natural stone? The chemicals in the product are meant to be used on artificial surfaces. I tried it on granite too but decided to stick to products made for that purpose.

The other answers to this question are correct. Make sure that the stone is very hot. Depending on what you are coming, use corn meal on the stone. DO NOT use a non stick spray on the stone.

I have put a few stones in mine. I lay them on top of a wash cloth. They heat just fine. I have only heated a few stones. If I'm doing a full hot stone, I use hot water to heat my stones. Hope that helps!

Grinding rice helps eliminate powdering, a common condition with stone. Hopefully this granite is strong enough that it will not continue to powder. If it does then I would suspect the granite is of poor, weak quality. Could you kindly update us if the powdering eventually stopped after conditioning? I'm interested in buying this myself. Thanks! :-)

Dear customer, I use this at home as well and just running hot water after usage cleans out the stone pretty good. About once a month or so, depending on usage, I put it in sanitizing liquid for about 30 minutes. Cuccio describes that this stone is 100% sanitizable and can be immersed in any sanitizing liquid or solution. Thank you!Lifetime guarantee.

The box our stone came in has minimal directions on the back of the box. Basically, lightly oil and preheat the stone on the grill - when it is hot place your food (veggies, salmon, pizza anything!) on the preheated stone, close grill cover and cook. We love our stone and use it frequently.

Try preheating at least at level 2 instead of one so the stone gets hotter...and preheat for longer than you think is needed. The stne needs to be hot all the way through. Sometimes I preheat on 3 and cook on 1...turning back to 3 to brown the top a bit more. It also depends on the thickness of the crust. I think a thin crust is easier to get just right. Hope that helps.

I would soak a new stone in water and use that to sharpen kitchen knives with. I bought this oil to use with a stone to sharpen an axe and will be using it on wood but your knife will be cutting food so I would use water for your stone.
