How long does it take to preheat the stone?
488251
Our oven takes five minutes to preheat and I usually leave the stone in there while it's doing so. After the oven is preheated (5mins) I usually let the stone cook for 10-15 more mins (15-20mins total time) before I put something on it. Then after the item (pizza mostly) is scheduled to be pulled out, I instead Leave it in there for another 10 minutes or so (I use my best judgement for when it should come out instead of what the instructions say to do)Thus a 20 min pizza can take 50-60 mins to cook, but its worth the wait.

As long as the oven takes to preheat. You keep the stone in the oven and when your ready to use it you already have it in the oven when you go to preheat the oven. Hope that helps.

Yes. We put just the stone in the oven when we first turn it on so it preheats with the oven.

I bought the round stone. 16 3/4 diameter 1/2" thick - Works great. Pre-heat oven with stone to 500 first.

Around 25min or so. I have done a test and bake for a few different recipes and i have found that my bake time for these little guys is reduced by half. so 25min should do the trick.

Pre-ramp my kiln to about 1778F, place the piece onto a fiber blanket, and hold the temp for 30 minutes. I prefer Art Clay because it doesn

As a massage therapist, I'm trained in hot stone massage. We typically use a stone warmer (which looks similar to a crock pot) and heat the stones to a specific temperature.

Usually mine is done about 15 minutes after pouring it into the boiling water, depending on how hot the stove burner is.

My oven goes up to 550 degrees..it won't go higher than that..but I haven't had any problems so far putting the stones into it preheated. My stones are usually room temperature when I put them in. I've been using them for several months that way.

About the same length of time you'd bake a drop biscuit. Doesn't take long. I always watch mine carefully as my oven is old and I think gets a bit hotter than it says it is.

Place stone uncovered in oven and bake for one hour at oven's highest temp. This will continue to harden the stone beyond its initial firing. Every time you bake on the stone it will continue this hardening process. You may leave the stone in your oven during other baking functions to further this hardening process - cover it with foil to prevent drips and splatters on stone. To clean, scrape residue off with metal spatula or vigorously brush stone with BBQ grill brush after stone has cooled. Never use water to clean stone as this will leave a moisture residue in the pores of the stone which may in turn cause the stone to crack during heating. If you feel you have to use water to clean it, use plain hot water only - never soap or it will stay in the pores and cause your food to taste soapy. Never immerse hot stone in water or it will break. If water is used (after stone has cooled) allow stone to dry thoroughly before baking again. You can also dry the stone in a low temp oven after allowing it to air dry overnight before baking at high temps again. Never place stone on hot electric burner or open flame of gas burner - this will cause it to crack. Preheat stone at highest oven setting for up to 30 minutes for a crispier crust. Bake pizza on the flat side of the stone only. Stone may be used for other baked goods too - if you do - place a sheet of foil on the stone first to prevent sticking.

I would have to agree with the others, about 5 min is good, but if you want to pre heat to 400 I think that will take a bit longer.

My experience with pizza at home is that you want the stone as hot as possible so i've always heated them up about 30 minutes, on the grill and in the oven before I got this. The grill does seem to heat the box up to super hot temps quickly so I bet you can experiment and get away with shorter...

My oven doesn't get that hot but the amount of time it takes to slip your pie onto a stone isn't long enough to burn it. I do use a plain steel peel to remove it when it's done.

I would preheat the stones and assemble on parchment paper. Once the stone is to the desired temp you can slide the pie onto the stone.

Quickly! To preheat to 4 or 5 setting (our usual), it takes maybe 5 minutes. Don't know how we ever survived winter nights before buying this thing. Love it!

Sorry it took me so long to answer i could not find my guide .Now i have it i looked up your question turn your roast to the desired setting then heat for 15 to 20 minutes before use. There is a guide (Instruction) book to tell you how long the item you put in the roast should be cooked and on what temperature you should cook it at. Hope this helps you.

Just clean with damp cloth, no soap or any other cleaner. Do not oil. If you can heat your stone to 500 before using. Place stone in cold oven. Set oven to 500. Once the oven temp reach 500 than set your timer to 30 minyour stone should be ready
