How is a pizza stone used?

Answer

It creates a crispy pizza crust. Very simply, you put it into the oven, wait until it's very hot, and place the pizza (fresh, frozen, reheated -- it doesn't matter) on it to warm. Because it's porous (made of earthenware, usually), it absorbs moisture in addition to concentrating the heat to the pizza's bottom. Make sure to wash it only with plain water; soap will get absorbed into it and effect the flavor of the pizza.
