Using the gourmet shelf and baking stones
(on some models)
The gourmet shelf and baking stones are excellent for baking bread and pizza.
■The shelf should be placed in the
second rack position from the bottom
and the stones carefully placed on it.
Preheat to the desired baking
temperature.
■Always preheat the stones before using
them. For best results do not use baking
stones with rising crust pizzas.
When using the gourmet shelf bake at the same
temperature and for the same time that you
would normally.
■Use a pizza peel (special wood paddle)
to place pizza on or off the baking
stones. Sprinkle corn meal on the
baking stones and the peel to prevent
sticking.
■The baking stones become very hot in
the oven. Allow the stones to cool
before removing them from the oven.
Always use a heavy potholder or oven
glove when handling the baking stones.
■The stones are made of a porous
ceramic material and it is normal for
the stones to accumulate stains with
use. This will not affect their baking
capabilities in any way.
Avoid sudden temperature changes. Don’t place
the heated stones on a cold surface or immerse
them in water.
■Do not leave the stones in your oven
when they are not being used. Baking
times and browning may be affected.
Carefully place the stones on the
offset rack.
Do not drop the stones onto the
rack or chipping may occur.
To remove the stones place a hand
under the rack and push up on the
stones.
