How to clean a pizza stone?
I got a pizza stone for Christmas, which is great since I've always wanted one...but it is white. After the first time I used it there are these spots that just won't wipe off. Is this grease from the pizza that sunk into the stone and won't come off, or did I just miss pizza stone cleaning 101 and there's a special way (other than dish soap and hot water) to wipe it down? It looks pretty gross...
Re: How to clean a pizza stone?
Don't use soap! You rinse or wipe with hot water. You want it to season. Eventually it will turn dark from the grease. That's what makes it non-stick.
ETA: My MIL's are now brown and they are amazing!

OK, thanks! My parents had a dark one that we'd just wipe down after using and it never looked spotty so I thought something was wrong with mine.
Now I just don't understand why on earth they make these in white! It looks like a hippie used my pizza stone as a pillow...yuck!
Per directions on the package and confirmed on a cooking segment I recently saw, never use soap. I scrape off stuck on food with a plastic pan scraper (a buck at Pier1, looks like the head of a rubber spatula), and then wipe down and rinse with hot water.
They do look icky. Wish there was a way to have it look nice and work well.
