for the minions and plebs...... Pizza Stones' cleaning ?


Ive got various toppings spillage and cheese spillage on mine.

A dry scrape has not got it all off. I'm reluctant to scrub (water content) so options are?
Leave it be!

Scrape off the lumps, but the stain's and spillage will only create a lovely BBQ/smokey flavour.

Think of a gas BBQ, when its brand new you might as well cook over a zippo, however when it gets used, and a build up of fat and grime on the gas plates this burns and gives you a smokey BBQ taste.

Same theory, the pizza stone will be hot enough to kill any nasties.

I'm ok with it all from a perspective of flavour / hygiene, but fine that the paddle / pizza interface is not the best with the crud on it.
The 'paddle' (which in my opinion is the perfect name for it) is actually called a 'peel'

What's everybody's cheese of choice? Have used a few kinds of different options with mixed results including:

Cheapo Lidle mozzarella balls
Grated mozzarella
Real expensive Waitress mozzarella
Grated cheapish cheddar from Costco (tend to buy the large bags and freeze it in smaller batches, sometimes catches and burns, probably something to do with the moisture loss).
Finished with a bit of grated hard cheese

I generally subscribe to the less is more theory when it comes to cheese and other toppings normally with some cured meats added to the cheese and tomato.
Absolutely. Lots of the pizzas on this page look like they've got too many toppings. It's a bad sign when you can no longer see the tomato sauce.

Personally, I make homemade spelt dough, rolled out as thinly as possible. I use the best tinned tomatoes I can find, such as San Marzano, infused with a hint of garlic for the tomato sauce. Toppings are mozzarella di bufala, a grating of parmesan, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, then scatter with basil once cooked. Perfection.

They cook beautifully due to the thin base and delicate loading of toppings, even cooked in the oven, with a pizza stone, they come out really, really well.

Just had an email form Uuni telling my order of an Uuni 2S will be upgraded to their new Uuni 3. Looks like the price is the same on their website, it's just an improved version.

Should be arriving in the next 10 days or so, can't wait!

Oh, nice. No email yet but I've had a 2S on back order since mid-Jan, looking forward to finally getting one through.

Fuel hopper is re-located.

Looks like 2S owners can "upgrade" to the revised hopper for £25 (although never had an issue with mine!)

I friend of mine has this, he started off with one in his garden, it seems like a slippery slope but the end results are worth it I guess smile

My problem with the hopper is when I refuel I always end up with pellets falling onto the board. The new design looks to have sorted that problem so I'll probably order it for the sake of £25.

Ive been like that for 2 weeks now. The wife and kids are getting a bit fed up of pizza.

I've been and bought a 16kg bag of flour so I have plenty to experiment with.

To be honest I haven't taken many pictures as I was too busy eating them.
