How do I prepare my Ooni Roasting Pan before use?

First Use: Clean with warm soapy water. Allow it to dry fully.

Prepare the pan with a heat cycle. Place the pan in your home oven, set the temperature to 250°C / 480°F, and let the pan gradually heat up inside the oven. Turn off the oven and allow it to cool down before removing the pan.

Subsequent Uses: Always preheat your oven before inserting the pan. Preheat your oven to the desired temperature (ideally, the roasting temperature). Add the food to be cooked into the pan, and place it inside the oven.

Pro-Tip: Preheat your pan in your home oven, and allow it to reach the intended roasting temperature before adding your ingredients. Allowing the pan to reach the optimal cooking temperature creates a smooth, even surface for your food to cook on and prevents sticking.
