How do I use my Pizza Steel?

To use your Ooni Pizza Steel 13, follow the steps below:

Step 1. Before using it for the first time, clean your Ooni Pizza Steel with light soapy water and then wipe it dry with a paper towel or rag.

Step 2. Place the steel on a wire shelf in the middle of your domestic oven. Preheat the oven to top temperatures (up to 275 °C  / 527 °F, or the 'pizza setting' where applicable) for at least 30 minutes.

• Tip: a longer preheat time will result in a crispier base and more colour on the crusts.

Step 3. Once you've preheated for the desired amount of time, launch your prepared pizza into the oven using a pizza peel and then close the oven door.

• Tip: You can use an infrared thermometer to get an exact measurement of the steel's temperature.

Step 4. After 5 to 7 minutes, your pizza should be fully cooked. Use a metal peel to retrieve your pizza from the oven. Slice up and enjoy!

Make sure you leave the steel in the oven for at least 2 hours to cool down before removing with oven mitts.
