Pampered Chef has some great products, this is no exception! I leave my round stone in the oven, it is easy to remove with the metal stand. The more you use it the better it gets. Reheating pizza is so easy, you come out with perfect cruchy crusts every time. Baking rolls and cookies, they come out perfect every time. It is easy to clean, just scrape it off with a spatula, but when it needs a good cleaning I keep it in the oven while using the self cleaning mode. I leave it in there and it comes out perfectly clean and new every time.
