Why you shouldn't use soap to clean a pizza stone? or some pans and pots?
I was reading answers to this question How do I season my new pizza stone? and many people advised not to use soap on a pizza stone, I don't have a pizza stone but I have read similar advice for some pots and pans,
My question is why you can't use soap to clean this stuff, is it just unnecessary (because a pizza stone is always in the oven and every thing on it will burn) or there is a reason NOT to do it?
Best Answer
Some cookware are 'cured'. Mostly cast iron pots and pans. I never heard of a pizza stone being cured, so I'm guessing this is to avoid eating soap. Other than that, I wouldn't know.
Cast iron gets cured for two reasons: 1. Create a non-stick layer 2. Avoid oxidation. Neither of these reasons apply to stones (or do they?)

Dish soap or other liquids can absorb into the stone and then seep into the pizza the next time the stone gets used. Pizza stones should only be hand-washed. The high water volumes of a dishwasher and dishwasher detergent can damage the stone.Why You Shouldn't Cherry Pick Catholicism
