Cleaning the stone is one of the simplest parts of taking care of your Versa 16, because you want to keep the seasoning of the surface intact. DO NOT use soap or detergent when cleaning it. Simply allow it cool completely before cleaning it, then scrape of any excess food with a nylon pan scraper (or a spatula if you don’t have one). For something more baked on and stubborn, soak the stone in hot water, then dry thoroughly. If there aren’t any food particles that could harbor bacteria on your stone, it’s clean and safe to use.
