The first thing you need to do with a new stone is rub cooking oil lightly into it, then wipe off excess with a paper towel, pre-heating is not necessary. Always clean with a scrapper and never, ever use soap, It will discolor after using a bit but the worse your stone looks the better it cooks, I love pampered chef and do not own any metal pans , after using the stone I threw the others away!!!

I washed my stone with soap and water I didn't have the directions because I bought it from a private party. What can I do now?

If you are using a baking stone to bake something frozen like a pizza, put the frozen item on the stone and place it in the oven first. If you place a stone in the oven with a frozen pizza on it, and the oven is hot, there is more of a chance that it will crack. It may never crack, but if it does 5 years down the line, you may not get it replaced.
