{"product_id":"ziipa-ranella-pizza-stone-brush","title":"ZiiPa Ranella: 2-in-1 Pizza Stone Cleaning Brush","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ranella is a 2-in-1 cleaning brush from ZiiPa designed specifically for compact pizza ovens like the Piana. At 33.3cm it's the right length for a small oven's cordierite stone: long enough to clean the full surface comfortably, short enough to work precisely inside a compact oven mouth. The stainless steel bristles sweep away burnt flour and fine residue, and the integrated stainless steel scraper handles anything more stuck on. The oak handle ends in a leather hanging strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways wait for the stone to cool completely before cleaning. Cordierite is thermally unstable while it holds heat and contact with the brush on a hot surface risks stress fractures. Once cool, residue is fully set and brittle and brushes off far more cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSized for Compact Ovens\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost pizza stone brushes are built for larger domestic or professional ovens and come in at 40cm or longer. That length is impractical in a compact oven like the Piana where the stone is 31cm across and the oven mouth is narrow. The Ranella's 33.3cm length gives you full coverage of the Piana's cordierite stone with the control you need to work in a small space.

Using the brush on a warm or hot stone risks damaging both the brush and the stone surface. ZiiPa recommend adding a small amount of fuel at the end of your last pizza to burn off any remaining residue at high heat, then leaving the oven to cool fully before brushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCan I use water to clean the pizza stone?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Cordierite pizza stones are porous and should never be cleaned with water or detergent. Moisture absorbed into the stone can cause cracking when the oven next reaches high temperature.
