ok iv read pretty much evry post on bakeing stones and only once didi i read about making it non-stick. the instructions with mine (which is just a cheap round pizza stone maybe 1/4 or so thick) states that i should put corn meal on the stone before placeing the pizza on it for bakeing to keep it from sticking to the stone. i read one post that said to cook bacon on it or something greasy to season it. correct me if im wrong but is seasoning and make non-stick surface different from each other? also i dont remember whether the instructions stated to put the cornmeal on the stone before i preheat or after i pre-heat the stone. iv only used it about 2xs an i have put the cormeal on it after heating it but its hard to spread cornmeal onto a hot stone. there seems to be so many variations of stone questions that i think there should be a a space in the hankdbook going into great detail of the hows and whys and what to do and not to do concerning stones. thanks again
