The Story of Fredstone
Fredstone was invented by Frederik Sørensen, a Danish baker with more than 49 years of experience in baking bread and pizza. Frederik spent most of his baking years operating a chain of self-owned stores and bakeries, gaining priceless experience in mastering the art.
Along with his passion for baking, Frederik developed a love of grilling and barbecuing.
As this love grew, so did his desire to find the perfect baking stone for use on grills. After retiring and selling his bakeries, Frederik became devoted to finding the best baking stones that mimicked the qualities of the ovens he used in his bakeries. He tested countless stones on his grills, varying in materials, but none could stand up to his high standards of quality.
What Frederik began to learn about all the other stones on the market is that they channeled the heat source to the surface of the stone, thus creating too hot of a surface for baking.
One day he came across a local Danish material that was ideal for creating the perfect baking stone.
Working closely with the makers of the material, Frederik was able to develop a recipe for the one of a kind Fredstone. The recipe combined the special Danish material with other secret ingredients to create a unique baking stone unlike any others on the market.
The stone was light, porous, non-toxic, and contained ideal insulating properties. All these qualities allowed for the Fredstone to heat thoroughly, rather than just the surface.
And just like that…Frederik had achieved his goal, creating the perfect baking stone and bringing the power of a professional baker to the home griller and cook.
How to Use the Fredstone
In order to utilize your Fredstone at its fullest potential, it is recommended that both the grill (or oven) and stone are thoroughly heated before you begin.
For Charcoal Grill Use: Place the Fredstone on the grate immediately following the placement of heated charcoal within the grill. Remember to close the lid and make sure that both dampers are open. Wait for the grill to be thoroughly heated, giving the grill and stone time to reach the desired temperature. Once the temperature is achieved, the Fredstone is ready to use.
For Gas Grill Use: Place the Fredstone on the grate, close the lid, and turn on the grill to the proper temperature settings. Once the temperature is met, the stone is ready for use.
For Oven Use: Place the Fredstone in the oven, close the door, and set the oven to the proper temperature. Once the temperature is met, the stone is ready for use.
Care & Maintenance
After unpacking your Fredstone it is ready to use.
NOTE: THE ST0NE MUST NOT COME INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH WATER, AND SHOULD BE KEPT DRY AND STORED INDOORS.
Due to Fredstone being made of porous materials, it is recommended to use either baking paper, an aluminum baking plate, or a reusable silicone mat to protect the surface of the stone against moisture.
When used for baking pizza it is recommended to bake directly on the stone.
If any toppings (e.g. cheese) is burned on the stone, it can easily be removed with fine grade sandpaper (grit 400 or higher). Never use sharp objects to clean the stone.
If the stone is used for other purposes than baking (e.g. to cook a roast pork) it is important to use baking paper, or to wrap the stone in tin foil to protect the stone from hot grease.
It is recommended to keep the grill lid closed as much as possible, when baking or cooking, in order to maintain a stable temperature within the grill. Constant opening of the grill will result in the loss of precious heat, longer cook times, discoloration of baked goods, and an undesirable result.
