What customers say
Enthusiasts highly value this pizza stone for achieving authentic, crispy crusts outdoors. Users consistently praise its exceptional heat retention, which effectively replicates a brick oven for beautifully charred, restaurant quality results superior to standard grates. The substantial size supports homemade pizzas well. While the performance is excellent, durability is a key consideration. Some users report cracking due to thermal shock, emphasizing that slow preheating and cooling are critical for maintaining the stone's integrity. Despite slightly cumbersome cleaning if spills occur, the consensus is that the superior pizza texture justifies the required careful handling. It offers great value for those prioritizing authentic outdoor pizza.
Know before you buy
Yes, the cordierite construction is designed to withstand high temperatures on both gas and charcoal grills, as well as in standard kitchen ovens.
No, cordierite stones do not need to be seasoned like cast iron. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth to remove any dust from packaging before your first bake.
Allow the stone to cool completely, then scrape off any stuck-on food with a plastic spatula. Avoid using soap or submerging the stone in water, as the porous material can absorb moisture and affect future bakes.
The stone measures 16" x 14", so be sure to measure your oven rack before purchasing to ensure it fits with enough clearance for air circulation around the edges.
Absolutely. Because it distributes heat evenly and absorbs excess moisture, it is excellent for baking breads, tortillas, strombolis, and even reheating leftovers to restore their crispness.
