Know before you buy
Cordierite is a highly durable material known for its excellent thermal shock resistance and ability to absorb moisture. This allows the stone to pull excess water from the dough, resulting in a consistently crisp, professional-quality crust.
Yes, the stone is designed for oven use. Because it features decorative accents made of stainless steel, natural brass, and black enamel, ensure you have enough clearance in your oven to accommodate the 18.5-inch total length.
To clean the stone, simply scrape off any food residue once it has cooled completely. Avoid using soap, as the porous nature of the stone can absorb the scent and flavor; instead, wipe it down with a damp cloth and let it air dry thoroughly before storing.
For the best results, you should place the stone in a cold oven and allow it to heat up as the oven reaches your desired temperature. This gradual heating prevents thermal shock and ensures the stone is hot enough to crisp the dough immediately upon contact.
Absolutely. Given the sculptural Olive Branch design and mixed-material accents, this piece is intended to transition seamlessly from the oven to the table as a sophisticated serving platter for pizza, flatbreads, or appetizers.
