Know before you buy
Yes, the KitchenStar stone is designed to withstand temperatures up to 1800°F, making it perfectly safe for both gas and charcoal grills.
No, natural cordierite does not require seasoning. Simply rinse it with warm water and let it air dry completely before your first bake.
Use the included plastic scraper to remove any stuck-on food once the stone has cooled completely. Avoid using soap, as the porous material can absorb the scent and flavor.
The 5/8-inch thickness provides superior heat retention, which helps achieve a crispier crust. You may find that your pizza bakes slightly faster than on a thinner stone, so keep a close eye on it during the first few uses.
Absolutely. The stone is excellent for baking artisan breads, pastries, and even reheating leftovers to restore their original texture.
The rack is primarily designed for serving and transport once the stone is removed from the oven. It makes it much easier to move the hot stone to your countertop or table safely.
