Know before you buy
Yes. Unlike traditional porous stones that can scratch or harbor bacteria, the Emile Henry baking stone features a durable, micro-crazed glaze that is resistant to scratches, allowing you to slice your pizza directly on the surface.
No seasoning is required. Because the stone is glazed, it does not absorb oils or odors, meaning it is ready to use right out of the box without the need for pre-treatment.
Absolutely. The Flame® ceramic construction is designed to withstand high heat, making it compatible with gas, charcoal, and natural wood grills. It effectively turns your grill into a professional-style pizza oven.
It is fully dishwasher safe. The glazed surface is non-porous, so it cleans up easily in the dishwasher or with standard soap and water in the sink.
The glaze is engineered to manage moisture effectively. It helps pull excess humidity away from the dough while the stone retains high heat, resulting in a consistently crispy crust.
Emile Henry’s Flame® technology is specifically designed to handle thermal shock. While you should always exercise caution, this material is significantly more resistant to temperature fluctuations than standard baking stones.
