Know before you buy
Steel is significantly more conductive than ceramic, meaning it absorbs and radiates heat up to 20 times faster. This allows it to transfer intense heat into your dough quickly, resulting in a crispier crust and better browning than a stone can typically achieve.
Yes, the Steelmade Pizza Steel is designed for universal compatibility. It performs exceptionally well on outdoor grills, where it can help maintain consistent temperatures and provide that wood-fired oven effect.
Like a cast-iron skillet, this steel should be seasoned with a thin layer of oil to prevent rust and create a non-stick surface. After use, simply wipe it clean, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place.
Because of its 17-pound mass, the steel acts as a heat sink that stabilizes your oven's temperature. By placing it on a rack, you can minimize temperature fluctuations, which helps cookies, breads, and cakes bake more evenly.
Yes, 1/4-inch is the industry standard for home pizza steels. It provides the perfect balance between heat retention and weight, ensuring it is heavy enough to hold heat effectively while remaining manageable to move in and out of the oven.
