Know before you buy
Yes, the Flame-Top technology is specifically designed for both oven and grill use. It is thermal shock resistant and can withstand temperatures up to 515° F.
No, this stone does not need to be seasoned. The natural ceramic is finished with a durable, non-porous glaze that is ready to use right out of the box.
No, this stone is not dishwasher safe. Because of its size and the nature of the ceramic material, it should be cleaned by hand with warm water and a mild detergent.
The stone features a highly durable, scratch-resistant glaze designed to withstand regular use. While it is cut-resistant, using a pizza cutter or knife directly on the surface can still cause surface marks over time, so we recommend slicing your pizza on a cutting board.
The integrated handles provide a secure grip, making it much easier and safer to move the stone in and out of a hot oven or off the grill compared to flat, handle-less stones.
No, the non-porous glaze prevents the ceramic from absorbing odors or flavors. This ensures that your pizza won't taste like the bread or seared vegetables you cooked on it previously.
