Editorial Reviews: A baking stone for home oven use reminiscent of the stone baking ovens of earlier times. Over 30 years ago the Old Stone Oven Company first introduced the baking store for home use and it is still the best. Thicker than other stones available, it has a porosity and heat retention that is perfect for a good crust. The Old Stone Oven Pizza Stone duplicates crispy pizzeria quality pizza - crust and all- in a standard kitchen oven. The Stone can also be used to bake bread, rolls and biscuits giving them a very special texture and quality or as a warming tray to keep waffles, pancakes, fried chicken, etc warm until ready to serve.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Arrived well packed and in one piece! Comment: No problem with the stone arriving in one piece. The original packing from Old Stone Oven (made in USA) was a well fitted box inside another box filled with packing popcorn. This packing was tight and secure. This set of boxes was then placed inside a HUGE box by Amazon and filled with brown paper. The outer Amazon box was sealed with only one strip of clear tape down the middle seam and this was busted open due to the weight of the box. Amazon should have secured this outer box with more than one strip of tape. Also, the outer box likely didn't need to be so large and a more appropriate sized box would have made the shipment even more secure. The important point of shipping came from the manufacturer rather than Amazon. Amazon's added packaging simply ensured one more layer of protection which would have been better with more tape. This stone is heavy! Nicely manufactured. No cracks, breaks, chips, or scratches to be found. Customer Rating: Summary: arrived broken Comment: good looking stone, but arrived in two pieces. I hope I can get the one piece edition. Customer Rating: Summary: Solid performer for over 10 years! Comment: I have had this stone for a long time. It went through a period of time with very little use, because I did not know how to use a pizza stone. PREHEAT, PREHEAT, PREHEAT! All pizza stones should be well preheated before use. I mean 20-30 minutes once the oven is hot. I use and IR thermometer to tell when mine is hot and I regularly get this stone to over 500 F. I make all my pizza dough from scratch and I never, ever use corn meal under my pizza and the pizza never sticks. If you can slide your pizza off a peel (or cardboard), then it should not stick to a properly heated stone. If you dough rips and hot cheese melts onto the stone, yes, that will stick. This stone accumulates stains, but so what. I use a bench scraper to remove burnt on cheese and sauce. Mine is almost black, but it performs as well as it has for years. I have probably owned 3 other pizza stones before this one and most of those easily broke. I also own a different brand stone that fits on my Big Green Egg grill and can handle being placed over an open fire. I probably would not try that with this brand of stone, unless the manufacture states that as a use. It seems to me from reading reviews here that the negative reviews are about Amazon shipping this thing like a book, and not like a piece of pottery. Customer Rating: Summary: a transformation Comment: I have been making bread for several years but could never get a really great crispy, crunchy crust until now. This baking stone will transform your bread or pizza into an amazing crowd pleaser.I keep it in the center of the oven and place a shallow pan of water on the bottom shelf. The pan of water provides steam and the stone provide the brick oven style of baking without the expense. Customer Rating: Summary: love this stone. Comment: This is a great stone, arrived perfectly in one piece, this same stone is rated number #1 by Cooks illustrated Test kitchen. It's a great price, and well worth the money. If you want to make some great Pizza, pair this with the Superpeel, a night and day difference between using a pan and stone. I get the oven hot, 500 degrees, no cracking problems. I preheat the oven to 500 for almost an hour to get the stone nice and hot, pizza cooks in about six minutes, finish it off under the brolier for a nice brown crust and perfectly melted cheese. yum.
