Product Description

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.

Amazon.com Review
Professional pizza and traditional European bread ovens are often lined with stone or brick. This is so heat is stored up and redistributed evenly. The resulting blast of heat from the Old Stone Oven Baking Stone gives bread and pizza a nice chewy crust. The rustic French tarts called galettes are also well suited to a baking stone. To use the 14-inch stone, place it in a cold oven and preheat, to 500 degrees for pizza, or according to the recipe for bread or galettes. The stone is made of the same material that lines blast furnaces and kilns, so it can handle ultra-high temperatures.

Wait until the baking stone is entirely cooled before attempting to clean it. Let it dry completely before using again. Some discoloration will occur over time; this is natural and will not affect baking. Using baking parchment may help delay that discoloration. Do not bake cookies, turnovers or other high-fat items on the stone; the stone would absorb the fat and proceed to produce smoke and bad odors. The stone comes with a flyer that contains detailed use and cleaning instructions, as well as recipes for bread, pizza dough, and two pizza toppings. --Garland Withers

Customer Reviews

Very disappointed!
Before buying this product I read other reviews and some of them wrote that it was broken when delivered.I thought that it wont happen with me.But I was very disappointed .I received the product in two pieces.It was so hard to manage that i had to throw it away the same day I received .When I received the packet ,I was surprised at the lousy packaging ,and immediately thought no wonder why the stone broke into two pieces.I would not suggest anyone to buy this stone.

Yes
I was so tired of my crusts ssticking, and finding the right timeing on when to take pizza's out. This ston e works great everything cooks even, looks better than delivery, and once the stone is hot cooks real fast. My only complaint is that the stone's radius is about an inch to small, however if it was an inch greater I'd probably just make bigger pizzas.

PIZZA PERFECTION
...for at home baking use a stone to make awesome pizzas and breads !
You will be glad you did :) If your stone breaks DO NOT trash it - stick it in the oven and continue to use it in pieces set next to each other... just like the old world oven stones/tiles. This stone was on special "4 for 3" and some lucky bakers received one as a holiday gift. The pizza peel is a great addition to this item. Happy Baking ~
