Amazon.com Review
Updating the historic tradition of stone baking for today's household kitchen, Sassafras offers a baking brick boasting even heat distribution and moisture absorption. Dry heat generated from stone produces crispier crust, making this ideal for preparing pizza, breads, and cookies. Although microwave- and convection-safe, the stone's 13-by-15-inch size makes it best suited to the traditional oven. Lifting and transporting are simplified with the included metal rack designed to fit snugly without slipping and provide two handles. Stoneware care consists primarily of avoiding thermal shock--extreme changes in temperature--and hand washing with hot water. It is best to avoid using cleaning agents as the stone may retain and pass on a soapy flavor. The disk can double as a serving piece and won't scratch with the use of knives and other cutting tools. Reinforcing this point, the set comes complete with a 2-1/2 inch circular pizza cutter. -- Amy Arnold

Customer Reviews

Baking Stone
Received as ordered. I bought the stone for baking cookies. Makes wonderful, evenly baked cookies provided that you follow the directions given in the instructions.
My only complaint about stones in general is that they are quit awkward to handle.

Not a good choice
This piece had several problems. It cracked easily during normal use due to thermal shock. The cheese and sauce burned on and is difficult to remove. I have a normal size oven and this is a bit too small in width. The pizza cutter is also junky. It would be better to buy a better one separately.

I replaced this stone with a set of unfinished clay tiles from the hardware store (one whole one and one cracked in half that do a much better job of crisping the pizza because they hold more heat and yet they haven't cracked under heavier usage.

I own two round pizza stones which are used more for baking cookies than pizzas and this rectangular stone works great because we can fit a dozen ccokies on it that always turn out perfect.
