Outset QZ44 13 Inch Pizza Grill Stone, 13-Inch

Some like it hot. This 0.39″ thick cordierite baking stone loves it — it’s heat safe to 1450°F! It works in the oven or on the grill, and we call it a pizza stone, but it’s just as good for breads and tortillas. Product Features 13 inch diameter, 0.39 inch thick Made of cordierite stone
Works well, be prepared for timing. It’s a good size for the oven and so far has worked quite well. FAR better price (almost half) of what the local cookware shop was selling the same model for.Just a warning, your oven will likely take longer to heat up to temperature, but it should maintain a more steady temp, since this had to heat up as well. We leave in in the oven at all times, without any issues, but all preheat times have increased. If electricity usage is of big concern, it’s just something to keep in mind.
Good price, large size, not so easy to clean Very large size and heavy, which is good and what I wanted. It is extremely porous however, and after rinsing it it Clean it before my first use it held onto the water for over a week, and steamed for about 20mins in the over, and smelled a bit odd. Also not in love with the idea of not being able to use soap or cleaners on it because of how porous it is. But it made a nice pizza crust once it stopped steaming so I can’t be too mad. I may change my tune as it gets used or I may not care much…
Love it, after many uses! I bought this almost 2 years ago and really love it. I make pizza either on my gas grill or in the oven with 00 flour, and the result is way better than what my wife makes 🙂 in the oven with a cookie sheet and King Arthur flour. Doing things right really makes a difference, and this stone is a key part of it! On the grill I’ve gotten the stone over 700 F (measured with an IR thermometer), pizza cooks in 3-5 minutes. I can cook a second pizza within 5 minutes of taking the first one off,…
