Product Description: 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, but its baking properties make it equally appropriate for breads and cookies. Although microwave- and convection-safe, the stone's 14-3/4-inch diameter 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

I love this stone. I cook everything on it, cookies, pizza, pepperoni rolls, etc.
Rating: - My First
Being an avid amateur cook, it was inevitable that pizza would be explored. While my experience has been limited to the chain-produced pizza, I deem it unhealthy. Resolving to embark on creating healthy versions, my research recommended the baking stone. Now, 100 or so pizzas later, some baked without but most baked with, I can say that a stone is a must. Insofar as this stone as opposed to others available, I have no experience. I do know that this stone has baked a lot of pizzas and is ready for many more. I have not tried baking anything else on it. For pizzas, I can't imagine a better ... Read More
Rating: - Good replacement
I ordered this stone after we accidentally dropped and broke our Pampered Chef stone. Honestly, I like the Pampered Chef one a bit better, but this is a good replacement. The metal handle that this comes with is more shallow than I like, so we tossed it and kept the old one. The pizza cutter is a bit flimsy. But the stone itself--no complaints!
Rating: - No more burned pizza!
I don't know why I waited so long to buy a baking stone. No more burned pizza, does great with rolls too!
Rating: - Better than Pampered Chef
I know many people that swear by their Pampered Chef baking stones. Wanting to see what all the fuss is about, I looked into getting one for myself. Unfortunately, the Pampered Chef ones are a bit too pricey.
I found this one and thought I'd try it out. It's a much better deal and does the same thing as Pampered Chef. In fact, after watching my friends with their high priced stones, I think this one is easier to clean.
If you are interested in a quality baking stone, I highly recommend buying this one and skipping the Pampered Chef catalog.
