Product Description: For making the crispiest crusts on your pizza, nothing works as nicely as a clay stone. Because it's made of clay it retains heat better and maintains an even cooking temperature from the center to the edges. The clay material also absorbs moisture ??? thus, a crispy crust. Made for baking pizza, it's also great for baking flat breads, rolls and focaccia.
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 but its baking properties make it equally appropriate for 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. -- Amy Arnold

This pizza stone is one big disappointment. I previously had a Sassafras Pizza Stone(for nearly 20 years until it finally cracked)which was fantastic. It cooked the pizza perfectly and browned the crust evenly. This new pizza stone (purchased a few months ago and which is not made of the same material)leaves the crust soggy. Obviously, whatever materials it is made from does NOT conduct the heat properly or in the same way as the old pizza stone. I say this with the experience of making several pizzas on it. The only way I can get a browned crust is to remove slices from the stone after baking, ... Read More

I was really impressed using this for homemade pizza. My pizza came out great and I like how the crust didn't get all soggy. I can't wait to use it for bread! Highly recommended.

It's a nice addition to my kitchen, and it stays in the oven all the time.
