Product Description
Bake crisp, bubbly pizzas in a fraction of the time with this 16lbs ultra-conductive 16" x 14.25" x .25" pizza steel. If you love wood-fired pizza, now you can get the same blistered crust at home with a Made in the USA Artisan Steel. Your Artisan Steel baking surface is even more conductive than the stone floor of a wood-fired oven, and can transfer heat so efficiently, you’ll soon be turning out beautiful pies with unbelievable crust in under 10 minutes.
More than a pizza stone, can be used frozen for cold serving, or to prepare cold slab ice cream. Works perfectly at moderate heat for baking rustic breads. You can even try baking pizza or roasting vegetables on it in your barbecue!
Packaging Content: Your Artisan Steel will arrive inside cardboard packaging with a thin sheet of parchment paper on both sides of the unit & step-by-step instructions on ongoing use and care. Out of the box, the surface of your Artisan Steel will have slight variations due to our hand finishing process with food safe oil applied to protect the surface during storage and transit. Thoroughly wash prior to first use as laid out in instructions in the box. Once used, your Artisan Steel will darken from high temperatures, developing a rich, beautiful patina. For lifelong baking…Clean with water and a stiff brush (no soap needed!) after use, dry immediately with a lint-free cloth or paper towel and season by swiping on a light coat of cooking oil. Re-season as needed by scrubbing and washing thoroughly with a mild soap, seasoning as usual and baking at 375°F for one hour.

Customers are satisfied with the quality of the pizza stone. They mention that it makes amazing pizzas from a home oven set to 550F after 40-60min warmup. The steel plate makes amazing crusts for bread and pizza, and it makes homemade pizza bake better. The crust is crisp, both top and bottom, while the interior is light. They are also able to make restaurant quality garlic knots and pizza.

You'll want to wash this very well when you receive it, maybe couple times, and then season it at least twice.
A warning to anyone looking at this: it's heavy and a little awkward to move. Could probably be a solid home defense weapon if you can maneuver it will enough lol.
When I received the steel the first thing I did was wash it and season it according to the instructions. From what I can tell, the steel comes unseasoned but I'm not completely sure on that. The purpose of washing is to remove any excess manufacturing oils, or anything else. You'll need to be careful handling the steel for multiple reasons. One, obviously it's very heavy. The other reason is because the edges are kind of sharp so if this slides around in your hands there is the possibility you'll get hurt.
Once I washed it I placed it in a warm (not hot) oven to allow it to dry thoroughly. Once it was dried I then treated it like unseasoned cast iron. I gave it a very thin coat of oil all over (I used grapeseed but you can use flaxseed, or canola for this) and made sure the coat was even by using a lint free cloth. I did notice the cloth still darkened in color from the steel. While I did this I preheated the oven to 375f. Once everything was ready I left it in the oven for an hour, then turned it off and left it in the oven overnight (I started fairly late). The next day I did a second seasoning following the same steps (lightly oiled, left in a 375F oven until cooled). I followed up with a third seasoning prior to actual use. It developed a nice evenly golden color. Also, yes doing this will release a pretty bad odor. This is relatively normal. The oil is going through a process due to the heating where it causes polymerization. While it does this, the oil will smoke causing a pretty foul odor. If you don't particularly care for this and if your oven doesn't vent outside, you might want to do this when you can open windows.
When I made my first pizza I preheated the steel in the oven at its highest setting (about 525) for about 45 minutes. During this time I prepared all my ingredients and eventually my pizza. I don't have a pizza peel yet so I used a rimless cookie sheet as a makeshift peel. Prior to actually making the pizza I lightly floured the bottom of the crust and placed it on a sheet of parchment paper. Placed the parchment paper on the rimless cookie sheet. By this time the steel has darkened quite a bit from the seasoning and the high heat. When it was time to place the pizza on the steel, I held the parchment and the cookie sheet together and the pizza slid right onto the steel perfectly. After about 5-6 minutes my pizza was ready, I lifted a corner of it with a steel spatula, slid the cookie sheet under the pizza and it came right off the steel without any sticking at all. Best pizza I've made yet but there was room for improvement. I probably could have let it go a little longer.
I preheat my pan at 525 degrees for 30 to 60 minutes for top performance.
Everoyone else rightly praises how this steel plate makes amazing crusts for bread and pizza. Very true... But you can place other steel cookware on top of the steel plate for various baking applications. Explore!
Let steel cool for two hours, brushed off semolina char and wiped on a thin vegetable oil layer. Put back into shipping box and found it’s permanent storage spot. This plate is shockingly heavy but manageable, cleans easy and does the work. I can’t imagine this in a larger format for handling. Confident this slab will be around longer than I am! Impressed.
Purchased at $89.99, below most other big-box retailers. Only one external site was lower by $10, but charged shipping. So Amazon pulls thru on pricing here.
Pro tip: close your eyes as you first open your oven door after pre-heating this slab. The heat blast will singe your eyeballs, not kidding. Also, regular kitchen utensil dimensions will not protect your hands from the heat. Mitten up or get tools that have long handles. You’re welcome!
