Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've had this pizza stone for just over a year now. I wanted to wait until I had really used it before writing a review. I bought it at the same time I bought a new gas grill with the intention of mainly using it on that. While the pizza stone works perfectly, my grill is a little weak so I have moved almost exclusively to using my electric oven. I've tried all sorts of crusts: pre-made, flat breads, refrigerated dough, frozen dough, homemade dough, par-baked frozen crusts, and on and on. This stone has excelled in every situation. (I'm not an expert dough maker, so I've had some trouble when humidity is high as shown in one photo.) I found that setting my oven at 550 deg F and heating for 30 minutes gives an instant crisp as soon as the raw dough hits the stone. I like a nice crisp base to my crust and this stone does it. I'm an amatuer when it comes to cooking, but this stone makes me feel like a pizza pro most of the time. (Except when I botch my crust.) I see there's now a 14 x 16 rectangular version. I may have to buy one of those to have on hand in case I do something clumsy and drop this one. One last note. I had a stone about 20 years ago that gave off an awful odor that I thought would eventually go away. It didn't, and I ended up tossing that stone. I was nervous about buying another stone and dealing with odors again. This one gave off no such odor. In fact I hadn't even thought of that until I was writing this review. I highly recommend this pizza stone.
