Reviews for American Metalcraft STONE14 14" x 15" Rectangular Ceramic Pizza Stone

This is a great stone to cut your teeth on! If you're like me then when you're just starting out making pizzas by transferring them to a hot stone with a peel you're bound to rip a hole in a few crusts and get sauce on the stone. This (or getting any significant amount of liquid on it) can break any stone when you've got the oven up at the temperatures needed to get the oven spring and crispiness you're looking for. The affordability of this stone means that you don't have to worry about being out of a lot of money if this happens. Plus, it still works if it ends up in a few pieces! In addition to the low price, it's big enough to make a decent sized pie, however it was still small enough to fit into my efficiency-sized oven. I prefer this rectangular shaped style Read More

LOVE this stone for baking pizza at home. Unlike some of the reviews, I had no problems with cracking and have used my, now well-seasoned, stone in both gas and electric ovens. I think the key to breaking it into high temperatures without cracking is to heat it very gradually. I heated it to 350 and 400 on two separate occasions before going higher, then when I was ready to get to 450/500 I did so over the course of a couple hours the first time. It yields an awesome, crispy pizza crust!

Stone worked well for about a month. Guess its not really made for what i was using it for. after a month it has cracked into 4 pieces. I was using it in a TurboChef Tornado oven as a cheaper replacement to the overpriced TurboChef stone. Guess i should have spent the extra money on the real deal.

This economical pizza stone does an awesome job baking pizzas, flatbreads, and more. The pizza stone is almost square, but take note that it is actually rectangular and put it in with the wide size parallel to the oven door to help it fit better in a residential oven. Make sure you heat the stone slowly to prevent cracking.

I ordered 5 stones, for my customers. 2 came broken and Webstraunt replaced them immediately.

This is a super sturdy and useful pizza stone for many applications. It fits in a standard kitchen oven and holds a decent sized pizza. I also use it for biscuits and scones - great crust every time.

Exactly as described. 15"x12", made of ceramic. Slightly rough on the top, has a slight pattern on the bottom (maybe from the mold or for strength?). I purchased two, one for each rack in the oven and so far they are working well. The largest difference is in retaining and maintaining the oven heat, I notice it is heat cycling less often as I am making my breads. Works as intended, price is right.

Hard to believe they can sell these for such great prices! Discipline really super for baking bread and pizzas. Be sure you preheat the stone for at least half an hour in the oven at the temperature you want gives wonderful crispy and brick oven results Shipping was so fast. I would highly recommend this product we had no problem with any kind of smells

This is a great and inexpensive pizza stone. I use it at 450-500 degrees in my home oven to make pizza. I preheat it for a half hour in the oven prior to cooking. It's not really thick and heavy, but I like that because it makes it easier to store and remove from the cupboard.

Make sure to read instructions in order to get full appreciation of stone. Pizza came out crispy and did not burn. Happy with purchase !

We actually ordered 2. One cracked the very first day the other has lasted quite a while. Good for low volume pizza and flat breads.

We use this pizza stone in our restraint for making not only pizza but bread etc. It holds heat well. Great product for a good price!

This stone made the house smell horrible. Smell like chemicals or something Smelled like chemicals or something I tried cooking it off at a hi temp and rinsing it with hot water. U used it for over a month before I threw it in the trash. Maybe it was just the stone I received. I have been using another brand for a long time and I’m going to stick with it.

Bought this on 9/16/2016 and it has held up well. It is almost solid black now, and it has some pooled oil dried on top in places, but I scrape it with a flexible metal tool and steel wool it to clean unwanted buildup off of it. I will put a little soap on it now, but didn't early on before it got seasoned well. I use it for breads, cookies, and other pastries. If they have any leakage potential, I just lay down a wax paper or use a silicone sheet on top to allow the sugary cinnamon goo to caramelize and be easier to remove. (Not because I don't want it on my stone, but because I do want it on my plate) I love these stones for cooking because you can't burn stuff on them. You can overcook things, but the bottoms of stuff almost never gets black or even dark brown. They cook pizzas pretty well, too. These are the only baking sheets you need.

Awesome basic pizza stone, has a decent weight behind it and feels like good quality for the price. I have used it a couple of dozen times with no signs of craving/warping. I would recommend to anyone looking for a cheap pizza stone.

Outstanding Baking Stone American Metalcraft STONE12 15" x 12" Rectangular Ceramic Economy Pizza Stone I purchased the American Metalcraft STONE12 15" x 12" Rectangular size to fit into my Breville Countertop Convection Oven, this pizza stone’s porous surface draws moisture away from the dough for crispier crusts. Its special construction also distributes heat evenly across the entire pizza to maintain an even baking temperature. Perfectly sized. Clean with spatula to remove any debris, then wipe with warm water only. The frame makes it easy to handle but you must use gloves it handling hot. I use a pizza peel to remove the pizza, then let this cool in the oven before removing. Excellent stone that works in oven and on grill. I personally prefer putting this in the oven, then pre-heat oven. Allow the stone to get hot for 30 minutes.

This was great! Got the homemade pizza nice and crisp on the edges, and I think it would be better if I left it in the oven a bit longer. Cleanup is a breeze!

This was perfect! I have a smaller oven that I do some minor baking in and this size fit exactly while the round didn't. Exactly what I needed!

I ordered this stone for pizza making. Put the cold stone in the cold oven and set the temp for 550 degrees. I put the first pizza on the stone and it cracked. Customer service is 5 star though. Their communication and promptness are awesome! They refunded me the cost. Thanks again for the great customer service!!!

The pizza stone is made of solid material and holds heat well. It is difficult to clean properly and holds stains, but still functions well despite this.

This is a decent pizza stone. Ours has gotten stained after a couple of uses, but this is of no practical importance. Our first one came broken, but the websteraunt store replaced it which was great.

Great for keeping the heat in and consistent for home ovens. The sharp corner design is not as optimal however as those corners are weaker and may chip or break off from bumps or use over time. Use two together with an oven rack in between and you'll have yourself a simple pizza oven in an oven. Great price too

Cooked a good few pizzas nice and even (at 475, then 525) but then cracked while cooking a baguette. Pretty strange, but overall I'm sure this isn't a common problem.

This has been a great stone! I have yet to make pizza on it, but I have made bread, cookies, and biscuits on it . /

Excellent quality pizza stone! Perfect size to sit at the bottom of our oven. We make pizzas quite often and this stone has produced an even bake every time.

I liked this because it did heat evenly and well - it is super heavy - but ultimately I retired it because even with light home use it got so gross I couldn't bear it. I found it difficult to clean in the recommended way. I think this is personal preference more than anything which is why I'm still giving it 4 stars.

It worked fine during lunch making three small pizzas at four hundred seventy five degrees but by dinner time dripped small amount of sauce and it cracked with a loud sound. Two stars because it worked for the first three pizzas but not happy with a cracked pizza stone.

Having a square stone (vs. the round) has made it easier to bake loaves of bread. This stone made a great crust on the pizza placed directly onto it as well.

This is a nice quality product for the price. I've used it to cook pizza and other products with success, and just leave it in my oven other times to maintain a more even temperature throughout the oven.

I can't say it was a good product because it came shattered from shipment but the quality of the stone looks great and I'm sure I would've loved it's performance.

I'm a person who take seriously the instructions, I read many bad reviews about this Ceramic Pizza Stone, but I tell my self probably those people doesn't follow the instructions, I was wrong, I cooked 2 pizzas, the first one was no problem but with the second the stone get broken and was a mess in my oven, I will sugest to Webstaursntstore.com to not sale this kind of bad product, it ruined our lunch, it was frustrating.

This pizza stone is an excellent addition to your kitchen. It helps your pizza crust cook perfectly and avoids soggy crust which is a horrible feature

This pizza stone is an ideal way to keep pizza crusts crisp and not soggy. I'd recommend buying multiple to save on the bulk discount.

Before I used this pizza peeI I made sure to gradually increase my ovens temperature starting at 200° For one hour then increased it every hundred degrees every hour gradually and then turn the oven off the first time I used it to bake I repeated the steps and then I used my pizza peel and it worked great the second time I used it it worked wonderful until my pizza was just about done after rotating it within five minutes I noticed the pizza pill was cracked when removing the pizza from the oven I called to see if it can be replaced and it could not be replaced great price but I don’t know why the pizza peel broke it worked well once but not the second time have to buy another

We use it all the time. Not just for pizza's but for calzons and more. Very sturdy for our use. Heats up fast, holds the heat and cooks evenly.

Great product for use for both your business or home. Perfect size to fit a 12-14 inch size pizza. Heats products evenly throughout. Also, this is great for use with an outdoor grill. Super way to host a summer BBQ!

This pizza stone has worked out fantastic for me! I looked around for quite awhile and could not find any store that could beat the price. I am very happy with this product especially for the price being half of what others are.

Lightweight but durable - a great value!! We use these to cook our gluten-free pizza crusts and they did an excellent job. I'm so glad we ordered 5 of them!

use full in our kitchen. you will perfectly cooke a fresh pizza using this this square stone. it make more yummy pizza. will buy more of this.

I bought this for my home. I put it on the rack in the center in my barbecue grill. Now it's a pizza oven. Leave the center burners off and just use the outer burners with the dome cover closed.. Let the stone heat up for at least 30 minutes. Be careful not to burn the bottom of the pie. Simply slide a 14" pizza screen under the pizza if it starts to get too dark.
