Kitchen Supply Co. Baking/Pizza Stone:
For making the crispiest crusts on your pizza or bread, nothing works as nicely as a clay stone. Because it's made of clay (and because of its weight – about 10 pounds), 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. This stone also includes the new "Heat Core" feature, which has been been incorporated into the stones to concentrate heat at the center to deliver a delicious crispy crust evenly throughout your pizza. This solves the occasional problem of an under-baked center while the outer edge is perfectly crisp and crunchy. Made for baking pizza, it's also great for baking flat breads, rolls and focaccia. Also safe for temperatures exceeding 500 degrees.
The original baking stone for home use was introduced by Old Stone Oven in 1973, designed by international pizza expert, Pasquale Bruno. The stones are known for having a porosity and heat retention that is unmatched for giving a delicate crispy, restaurant-quality crust to any pizza, focaccia or bread in a standard home oven. Pressed under 100 tons of pressure and fired at over 2000°F., the stones are extremely durable and can also be used on both charcoal and gas grills. Old Stone Oven continues to manufacture its stones in the USA from a proprietary blend of domestic clays.

by Joseph (Bandon, OR) 1 review We have baked bread for 50 years, but never on a stone. We have never had bread so good since using the baking stone. It's wonderful. It came packaged with great care. Would urge serious bread bakers to buy now.
by Mary (Bandon, OR) 2 reviews While the stone in not as thick as I would like (it sits on feet), it has worked well so far. I have had it for a little more than a month (always in oven) and it has withstood frequent use (e.g. pizza, french bread baking, etc). The stone came well packaged, and I would have been surprised if it had been broken.
by Elmer (Warren, NH) 1 review For years my wife has tried different pizza pans sold on the market with hopes of making the perfect pizza. Time after time, she was left disappointed as most pizzas never cooked evenly. Well that has all changed now that we have our very first pizza stone. Pizzas now cook evenly and come out perfect! I wish that we never waited so long to invest in a stone. If you are looking to make a great pizza, this pizza stone won't disappoint you. It makes the best pizza ever.
