In light of the unfortunate breakage of my Ooni stone, I made the decision to purchase this alternative. Initially, I contemplated replacing the stone, but the potential for further cracking deterred me. Consequently, the steel plate was selected. While it is heavier than the stone, it heats up considerably faster. Moreover, its exceptional cooking performance at the bottom is a significant advantage.

Para un horno doméstico, mucho mejor que la típica piedra de cordierita.Coge más temperatura en menos tiempo , por lo que la lasa levanta más en menos tiempo,conservando más humedad en el interior, y el dorado en la base que se consigue con una placa metálica no lo vas a lograr nunca con la piedra ( hablando siempre de un horno doméstico típico).Además es infinitamente más limpio y no tienes el riesgo de que se parta o dañe con el uso.Una compra para toda la vida

Great product. Helps get a nice crispy crust on my home made pizza. Fits great in the oven.

First time using a baking steel and I'm so happy i bought it. I bought with the intent of getting crispier crust on frozen pizzas like Digiorno. When cooking it on the rack, you get mess and you get burnt edges before the bottom crisps up enough. Using the baking steel, i get a nice even crispy bottom. Your mileage may vary, but you may need to reduce temp and possibly even cook time to avoid burning. For me cooking a diogiorno, it came out perfectly by preheating the oven and steel at 425° for 30 min, then reducing ghe temp to 375 when I put the pizza in and cooked for 20 minutes. P

After my pizza stone decided to dramatically retire into a hundred pieces, I upgraded to this steel beast. Built like it could survive a nuclear winter, and produces pizza bases that would make an Italian nonna proud.Heats up like a dream and maintains temperature better than my stone ever did. Ten pizzas in, and every single base has been perfectly crispy - no more soggy middle syndrome.Worth every penny, just don't drop it on your foot.

Der Chef Pomodoro Backstahl hat mich absolut begeistert und meine Pizzaback-Ergebnisse auf ein neues Level gehoben! Die Maße von 41 x 34 cm passen perfekt in meinen Ofen, und die Dicke von 0,6 cm sorgt dafür, dass der Stahl die Wärme hervorragend speichert und gleichmäßig abgibt. Dadurch wird der Boden wunderbar knusprig – fast wie in einem professionellen Pizzaofen.Besonders toll finde ich, dass der Stahl nicht nur für Pizza geeignet ist, sondern auch für Brot und andere Teigwaren. Die Reinigung ist kinderleicht: Nach dem Abkühlen einfach abwischen und abtrocknen. Ein kleiner Tipp: Es dauert ein paar Minuten länger, den Backstahl aufzuheizen, aber das Ergebnis ist die Geduld definitiv wert.Ich kann den Chef Pomodoro Backstahl allen Hobby-Bäckern wärmstens empfehlen – ein absolutes Must-have für perfekte Pizza zuhause! 🍕

Sourdough has a nice bottom. Pizzas come out with a lovely crusty bottom. Has good heat retention. Easy to clean.

I needed a second pizza steel for a party. Couldn't get one fast enough from my original supplier, the one with their own website. This one arrive quickly and is at least as good as the other. The hole to pick it up is very handy for the weight. And it cost about half what my original one did.

Tough to properly cook bagels in a regular oven, but a solid baking steel, such as this one, is all that it takes to get just the right chewy texture.

I have been baking sourdough since before the pandemic. I started using a Dutch oven, graduated to a challenger pan but found both of those vessels to be too heavy for regular use. Recently I bought a baking shell made of aluminum. The manufacturer stated it needed a flat surface. The baking steel came to mind. It performs beautifully, heats up well, retains the heat and so far has not stained. All of these qualities make it a great surface for pizza in a home oven.

I got this to go with my Ooni Koda 12" gas fired pizza oven.It (the smaller one) fits perfect in my Ooni.But it turns out it works too well! After testing with this and the default stone that ships with the Ooni, I find the char of the stone is proportionally correct for the neopolitan pizza style. The steel over does the char.Now, this is completely opposite what happens in a regular oven in a kitchen that goes to 550 degrees. In such an oven, this steel is GREAT. It helps make the cook more successful.But in the Ooni, which can go to 900 degrees, the steel is not required.And while some people say they prefer the steel because it is easier to keep clean, and that is technically true, I just run the stone through the super heat of the Ooni, or through the "clean" cycle of our household oven, and that cleans it right up!
