Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Amazon.com Review

Updating the historic tradition of stone baking for today's household kitchen, Sassafras offers a baking brick boasting even heat distribution and moisture absorption. Dry heat generated from stone produces crispier crust, making this ideal for preparing pizza, breads, and cookies. Although microwave- and convection-safe, the stone's 13-by-15-inch size makes it best suited to the traditional oven. Lifting and transporting are simplified with the included metal rack designed to fit snugly without slipping and provide two handles. Stoneware care consists primarily of avoiding thermal shock--extreme changes in temperature--and hand washing with hot water. It is best to avoid using cleaning agents as the stone may retain and pass on a soapy flavor. The disk can double as a serving piece and won't scratch with the use of knives and other cutting tools. Reinforcing this point, the set comes complete with a 2-1/2 inch circular pizza cutter. -- Amy Arnold

Not a good choice - Reviewed on 2008-09-18

This piece had several problems. It cracked easily during normal use due to thermal shock. The cheese and sauce burned on and is difficult to remove. I have a normal size oven and this is a bit too small in width. The pizza cutter is also junky. It would be better to buy a better one separately.

I replaced this stone with a set of unfinished clay tiles from the hardware store (one whole one and one cracked in half that do a much better job of crisping the pizza because they hold more heat and yet they haven't cracked under heavier usage.

Good for the price - Reviewed on 2008-08-29

This baking stone is so great but it stained after the first use. I didn't melt the cheese on it and followed the direction carefully but it still stained. It's like a piece of a ceremic tile. Nothing too fancy here.

this item was packaged by? I don't see how it could have made it to me
much less to the dilevery person in in all the peices I got it in.
there was one air bag folded over it inside, was sand by the time I receved.
sence it was cheep & not wanting to waste hours of my time I neglected
to return it. but it was a good lesson learned! if you want sand go to the beach.

Great Stone - Reviewed on 2008-06-12

The size is perfect for creating breads and pizzas. It is heavy but not too much to handle. Rack makes it so easy to handle hot with out touching the stone. Cleans in a jiff. Cutter is sharp and rugged.

doesn't crisp, what am I doing wrong? - Reviewed on 2008-04-08

I bake frozen pizza and reheat store-bought pre-baked baguettes on this stone, not only does it not crisp the bread/crust up better than a "naked" oven rack, it actually makes it stay soft! I must be doing something wrong, although I follow the instructions. I preheat the stone before I put the pizza or bread on as instructed. I don't wash it much so it will keep its oil as instructed. I definitely don't use soap. Everytime I used the stone, I end up getting soft crust! I have to then move the super hot, heavy stone out of the way so I can rebake the pizza/bread on a naked oven rack to crisp it up. I keep trying over and over because everyone loves pizza stones so much, but I think I'm going to give up and throw it out. What am I doing wrong?!!
