Pizza Stone - Baking Stone. SOLIDO Rectangular 14"x16" - Perfect for Oven, BBQ and Grill

The SOLIDO rectangular pizza stone seems much more sturdy than my former stone (by a different manufacturer), which shattered one day in my oven.I usually don't really care about product packaging, but this stone came in a heavy box. The pizza stone was lined on all sides by tightly fitting foam which protected the heavy item during shipment. The box makes a perfect long-term storage container for the stone. The stone is pretty big, so I don't have a convenient place for it on my kitchen shelves. But I can stow the box in my pantry, standing next to a shelf. After the oven cools, I simply dusted off the stone and slipped it back into the box until I need it again.The stone doesn't really "do" anything other than to create a perfect cooking surface for the pizza. Nothing more, nothing less. And it works perfectly in this task. It is well-designed and manufactured. The heat spiral in particular, is a distinctive design feature I had not seen before. I think it's fair to say it did make a difference in the way that the heat is transmitted/retained by the stone - which ultimately translated into an even cook on the pizza - Delizioso!This product also came with concise instructions about proper care. The overall instructions can be summed up as: just use it. Don't scrub/soak/wash it. Sounds good to me. The additional support and pizza recipes are a nice touch as well.My first efforts (using homemade dough) got great reviews from the family. It should work just as well with store-bought dough, or for that matter with frozen pizzas from the supermarket. I don't really bake but because of it's rectangular shape and judging by my results with pizza, I have no doubt that avid bakers would find this stone equally appealing. I would recommend the SOLIDO recatangular stone to pizza lovers and baking enthusiasts alike. #1 Pizza Stone - Baking Stone. SOLIDO Rectangular 14"x16" - Perfect for Oven, BBQ and Grill

I am very impressed with this stone. It is much larger than I expected, but fits perfectly in my oven. It is also fairly thick, so there is a lot of thermal mass. It does take a while to heat up, but it also retains heat well. It has a spiral on the bottom, which I suppose helps to distribute the heat better. I'm no science major, but it seems like a good idea. Dunno how it affects the heating of the stone, but it's an interesting talking point. I haven't actually had any in depth discussions about this pizza stone, but I'm just saying.Until now, my solution to soggy crust was to briefly cook my pizza on a griddle, but with this stone I get the perfect crunchy crust every time. Also, the large surface area means I can cook much larger pizza. I usually cook a couple of 10"-12" pies so that they will fit on my griddle, but now I can simply cook 1 large pizza. I really need to get a good peel though. I'm currently using an upside down baking pan to transfer my pizza. It works, but sometimes my pizza gets caught on the lip and I have a crinkled pizza.I also enjoy baking bread, so I cant wait to try it out for that application. I am certain that this will do wonders for my homemade bread.I have the luxury of access to a blazing hot stone oven, which make amazing pizzas in just a couple of minutes. While it would be awesome to have an oven like that in my home, it is a bit impractical. This stone is the perfect alternative, I am very happy with this purchase.

Was looking for baking stone replace one I've had for over 10 years. I bake a lot of pizza and bread so I needed one that would stand up to wear and tear I would put on it. The ones I found in the typically kitchenware stores were cheap and thin (I've tried those before and they are a waste of money).I was a little skeptical when I read all of the great reviews for this stone. I thought to myself, "how much do these folks REALLY use the stone? Occasionally pizza?". After reading the product specs I placed my order.When I received the stone I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of construction. The stone was as thick as my old stone, plus has ridges on the bottom to increase the strength. I put it to use right away and it did not disappoint. It fills the width bottom rack of my oven approx. 70% and almost 100% in depth.The stone surface is large enough for 1 medium sized pizza or 2 - 9" round loaves of bread. When baking bread I mist my oven with water to create steam and this stone has so far has had zero issues.Very happy with the purchase!

The Oven Stone was just what I wanted. Nice design. Fits nicely on oven rack. Packed with the stone was a card encouraging registration and you could "sign up" for other information etc. The URL on the card is up for sale and there is no way to contact the manufacturer that I could easily discern. Probably not fatal Just annoying.
