This extra-large 20 x 14 x 0.67-inch cordierite pizza stone gives home ovens and grills the thermal mass needed for a pizzeria-style crisp bottom crust. The thicker 0.67-inch stone stores more heat than thinner stones, so it bakes evenly and keeps cooking steady even with repeated use, while its porous surface pulls moisture from the dough to prevent a soggy center. Heat-resistant to 1450 degrees F, it won't warp or crack under high oven or grill temperatures, and it bakes without any off odors that could affect flavor. At 11.68 pounds, it's sturdy but still manageable to lift into place. A PP plastic scraper is included for trimming dough or cleaning baked-on residue. Simply wash with warm water and a damp cloth once cooled - no soap needed. Because it fits ovens, grills, and barbecues alike, measure your appliance first and leave about 0.8 to 2 inches of clearance around the stone before your first bake.
