Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Let's say your kitchen doesn't have a wood burning brick oven in it, yet you love the texture of the crust from a real pizzeria. Don't despair! This stone will produce an amazingly "genuine" crust right in your own oven.

Amazon.com Review:
Professional pizza and traditional European bread ovens are often lined with stone or brick. This is so heat is stored up and redistributed evenly. The resulting blast of heat from the Old Stone Oven rectangular pizza stone gives bread and pizza a nice chewy crust. The rustic French tarts called galettes are also well suited to a baking stone. To use the stone, place it in a cold oven and preheat to 500 degrees for pizza, or according to the recipe for bread or galettes. The stone is made of the same material that lines blast furnaces and kilns, so it can handle ultra-high temperatures.

Wait until the baking stone is entirely cooled before attempting to clean it. Let it dry completely before using again. Some discoloration will occur over time; this is natural and will not affect baking. Using baking parchment may help delay that discoloration. Do not bake cookies, turnovers or other high-fat items on the stone; the stone would absorb the fat and proceed to produce smoke and bad odors. The stone comes with a flyer that contains detailed use and cleaning instructions, as well as recipes for bread, pizza dough, and two pizza toppings. --Garland Withers

- Broken on Arrival
I'm usually pretty skeptical about the negative reviews on Amazon, but sure enough, my stone arrived in two pieces, as predicted by the naysayers.

I bought this as a gift for my husband last Christmas, and he loved it. However, it cracked within six months, so I'm now seeking a replacement, will not repurchase this brand.

- Baking Stone Extremely Well Packed
Old Stone Oven 14-Inch by 16-Inch Baking Stone

I was hesitant to order this baking stone because of the reviews saying it arrived broken. These reviews were as recent as last spring - so I don't know if the packaging has been redesigned but mine came through fine.

It struck me as extremely well packed. It's in a heavy-duty corrugated cardboard box, held securely in place by corrugated cardboard braces. Then packed as other Amazon shipments are in a larger box, padded with ... Read More

- Three years and no problems
I bought(2)of these in 2005 for ten dollars less each here at amazon. It was a good price then. Too bad it has gone up so much. Nevertheless, I believe they are great for pizza and bread. I have always left them in the oven and take them out to scrape them clean on occasion. I figure they are heat cleaned. I tried the unglazed tile (home depot) in a pan years ago but they did not create a crisp crust. They do not absorb moisture which is why they can be used outside in cold climates..not brutal, but ... Read More
