Product Information

Definitely highly recommended, and even if you don’t have one today you should get one in the future. You will thank me later. A bit on the pricy side but it will last forever. You can always hint it to your friends just around birthday time or holiday season 😉 As you’ve already saw above with my choices for the best baking stones for bread, I didn’t go the traditional route. I first chose to recommend you a cast iron baking pan that acts like a pizza stone without the very high price and the hassle. Allow the bakestone to cool naturally, then wash with warm water to remove the salt. From now on do not clean with any abrasive cleaning material as this will remove the smooth coating and the bakestone will have to be seasoned again.

From our perspective, a cast iron baking pan is a much better option than a pizza stone. There are a lot of factors that make it a better choice. The only better advantage of a pizza stone is that it absorbs all the moisture and enables you to have super crispy pizza that is undoubtedly a great treat. Multipurpose : A Welsh Bakestone can also be used in the oven as a pizza plate. In fact it is a perfect modern Pizza Plate for use in the oven (any oven indoor and outdoor) as it radiates heat evenly and it retains the heat over a long period. Once you have applied the oil, you will want to bake the stone at a medium-high setting so that the oil cooks into the stone, just as it would if you were cooking a pizza. Even so, this ceramic stone is actually impressive, durable, and one of the most affordable on the market. When you are ready to cook, wipe a little fat or oil onto the surface and cook on a low to moderate heat.

More often than not, if you miss your measurements even slightly, your recipe will not turn out nearly as good as it should. Some of the oil or fat can drip off the bakestone on to the top of the oven, which will need cleaning off once you have finished, it cleans easily if cleaned off at once. However to avoid this you can either be careful to avoid spillage, by only using a little oil at a time, or season the bakestone outside on a BBQ or on a portable camping stove where any mess is not such of a problem.

If you are new to the realm of baking pizza and you want to play things on the safe side, you may not be too sure which direction to take.

For beginner bakers, this can be quite intimidating at first. However, once you get the hang of baking, you will get a good feel for when you can relax your measurements and when you can’t. The ones made from steel are very easy to maintain. You can wash them with soap, you can even use a dough scraper to remove any debris, just make sure to completely dry them with a towel after washing them to keep them from rusting. You can store them in the oven, just leave them there even when you’re cooking something that doesn’t require a stone. The pot functions like an incubator: The iron from which the dutch oven is made of is heated in the oven and then evenly heat the bread from all sides (unlike using a baking stone that radiates heat only from the bottom which if you’re not careful can make the bread has a thinner crust, or even get a bit burned at the bottom, but the crust above depends on the heating elements of your oven.

A 16-inch stone will hold larger pizzas, making them ideal for large families and parties, but it will be harder to transport and squeeze into your oven. A smaller pizza stone is more portable, but it also limits pizza size. If you regularly hand-make your pizzas, you can go with a larger stone to make bigger pizzas. But if you’re using frozen, premade pizza, you’re safe going as small as 14 inches.Other than that, there’s not much that I can add. It’s made of cordierite, it’s very good for baking breads and pizzas, but handle it with care if you don’t want to break it. The best baking stones for bread are substitutes for Dutch ovens or other bakeware. While using a Dutch oven to bake bread emulates the baking conditions found in professional bakeries, using a pizza stone comes very close to getting the same results. So, they’re as awesome for bread as they are as pizza makers.
