Old Stone Oven Pizza Steel

A pizza steel conducts heat much more efficiently than ceramic, resulting in a faster, more intense transfer of heat to the dough. This creates a superior, crispy crust and helps achieve the 'oven spring' necessary for professional-style results.

No, the Old Stone Pizza Steel comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil and is ready to use right out of the box. Over time, the steel will develop a natural, dark patina that improves its non-stick properties and protects it from rust.

The integrated moat is designed to catch excess grease, oils, or juices when you are cooking items like meats, vegetables, or fatty pastries. It prevents these liquids from dripping onto the bottom of your oven or causing flare-ups when using the steel on a grill.

Yes, the 1/4-inch steel construction is durable enough to withstand the high heat of a grill. It is an excellent way to turn your backyard grill into a high-performance pizza oven.

The 1/4-inch thickness is specifically chosen for its structural integrity and resistance to warping. It provides a heavy-duty, stable surface that maintains its shape even under the intense, repeated heat cycles of a home oven or grill.
