Made In Pizza Steel

Unlike ceramic stones, which can crack under thermal shock and are prone to moisture retention, carbon steel is virtually indestructible and conducts heat much more efficiently. This allows for faster, more intense browning and a superior crust texture in a standard home oven.

The 86 perforations allow for optimal airflow directly against the bottom of the dough. This helps achieve a crisp, blistered crust similar to what you would expect from a professional wood-fired oven.

Yes, the steel requires seasoning to build a natural, non-stick patina and prevent rust. The included olive oil can be used for this process, which involves coating the surface and heating it to polymerize the oil.

Absolutely. The carbon steel construction is highly durable and designed to withstand the high heat of both gas and charcoal grills, as well as wood-fired ovens.

The steel is hand-wash only. Avoid using soap, which can strip the seasoning; instead, scrub it with warm water and a brush, dry it immediately, and apply a light coat of oil before storing to prevent oxidation.

With a diameter of 12.6 inches, this steel is sized to fit comfortably in almost any standard residential oven. Be sure to measure your oven rack to ensure you have adequate clearance for the steel and your pizza peel.
