Ooni Pizza Steel

Unlike ceramic stones, the Ooni Pizza Steel is made from 430-grade stainless steel, which conducts heat much more efficiently. This allows it to transfer heat into your dough faster, resulting in a significantly crispier crust in a shorter amount of time.

Yes, the steel comes unseasoned. You will need to apply a light coating of food-safe oil and heat it in your oven to create a natural, non-stick patina before you start baking.

Yes, the steel is compatible with both conventional ovens and grills. Just ensure your grill temperature does not exceed the maximum rating of 527°F to prevent damage to the material.

No, the steel is not dishwasher safe. To clean it, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth once it has completely cooled, and avoid using harsh soaps or soaking it in water to prevent rust.

Because the steel is dense and heavy, it requires time to absorb and distribute heat evenly throughout its surface. Preheating for at least 30 minutes ensures the steel is hot enough to provide that signature crisp crust the moment your pizza touches it.

The Ooni Pizza Steel measures 13.46 by 13.46 inches. Before purchasing, measure your oven rack to ensure you have at least this much clearance, keeping in mind that you need enough space to safely slide a pizza peel in and out.
