This is a piece of raw steel plate with a mill finish. Review: Awesome, just buy it! - It's a steel plate with a mill scale finish on it that needs to be removed. Most people put it in a vinegar/water mixture for about 24-48 hours and it pretty much just washes off. I am not that patient, not at all. I was excited to get my pizza steel and upon arrival, I started to sand the edges. Since I was sanding the edges already and I do recommend sanding/filing the edges as they are kinda sharp, I decided to sand the entire plate. I have heard that the reason cast iron cooks so well is because of the uneven surface. I have seen YouTube videos of people polishing the bottoms and they are not as anti-stick as when rough! I hand sanded it (used sponge backer) with 320 grit sandpaper of pretty good quality since a rougher surface seems to hold more oil and therefore a more desirable end result. The entire process of sanding and easing the edges took about 45 minutes to an hour. I brought it inside and washed it as the oven was heating up to 350*F. I coated it with a thin layer of olive oil and put it in there for an hour, I then let it cool to about 95*F before applying another coat of olive oil and put it in the oven again at 425*F for an hour. The patina or surface had turned a brown tone as you can see in the picture and seemed super slick. I cooked a pizza on it the next day after heating the oven and steel up to 550*F. Upon sliding the pizza onto the steel it didn't have that grab that my pizza stone had so make sure you pizza is able to slide off your peal. I cooked my pizza for 6 minutes and took it out. I was so surprised that the seasoning on the steel made it so slippery! I was amazed with the pizza crust as it was browned just perfectly. I love this pizza steel and have started to make pizza more often since cooking it in a home oven gives me better results than my local pizza shop. Clean up is a breeze, when cool I just wipe it clean with a damp cloth and put a very light coating of oil on it. I store it in the bottom oven and leave it in there till I am ready to cook again as it is pretty heavy being a thick 16" x 16" piece of steel. I highly recommend this item and would 100% buy this again. It was the cheapest pizza steel on desertcart at the time of my purchase because you have to season it yourself. I believe it is well worth the time to prep it for use and save the $60 + on one that was not seasoned as well as what I did. Review: Revolutionized my pizza game! - THIS is the pizza steel you want to buy because it works perfectly and is the best value for your money you can find. The steel gets very hot, and the trick is to getting it hot at about 500 degrees for 45 min or so before baking. Pizza goes on, sizzle sizzle, after a few min the crust is PERFECTLY crisp. If you've made homemade pizza before without the pizza steel, then you know it can be a challenge to get the middle of the pizza crust baked and crisp, but the pizza steel solves this issue entirely and you will never go to a restaurant for pizza again. The steel did come directly from the factory, and I saw a few reviews that mentioned sharp corners or burs, this is not the case. My pizza steel had rounded corners and it was not sharp or dangerous, aside from the enormous weight- but you should know what you're getting into when you order a sheet of steel. I think it's around 20lbs. There was only 1 bur on my steel but it wasn't really sharp unless maybe if you drop it on your hand, and that can be easily and quickly fixed with a file. The steel was also NOT grimy or very dirty. Sure there was a little, since it came from a factory, but all I did was wipe with a sponge on both sides, dry with towel, cover lightly in olive oil, and the bake at very high heat around 500 or so for an hr or two to let the oil cook onto the steel and create a nonstick surface. If you've ever had to season a pan before, like a cast iron or wok, this is no different. You are buying QUALITY EQUIPMENT so you have to prepare and season it first like you would other quality kitchen equipment. NO COMPLAINTS HERE. This is the best kitchen equipment I've bought all year and it is a game changer for dinner parties and a better alternative to eating out.

THANK YOU ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value *by M***R on August 17, 2025* As many others have noted, this is a simple ΒΌ" slab of A36 steel plate. I received it in a very timely manner packaged as well as a steel plate would need to be. It arrived with some mill scale and a bit of edge-cut blowby on one side; I suspect it was cut on a water table but cannot confirm. The cut edges of the plate were otherwise quite clean. I did an overnight wash in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water, then dried it off. Using a file and 4Β½" angle grinder mounted with a 320-grit flap wheel I cleaned up the one blowby edge and did a very mild roundover on all the edges for a bit more comfortable handling, then switched to another 4Β½" angle grinder wearing a wire cup brush to address the coarser mill scale -- it cleaned up nicely. I then switched back to the grinder with the flap wheel on it to do the final cleanup on both surfaces of the plate. I managed a welding supply shop at one time, so I already had plenty of all these tools on hand. I then rubbed both surfaces and the edges with some used deep-fry peanut oil, stashed the plate in the oven and baked it at 450Β° for an hour and a half. I did that twice more, allowing the plate to cool completely -- which by the way takes some time owing to the heat-retention qualities of this product, a good thing -- between iterations. The plate is now properly seasoned and works wonderfully well for baking pitas, which is why I originally bought it, and for pizzas and other tasks for which you'd normally use such a product. I get great leopard spotting and all the best baking qualities you would want from it. It has been and will be a fine alternative to more expensive options and won't be as fragile as baking stones tend to be. If you have the time and tools to properly prepare this product for its intended use you won't be disappointed. A few caveats: This thing stays hot for quite some time, so you need to give it plenty of time to cool off prior to handling it. Also, as with any flat sheet of steel, you don't want to cool it too rapidly or you would run a risk of warping it. Lastly, as with properly cured cast iron cookware, DO NOT wash this product aggressively. Once properly seasoned, you should only need to wipe it down and occasionally reapply a coat of oil and reseason it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/179915415-fane-1-4-x-16-x-16-steel-plate-a36](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/179915415-fane-1-4-x-16-x-16-steel-plate-a36) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
