Precision CNC laser-cut in the USA, it fits most standard ovens and doubles as a versatile griddle for grilling and campfire cooking. Built to last with no coatings to wear off, it develops a natural non-stick patina and resists thermal shock, making it the professional’s choice for fast, high-quality cooking. ## Description It all starts out with the material which is an ultra high conductive alloy produced in the USA, and a well thought out design. You will notice a perfect fit and finish across all of our products. We utilize precision CNC laser cutting to ensure the highest quality edges and perfect dimensions every time, regardless of the thickness and shape. The ThermiChef cooking steel conducts heat up to 20x more efficiently than a pizza stone! This creates crispy, wood-fired-style pizza that can be enjoyed at home! Additionally, pizza stones are constructed from a more fragile material and are prone to breaking when dropped or exposed to a rapid temperature change. These pizza steels won't succumb to breakage from heat or clumsiness! Pizza steels are also more versatile and can cook many meals! For most, the standard thickness is perfect. However, if you are cooking for a long period or a large group, the deluxe line is best because it retains more heat. In short, no you do not. You will want to scrape any remaining food off of the steel after each use and apply a thin layer of oil to prevent rust. Treat our cookware the same way you would a well seasoned cast iron pan Our cooking steels can be used in the oven or on the grill! Cook anything from pizzas and bread to burgers and sauteed veggies Use your steel anywhere! You don't have to use the steel in your home oven alone, our steels work great on the grill, the smoker, or even a campfire! Don't be afraid to experiment with your ThermiChef Pizza Steel, you might just be surprised what you can create using methods other than your oven! Our pizza steel mimics the delicious texture that is produced by top of the line brick pizza ovens at a fraction of the cost. These steel cooking plates provide you with extremely fast cooking times, restaurant quality texture and flavor! This is easily achieved due to extremely high heat transfer and a proprietary cleaning and preparation method. Not just for pizza, grill burgers, steaks, veggies and more on your steel from ThermiChef! Experience a better sear on your favorite meats and faster cook times when roasting vegetables. Looking for a unique gift? Look no further! Whether it's a holiday, birthday, or a random surprise, we've got you covered! ## Features - CRISPY CRUST IN UNDER 10 MINUTES - This 16x16 pizza steel conducts heat up to 20x more efficiently than a ceramic pizza stone, providing intense, even heat distribution. Preheat your oven to 500°F with the steel in it for 45–60 minutes and cook a pizza in under 8 minutes. Achieve the same restaurant-quality results of a wood-fired oven using your standard oven at home! - 16x16 FITS MOST STANDARD OVENS - This steel can cook pizzas up to 15" in diameter and fits comfortably on most full-size oven racks. Measure your oven's interior depth before ordering to make sure this 16" cooking steel will fit. The 14" x 14" is recommended for compact or apartment-sized ovens. This heavy-duty steel is designed for maximum heat retention, weighing 27.5 lbs or about as much as a case of bottled water. - IS 3/8" RIGHT FOR YOU? The 3/8" Deluxe is built for back-to-back cooking since it stores more heat than thinner steels and recovers faster between pizzas. If you're hosting, batch cooking, or serious about bread baking, this is the right call. If you're cooking one pizza at a time and want something lighter to handle, the 1/4" gives you most of the performance at roughly 10 lbs less. The lightweight 3/16" steels are easier to manuever and best for thin crust pizzas. - OVEN, GRILL, STOVETOP, CAMPFIRE - Great for more than just pizza, use this steel for sourdough bread, smash burgers, roasted vegetables, breakfast, and flatbreads. At 16" x 16" it fits over two burners on most gas and electric ranges. On the grill, it works as a flat-top griddle surface with the same low-carbon steel handling direct flame without warping. - MADE IN THE USA & BUILT TO LAST - Precision CNC laser-cut from a single piece of low-carbon steel in Minnesota. Ships shot-blasted (not pre-seasoned) - season it once before first use: wash, apply a thin coat of oil, and bake at 375°F for one hour. After that, it builds a natural non-stick patina with every use, similar to cast iron. No Teflon, no PFAS, no coatings that chip or wear off. Virtually indestructible, it won't crack from thermal shock like a ceramic stone. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B085S8XRRB | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,478 in Kitchen & Dining (See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining) #2 in Pizza Pans & Stones | | Brand Name | THERMICHEF | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (675) 4.6 out of 5 stars | | Included Components | Pizza Steel | | Item Dimensions L X W X Thickness | 16"L x 16"W x 0.38"Th | | Item Type Name | Pizza Steel | | Item Weight | 27 pounds | | Manufacturer | Conductive Cooking | | Manufacturer Part Number | PS001-04 | | Material Type | 3/8" Deluxe Version | | Maximum Temperature | 1000 °F | | Model Number | PS001-04 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number Of Packs | 1 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash | | Shape | Square | | Size | 16"x16" Square | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** THERMICHEF - **Color:** Silver - **Material:** 3/8" Deluxe Version - **Product Care Instructions:** Hand Wash - **Shape:** Square ## Images ![16" x 16" Pizza Steel - 3/8" Steel, 27.5 lbs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jwj7bfC5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Material Type, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great upgrade to my pizza making tools *by on Reviewed in the United States April 12, 2026* Came quickly, well packed, and in excellent condition. I washed it with mild soap, applied a thin coat of oil, and seasoned it in the oven at 350 °F for one hour as instructed.While doing this, I kept my pizza stone in the oven to compare performance—actually giving the stone a slight advantage since it was positioned closer to the heating element. Despite that, the baking steel clearly outperformed the stone. It reached maximum temperature faster (measured with an infrared thermometer) and, more importantly, retained heat significantly better after 15 and 30 minutes with the oven turned off.I purchased the 20 × 14 × 3/8 inch version so I can bake two pizzas at once. This is a solid piece of steel, and its ~30 lb weight is not a drawback—it’s actually a major part of why it performs so well. The higher mass (and therefore thermal capacity) allows it to store more energy and transfer heat more efficiently into the dough, resulting in better oven spring and crust development compared to a stone.Because of that weight, I plan to keep it in the oven unless necessary to remove it. The dimensions listed on the product page are accurate, so in my opinion, complaints about it not fitting or being too heavy are not particularly justified—the specifications are clearly stated.Overall, a very worthwhile upgrade over a traditional pizza stone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Pizza Steel *by on Reviewed in the United States July 4, 2026* This is an awesome pizza steel delivering fantastic results for pizza. Note the 3/8" thick steel is quite heavy and large, and you want to be careful handling it to put it in the oven - you do not want to drop this on your foot! For best results you take your bottom oven rack and put it in the lowest rung in your oven and let it heat for at least a full hour after your oven reaches the desired temperature. I usually cook thin crust pizza at 500 degrees right on the steel and it takes less than 8 minutes to cook beautifully. This steel is also easy to clean. One last comment, you will need to season it when you first get it - tip - open some windows and turn on your exhaust fan as it will put off some smoke and fumes when you do this. The first time I used it it still gave off a little bit of fumes, but not after that. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal griddle, baking stone, and pastry slab all in one, but don't sell your skillets *by on Reviewed in the United States August 6, 2020* I got the XL size because I wanted to be able to use it as a 2-burner griddle, and for that, it works perfectly. Just in the first few days of owning it, I cooked 6 tortillas at once for tacos, browned 3 lbs of chicken in one go, and slowly caramelized 6 onions while keeping other pots and pans free for other tasks. For pizza, its intended use, it produces crisp crusts like a champ, and its size and shape make it perfect for chilling and using as a pastry slab for croissants. It's the ultimate "pan" for cooking for a crowd, and it makes my 12-inch cast iron skillet look small and cramped by comparison.Downsides? It's a thick slab of steel. It is quite heavy and, despite its versatility, it isn't enjoyable to move from oven to stove to fridge to counter all the time. Second, it takes a long, long time to properly heat and cool, which is why I wouldn't want to leave it in the oven permanently. Its heat sink abilities work against you in this way; it takes a lot for this thing to change temperature, and that's good if you're making bread or keeping something cold, but it's also a drag when you're trying to get it up to temp. If I'm using it as a griddle, I'll turn on the burners before I even get out the flour to mix the tortilla dough. Definitely not good for impromptu or short-notice cooking.These downsides come from the same qualities that make this steel so great, so they're not at all surprising. This is a tool that is both versatile and specialized: versatile because its ability to store heat on a large surface is useful in myriad applications, but specialized because that ability to store heat comes with some significant practical drawbacks for everyday cooking. This steel will get you great results for a particular set of tasks, and if you have the ability and luxury to plan ahead, it can't be beat. ## Frequently Bought Together - THERMICHEF - Square Pizza Steel Plate for Oven Cooking and Baking (3/8" Deluxe, 16”x16” Square) - Made in USA - American METALCRAFT, Inc. 16' x 18' Aluminum Pizza Peel with 12' Wood Handle 3016, 30-Inch, Silver - New Star Foodservice 50332 Restaurant-Grade Wooden Pizza Peel, 18" L x 16" W Plate, with 8" L Wooden Handle, 26" Overall Length --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/196491541-16-x-16-pizza-steel-3-8-steel-27-5](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/196491541-16-x-16-pizza-steel-3-8-steel-27-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
