Caprihom Round Pizza Stone for Grill 16 inch with Handles - Heavy Duty Cordierite Pizza Stone for Oven -Thermal Shock Resistant Baking Stone, Includes Metal Rack & Scraper

As a professional baker, I’m extremely selective about the tools I use, especially when it comes to bread. I initially purchased this pizza stone to test in a home setup for recipe development outside the bakery, and I have to say—it performs exceptionally well, even by commercial standards. While marketed as a pizza stone, it’s truly a multi-purpose baking surface. I primarily use it for baguettes, and it consistently produces a crisp, blistered crust with that signature crackle when cooled—exactly what you’d expect from a professional deck oven. The stone retains and distributes heat evenly, which is critical for proper oven spring and uniform coloring. My baguettes rise beautifully and have an open crumb, which is difficult to achieve without the right baking surface. What really sets this stone apart is its thickness and durability. It holds heat incredibly well, maintaining a steady bake even when loading multiple loaves. I’ve used it repeatedly at high temperatures, and there’s been no warping or cracking—something I’ve seen even with higher-end stones in the past. For home bakers trying to replicate bakery-quality baguettes, this is as close as you can get without a full steam-injected deck oven. I always recommend preheating the stone for at least 45 minutes, using a baking peel or parchment for easy transfer, and introducing steam into the oven during the first few minutes of the bake. Those three steps, combined with this stone, will elevate your bread to a professional level. Whether you’re a serious home baker or a professional looking for a reliable test-kitchen tool, this pizza stone is an absolute workhorse. It’s earned a permanent place in my toolkit.

this thing is huge and awesome.. MAKE SURE you measure the inside of your oven to ensure that it fits. i left about an inch clearance on all sides of the stone to the oven walls which works out great. i've had no problems with cracking. i make crusty bread which means i heat my oven to 500 degrees F and let it hold that temp for at least 45 minutes before putting the dough on parchment paper directly on the stone. i also lightly spray water on the dough and stone to get some steam in the oven. my bread gets a wonderful rise and gets a wonderful crunchy and chewy crust. yup the stone is somewhat heavy, it's supposed to be.... not sure why some of the reviews complain about that. it's stone, duhh schleprock

This seems to be a good quality stone and it fits perfectly in one side of my grill. I have cooked mini pizzas on this and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. For all my shopping efforts this seems to be a great prize.

Great pizza stone, fits out BBQ so we can cook 2 personal pizza's at a time in a few minutes. Cooks evenly.

This is the perfect size to put into the oven for baking breads like sourdough and pizza. I can fit at least 3 to 4 loafs of sourdough and open bake them perfectly. I wanted a stone that was as large as a rack in my oven and this is pretty close to filling one rack. The quality is good and thick so it is a bit heavy. There's no smell and it's easy to wipe off clean (not supposed to wash with water). It gets very hot so it's good for baking breads and pizzas in the oven or even on the grill. Works great for me.

We use this product almost every week to have pizza night in our garage! It's perfect for getting the family together for a fun evening. It cooks the pizza in 5mins time and so easy to clean after. Just wipe down and your done. Great investment! Will definitely recommend!

I own over a half a dozen stones and make a lot of pizza from scratch. This is the best quality finished stone I have ever seen outside of a pizza parlor. Seasoning a large thick stone was a challenge but well worth it. After 8 months of weekly use in 500 degree heat, it works well. This stone fits perfectly in my existing oven rack and I can easily cook 2 medium to large pizzas at the same time.

Pizza stone works great , crisp crust. I preheat it for a half an hour at 550f
