Customer Reviews for VEVOR Pizza Steel 16"x14.5"x3/8" Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Pizza Baking Stone

It weighs almost as much as the largest plate you can mount on an Olympic bar. Understand just how heavy it is before buying. That said, it is a great piece of gear. It really retains heat and works really well. Every time I put it in the oven I feel like I should really be wearing steel toe boots. Happy with the purchase and it is great for cooking pizza on.

I bought this directly from Vervor. I did not know it was, also, available on Amazon. I do not ofen give a 5 star review, but since this is truly a \"solid state item\", with no moving parts and nothing to break (basically) and it works as advertised. I am giving it a 5 star review. Even though the finger holes are not as I would like. This is really heavy (31lb's). This is a good thing, and a curse. The mass of the steel maintains a more even heat than my ceramic pizza stone. The bottom of the pizza is more evenly browned. I am giving it a 5 star rating even due to the fact the edges while not sharp, are not as smooth (rounded, ergonomic or comfortable) as I would have liked. I have taken a file to the edges, especially the finger holes, which are a nice touch (makes manipulating the steel in and out of the oven easier (not easy, but easier)). The holes are an instrumental feature that allows one to move the steel in/out of the oven with \"confidence\". Without these holes grabbing the steel and moving it would be \"perilous\" and a danger to the oven door and or floor - not to mention feet). I wanted to buy the ½\" version, and am glad I did not. The ⅜\" version is very heavy. While better holding heat, I cannot imagine trying to manipulate the ½\" model in and out of the oven. I have purchased from Vervor before (a water bath device to keep my chocolate at temperature for molding). They don't make truly professional products, but the products I have purchased from them are good. Not truly cheap. But acceptable. I would buy from Vervor, again, knowing I am getting a decent product at a decent price (so far). {The last image is supposed to show how un-soggy the pizza bottom is}

Holds heat well. Holes are very useful for moving the steel. Anle to get real browmimg on the bottom of the crust.

Bought this for a small convection oven to regulate temperature after opening the door. Does a great job of retaining heat. Stays warm long after I shut the oven down. Buying one (maybe more) for the home oven

This really makes professional pizzas the only issue the finger holes need to be deburred and could be a bit bigger. This does not effect baking. Crust of frozen and hand tossed come out crisp all the way to the center. This is the perfect size.

This is a must have for home pizza makers...

After extensive experimentation/hair-pulling/botched results, please consider sparing yourself the headache of stones and opting for steel. Regardless of your heat source: electric, propane, wood - steel is the way to go for consistent amazing results. Are there applications that use stone to great effect? Yes. But those are engineered that way. Most people don't have systems that benefit from that kind of engineering. If you want to work with your oven/grill/outdoor pizza cooker just get a steel and be done with it. PRO TIP: the thicker the better if you're going to be doing multiple pizzas as it carries the heat even better.

Well crafted. Heavyweights product. Performing as expected and would buy again. Makes our pizza at Foxgreen Farm even better.

This fits perfectly in our Breville Smart Oven Air. It creates a very nice even heat, perfect for baking projects and making excellent pizza with perfect crust! It's really hard to find a steel that fits a toaster oven, but this one is the perfect size.

used once so far and can say WOW!! what a difference over a pizza stone! follow instructions for pretreatment and your good to go. buy pizza crust from Gordon's food service, and ya end up with pizza as good as any store bought.
