Versatile for more than just pizza, the American Metalcraft PS1575 Round Cordierite Pizza Baking Stone can be used for pizza, bread, cookies, roasted vegetables and more. This baking stone is made of cordierite which is not only thermal shock resistant, but also is the perfect thickness of 7/8 inch and porosity for heat retention. Ideal for use where hearth baking is not possible, this pizza stone heats evenly with no hot spots to produce a crispy, uniform crust. It may also be used to keep pizzas warm in heated display cases or stored in your home oven to promote even heat distribution.
