12 Inch Round Pizza Stone

Box is full of green foam peanuts surrounding 12 inch diameter pizza stone. Stone is twice as thick as 9" stone I purchased on Amazon from another company. This stone is 0.500 thick.Now for good stuff.Pizza stone is not in its own inner box, its not surrounded by shrink wrap only green peanuts and lots of them, No bubble wrap only green foam peanuts, no instructions on first or continue use and no way to tell if this is a return stone resent by seller or having been previous used or as a store sample.And for all hype shown on listing No mention or links to documention of any claims by seller of stone being made in US, no certifications or links to stories, government or private tests except those claims shown on Amazon purchase page and nothing about 100% Guarantee.My use is in a Cuisinart toaster oven for Organic White Whole wheat flat bread. Diameter fits perfect and stone did its job on first 10 flat breads.I did wet it down, no soap using my hand prior to and letting stone dry before starting convection bake.Expect to see on opening box a 12" Pizza Stone surrounded by foam green peanuts. It is what it is a Pizza Stone with no other information about it or where it came from surrounded by Green foam peanuts. It appears seller either forgot to insert a piece of paper repeating selling claims or where claims originated from. Or were claims about this pizza stone all just made up from hot air!

I got this not for pizza, but to regulate the temperature in my oven, and to sear steaks. It works well as an oven brick, and pretty good for searing steaks - it takes a while to get up to searing temp even right under the broiler, but this quality is what makes it a good brick. If you use it for steaks be aware your stone will get stained and ugly real quick, but it lives in the oven so who cares? But it has been heated to intesity repeatedly, had cold steaks put on while screaming hot and shows no signs of breakdown. This is good performance from a stone on the thin side. I have a tiny oven and those super thick ones take up too much room, so this has been great. Cold steaks on thin hot stone will eventually break it down, but the price is right. I will pkst again when/if it ever breaks - cold steaks on 500 degree stone is a good way to do that - but for now it is doing a great job. Mmmmm, steaks.....

Arrived as stated, no damage. The stone does not want to stick to the pizza, as clean up. To be honest, I don't notice a taste difference over just putting the pizza on the rack. But I bought it mostly for use on the grill so I'll need to use it more there. I did burn the crust my first time on the grill, but that was my fault for letting the pizza defrost while the gril got hot, and for having the grill at too high a temperature.

an excellent, thick stone ... I prefer to pre-heat such stones by running a 'pizza back' cycle first without the pizza ;)Then again with a pizza in place .. Excellent results.My criteria:5-star: does the job well, with extra advantages4-star: does the job well3-star: helpful but doesn't accommodate all needs that one would expect2-star: sketchy performance at best1-star: Fails in significant ways ; but they showed up for evaluation0-star: Where are they hiding???

This came right on time. It fits very nicely in my toaster oven. I went out and bought about five frozen pizzas from various vendors and proceeded to try them out. By the third one i had perfected using it. It is great. Now when supper time comes around instead of ordering out for ten to fifteen dollars I place a three to five dollar frozen pizza on the stone and in about twenty minutes my son and I are eating some very tasty pizza. If you have a toaster oven this is definitely the one to get due to its size.

This stone fits my toaster oven perfectly. It's the reason I bought it.Yummy crisp pizza from my baby oven in the summer.As with all stones it must be preheated, so if you're in a hurry don't bother.Very happy with this purchase.

Used on my gas grill to do Pizza. Works well

I am using this Pizza Stone as a heat deflector for my Vision M-Series Kamado grill. I fashioned two metal straps that hang on the fire bowl in an X shape. The stone sits on these straps flush with the top of the fire bowl. I am able to easily keep the temp at 225F for 10+ hours.
