Emile Henry14" Large Pizza Stone | Charcoal

There are so many choices in pizza stones, and I just recently started making my own pizzas, using the breadmaker approach. I picked this one mainly because I thought the glazed surface might not stain as easily and clean up easier than a porous type stone.That turned out to be true. Holds the heat well, and browns the bottom of the pizza perfectly without burning it anywhere else. I preheat to 500, 20 to 30 minutes ahead, and it takes about 8 or 9 minutes to perfect pizza in my gas home oven.For a French product making an Italian cuisine in a Yankee kitchen, it does great! Love multiculturalism...esp in food.

I have his flat large stone and love it, so I purchased this one, best pizza crust ever on this. Love it

This is a really nice pizza stone. It cleans up really nice, nothing seems to stick to it. I suggest that after you use this stone in the oven and remove your pizza, turn off the oven and keep the oven door closed so that the stone can cool down gradually. This will insure that the stone will not break due to a quick change in temperature. I just leave the stone in my oven overnight and then wash it the next day. Super easy.

I love this pizza stone; it cooks perfectly. I have used it weekly for a few years and recently decided to try it on the grill after going to their website, where they state it can be used on a grill. It cracked in half on first use. There is no way to contact the company. They do not take phone calls, and the warranty form on the website requires you to upload a picture with a max allowable file size of 0MB. So, they require a picture and prevent the upload of a picture at the same time. I have emailed them directly twice with no response. This pizza stone is so nice that I will likely buy another; if you are thinking about purchasing, just know that after the Amazon return window closes, if you break it, you bought it!

I love all of the Emile Henri products — all clean up perfectly, easily, no need for non-stick cook pots here. The pizza stone is fabulous, makes fantastic pizza crust.

First one broke after a couple uses at 475 degrees, the temp the manual says to use, even though the description of the stone says for use with BBQ and to withstand temps to 900 degrees. The stone was replaced no problem and at no cost to me. The second stone has not broke and I'm still using it in the oven at 475. One good thing about the stone it does make a very crispy crust in about 8-9 min. The reason for the one star, it was easy to clean the first few times but gradually became stained in one small area and has now taken over the entire stone. Can't clean it off even using manufactures suggested cleaning.The stone now has a black sticky film all over it like gooey grease. The stains have leached through to the bottom side, it's not glazed on the bottom, and the stone smokes profusely when heated for hours before I can cook on it. I have stopped using it because after impossibly trying to clean it, after it has been dried, the black sticky film on the stone starts to flake off and is on the bottom of the pizza, who wants to eat that? I've read all the other reviews and no one has complained about this. Is it a fluke? Don't think so .And I'm not improperly using it, I've been making pizza for years on other stones, but never had a glazed one before.To bad, it does make a better crust though, about all it's got going for it, and the nice red color.

This made the best homemade pizza. The crust was amazing. The pizza stone is very durable.

Overall I expecting more from this product. Have only used it twice so far and found it very difficult to clean and keep clean. Not super happy with this product.
