2.0 out of 5 stars Broke almost immediately, October 7, 2008

I really liked this pizza stone the first two times I used it and felt it enhanced the crust of pizzas we make at home. However, it cracked during my third use. It actually cracked while my pizza was baking on it in the oven--not because I dropped it or abused it. The manufacturer apparently guarantees satisfaction. We shall see what that means!

This review is from: Progressive International 15 Inch Diameter Pizza Stone (Kitchen)

I bought this stone because I needed a bigger stone than the standard one I already had which is made of clay. This stone was 15 inches which just fit in my oven. My old clay stone is smaller and I had trouble with my pizza dough hanging over the edge when I transferred it from the peel to the stone in the oven. The Progressive Pizza Stone was the right size that I wanted so I thought I would give it a try.

As usual with my orders from Amazon, the product arrived quickly and in one piece.

I am somewhat disappointed with this stone. While it does the job, the pizza dough sticks badly to the ceramic surface of the stone. I tried seasoning the stone with a little oil, but the ceramic surface is a lot more porous than the clay used in the other stone I have. So, the oil didn't seem to make much difference. I had a terrible time getting the pizza off the stone - even using a spatula to try to dig it off did not work and the pizza was pretty torn up. A better plan would have been to put corn meal on the stone before putting the dough on top.

The bottom line is that a ceramic stone allows the pizza dough to stick to the surface as it cooks. you have to make sure you have lots of corn meal on the stone before you slide the dough on. In the future, I would stick with clay and forgo ceramic.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cracked during first use :-(, January 7, 2009

This review is from: Progressive International 15 Inch Diameter Pizza Stone (Kitchen)

I was given this Pizza Stone as a gift and was very excited to use it.
It broke within 2 hours.
Admittedly I did use it on my Electric Oven's Highest Baking temp, 550 degrees (says to cook up to 450) and it cracked while I was cooking my third pizza!! Everyone knows that the higher temperature the better for cooking pizza...you would think that this would be tested up to a standard oven's highest temperature... Buyer Beware
