I am a chef with 10 yrs in the industry. This is something everyone should have, and the stones get better as they get seasoned with use. In reference to another review, have some common sence and dont put a hot stone on your counter top! These stones are a little thin, but if you take care of them, they will last a long time. Nice price on a good product.

These cooking stones are a little thin but work well for baking bread- I bake many loaves for our business every week. Take care to handle gently!

This pizza stone is one big disappointment. I previously had a Sassafras Pizza Stone(for nearly 20 years until it finally cracked)which was fantastic. It cooked the pizza perfectly and browned the crust evenly. This new pizza stone (purchased a few months ago and which is not made of the same material)leaves the crust soggy. Obviously, whatever materials it is made from does NOT conduct the heat properly or in the same way as the old pizza stone. I say this with the experience of making several pizzas on it. The only way I can get a browned crust is to remove slices from the stone after baking, and put them in a heated frying pan for 3-4 minutes.

Save yourself the money on wasted ingredients and a terrible dinner. It doesn't even deserve a one-star rating.

We made up a recipe of bread dough as soon as the Sassafras Baking Stone arrived and have used it multiple times. It works perfectly and has made our bread even better. Size is just right for the oven, it is light and easy to manuever and it is simple to keep clean. Worked great to bake a Papa Murphy's pizza as well when I was too lazy to cook. If you bake bread, this is a must.

Large piece of the stone broke off while in the oven during it's second use!

I got this item for Christmas and so far it's been great. I have even used it to make pizzas on our Weber gas grill. The crust is delicious, perfect combination of crusty and chewy.

Addendum: This cracked in half after 3 months of use, without any trauma to it. I would not recommend this item. I ended up going to Home Depot and bought 6 Santillo tiles for under $10 for the same effect.

Anything you cook in the oven should be placed on this stone. It is the best addition to any kitchen because it will make everything in the oven that much crispier and tastier. It takes alot of the unwanted moisture out of any bread and achieves a great crisp to it without burning. Every chef should have this in their oven.

It is so wonderful that I keep on buying them ......everybody in my family wants one! The pizza is wonderful every time. A must have!

this bread stone made some of the best bread and pizza I ever ate... for four hours... we cooled and washed and dried according to instructions and it broke with no scrubbing and just warm water in the sink. some present I give to my husband if it breaks right after he uses it twice. MAYN! this stinks. they better not all be like this. I'll try another right away. this can't be right.

I have used the baking stone approximately six times, and have been very pleased.
I know others have written about bad experiences, but I think if one reads the instructions which come with the product, there is less chance of a bad experience.
I would not hesitate to recommend this product.
