This piece had several problems. It cracked easily during normal use due to thermal shock. The cheese and sauce burned on and is difficult to remove. I have a normal size oven and this is a bit too small in width. The pizza cutter is also junky. It would be better to buy a better one separately.

I replaced this stone with a set of unfinished clay tiles from the hardware store (one whole one and one cracked in half that do a much better job of crisping the pizza because they hold more heat and yet they haven't cracked under heavier usage.

Received as ordered. I bought the stone for baking cookies. Makes wonderful, evenly baked cookies provided that you follow the directions given in the instructions.
My only complaint about stones in general is that they are quit awkward to handle.

The size is perfect for creating breads and pizzas. It is heavy but not too much to handle. Rack makes it so easy to handle hot with out touching the stone. Cleans in a jiff. Cutter is sharp and rugged.

I own two round pizza stones which are used more for baking cookies than pizzas and this rectangular stone works great because we can fit a dozen ccokies on it that always turn out perfect.

I bought this for my fiance who loves to make homemade pizza. He loves the fact that the stone is not round. Gives him more room to put his unique and original shaped pizza and not worrying about the pizza being so close to the edge. I will definately look for more great sassafras items to add to our baking collection.

I bought this to use with the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes book.

The first time we make one loaf of bread and some bagels. No problems.

The second time we made two batches of bread and cooked them all over the course of three hours or so. When we turned off the stove and let everything cool to room temperature with the door closed. When we opened the door several hours later, the stone was cracked into two irregular pieces. It's is still usable, but not practical to store or move into and out of a stove easily.

We will be looking for a better stone.

I love the baking stone. It really does exactly what it says it will do.

This baking stone is so great but it stained after the first use. I didn't melt the cheese on it and followed the direction carefully but it still stained. It's like a piece of a ceremic tile. Nothing too fancy here.

I bake frozen pizza and reheat store-bought pre-baked baguettes on this stone, not only does it not crisp the bread/crust up better than a "naked" oven rack, it actually makes it stay soft! I must be doing something wrong, although I follow the instructions. I preheat the stone before I put the pizza or bread on as instructed. I don't wash it much so it will keep its oil as instructed. I definitely don't use soap. Everytime I used the stone, I end up getting soft crust! I have to then move the super hot, heavy stone out of the way so I can rebake the pizza/bread on a naked oven rack to crisp it up. I keep trying over and over because everyone loves pizza stones so much, but I think I'm going to give up and throw it out. What am I doing wrong?!!

this item was packaged by? I don't see how it could have made it to me
much less to the dilevery person in in all the peices I got it in.
there was one air bag folded over it inside, was sand by the time I receved.
sence it was cheep & not wanting to waste hours of my time I neglected
to return it. but it was a good lesson learned! if you want sand go to the beach.
