Pizza stone

[img]

So im making calzone tonight and popped it in the oven on my pizza stone from pampered chef.

After 2 minutes I hear a loud bang and find the stone has shattered. Can someone recommend a new one? I take it these done like getting hot.

you didnt shove it cold into a preheated oven? its suposed to be in the oven when you turn it on and left to cool down slowly inside the oven as quick temprature change can break them

I used to have one of those, they are utter cack IMO.

I got one of these in the end: Granite stone

Takes longer to heat up, but will simply never break and holds more heat, meaning a better pizza base (and bread).

Something no one in this house does

In they go with the pizza on, out they go. Never had any problems We have 2 mind you

Same here- build the pizza on the stone and cook in the oven

The whole point is the stone should be scalding hot, something it isn't if you are building the pizza on it!

Try using a flat baking sheet which is dusted with semolina / flour as a peel and slide your pizza onto the stone in the oven.

This. It's fairly pointless using one otherwise.

i preheat the stone for a good 30mins, let it get nice and hot, it works well and hasnt cracked yet.

I just use a few of these in the oven:-

Paving slab

Been fine for about 3 years.

Just give them a real good scrub/clean when you get them.
