This 3/8-inch thick carbon steel pizza steel plate replaces a traditional stone for anyone who wants pizzeria-style crust at home. Made from Q235 cold-rolled carbon steel, it conducts heat up to 20 times faster than ceramic stones and holds nearly double the heat capacity, so the crust crisps quickly and stays hot even after it comes out of the oven. Measuring 20 x 14 x 3/8 inches and weighing 29.1 pounds, it arrives pre-seasoned and sandblasted smooth, so there's no seasoning step before the first bake - just wipe with a soft cloth and water to clean. A built-in thumb hole makes it easy to lift out of a hot oven and hang for storage between uses, and the laser-cut, polished edges keep handling safe. Built to handle both indoor ovens and outdoor grills, this heavy-duty carbon steel plate also works well for baking bread, cookies, roasted vegetables, and seared steaks.
