Unicook Extra Large Pizza Stone 18 Inch, Square Baking Stone for Oven and Grill, Heavy Duty Bread Pizza Pan, Durable Thermal Shock Resistant Cooking Stone

A little larger than expected, but that’s on me! Caution to measure your oven. Still using and performs, but very heavy.

This is huge, and my oven door barely closed. (I MIGHT take a diamond saw and trim it.) It barely fit inside my outdoor propane grill. It does what it’s supposed to do: absorb moisture from the bottom of an uncooked pizza, allowing it to crisp up, something a metal pan won’t do. Isn’t messy like putting a pizza directly on an oven rack, which means none of that horrible burning cheese smell when cheese ends up on the bottom of the oven, smoking away. I wanted this size JUST IN CASE I bring home a bake-at-home Costco pizza. And it is effortless to clean, just brushed it off with a paper towel. If necessary, a damp sponge can be used BUT use NO DETERGENT! Hard plastic scrapper included in the nicely padded shipping box, where I will keep it when not being used. Use instructions included. It’s not light but nice a thick and sturdy. An in this rare size category, the price was good.

I measured my oven to ensure this one would fit. It is great to bake large pizzas. It warms up quickly and retains heat very well. I have baked over 10 pizzas in a couple of weeks. It is exactly what I needed to make NY style pizzas. My kids were getting tired of Neapolitan styles, and I didn’t want to go outside in the winter time.

Works beautifully

Advertising a product as 18” square leads the purchaser to assume it will indeed be 18” square. Even the box states it is 18” square. 17 5/8” is not 18”. This stone is missing nearly 1/2” of baking space on two sides. I’m sure it works great but out of the box this already feels wrong because of the dishonest description and packaging.
