GoodCook Oven to Table Ceramic Stoneware Pizza Stone with Metal Rack, 14.75", White

should have lasted longer . cracked in half after using in oven. Now price more than double!

The people that had their stones break probably shocked them with sudden changes in temperature. I am a college student and I throw stuff on there everyday to warm stuff up perfectly every time without it sticking. Oh, you want biscuits? BAM. Oh, you want frozen pizza? BAM. Oh, you want fish sticks and toasted bread. WHAMO. Seriously, this is the easiest way to bake and I hate spending any extra second having to cook when I'm hungry. Food might slightly stick the first time you cook on it but this is normal and just scrape anything that stuck on there for a millisecond. After you cook on it a couple times the stone will turn darker and be lubed up so your food won't stick ever again. You don't get a pizza cutter with this unfortunately. The serving rack under the stone is genius. I'm pretty sure everyone who had their stone break didn't handle it properly because I cook on this thing everyday with no signs of cracking. Wash it? No, you don't have to... in fact it's probably better if you don't. I generally like to brush leftover crumbs off so they don't cook forever... sometimes I don't even do that though because I'm lazy. Your food will cook perfectly every time, it's ridiculous. Update: I have had this stone for months now and it still functions perfectly. I use the handles and serve pizzas directly on a table. People use knives on the pizza to cut it on top of the stone. No scratches or signs of breaking. I have used this stone countless times at this point. What a great deal! Update 7/24/2012: Still going strong, and I use this almost everyday to warm up frozen foods. I accidentally dropped one side of the stone a couple months ago about 5 inches above the table. It did not break. I have now used a pizza cutter and knives on this a couple dozen times with no issue. I love this thing and would recommend it to all my friends. To the person that said to spend more money on another stone... wouldn't it be awful if the more expensive stone broke? Try this one first because it works great for me. Update 10/14/2016: Best purchase I have ever made, I still use it all the time.

It occurred to me one day that, when I know I'm having pizza for dinner, I'm in a better mood during the day. It was a lovely little realization. After a few minutes of planning, I got on Amazon to buy pizza/happiness-making supplies. I only use an XL toaster oven because it's always hot where I live, and I'm only cooking for two people. Since toaster ovens don't hold heat very well, I decided to buy my first pizza stone; I want that biz crispy! The prices on most of the best selling pizza stones made my jaw drop, though. I mean, it's a hunk of stone, right? Why pay $40 when $15 does the job? Since this pizza stone had some great reviews, and the only complaint of stone cracking seemed avoidable with proper preheating and care, I figured I'd give it a whirl. Six months and 100+ pizzas later, and it's "seasoned", but no cracks in sight. Keep in mind, I'm giving this stone a workout. I usually bake 5 pizzas on Monday, then freeze 4 of them to eat throughout the week. Based on other reviews and comments, I'm probably being overly careful with my preheating, but I'd really rather not lose a pizza because my stone suddenly cracked. That would be the worst :( If you're side-eyeing those more expensive pizza stones, I can tell you from thorough experience that this $15 one makes some nicely crisped crusts. Just, you know, follow instructions; preheat it, and basically just scrape off the old pizza instead of washing it with soap like a metal pizza pan. Blessings to you and your pizzas!

The photo on Amazon shows a pizza stone with a rack and a pizza cutter. I didn't expect a pizza cutter, but in case you were wondering, one isn't included. This Good Cook pizza stone was a good buy. I bought it for making bread. It bakes up so nice and evenly, with a crisp crust. I love the stone. The rack is a great plus. I can put the stone in the oven with the rack. I can use the rack to take the stone out with the bread still on it and set the whole thing on the counter. It's so easy. To clean up, I just rinse in water. It all comes off without a problem. Never thought I'd need a pizza stone, but I'm glad I bought one.

First one we had for nine years and it cracked when I threw a frozen pizza on it. Second one we bought last year forgot my lesson and threw a frozen item on it and found the stone cracked in the oven last night. We will try again and order another.🤞🏻 We do love the bigger size for less mess in the bottom of the oven.

I knew something was wrong with this stone the first time I used it, but I gave it a chance anyway. I had a cheap pizza stone for 10 years that finally broke, so I had to get a new one. This looked like a reasonably priced replacement. The first time I used it, the whole apartment filled with a noxious odor and stung my eyes. I figured the stone just had to burn off some coating or something, so I reheated it a few times while nobody was here until the odor went away. It did an okay job on the pizza crust, but nowhere near my old one which was actually thinner. I noticed that I would wake up with a sore throat after I used the stone, but I didn't connect it until last night. I have to throw this thing away. It gives off something that is probably dangerous. I also developed a slight rash on my chest which I think might be related. Don't buy this.

After many years of faithful use, countless pizza, numerous breads and a failed filet or two my stone has alas, cracked beyond repair. It first cracked in half years ago but that just made it all the more convenient to carry to party's and such. The longer I used it the deeper the color got and it seemed the better it baked. Scores of pizzas crossed this stone and many a dinner had been a delight thanks to this product. As time went by I found myself outgrowing the space of this stone. Less and less use it got until a short while ago a clumsy baker placed it down just a tad too hard. It was too much for the old and stressed stone and yea she cleft in thrice! Woe was unto me as I walked in on my broken and shattered old friend. Now all that remains is to find a fitting farewell to the implement that started me down the path of baking enlightenment.

Worked great for about a year. Got a wonderful patina, cooked great pizza crusts and cookies. After about a year we found it cracked in the oven. I have used pizza stones for years, so I am always careful about temp shock. That wasn't the case here.

arrived quickly. A bit thinner than my old stone which shattered on the bbq. Have not tried this one on the BBQ yet.

It was a gift, but I’m told it makes great pizzas.

Deja perfecta la pizza, sobre todo la parte de abajo, claro que si se mete a tempreaturas altas es obvio que se rompera. Yo lo uso a 230°c y no ha pasado nada en las 10 veces que se ha metido al horno. Lo recomiendo para principiantes como yo.

Se rompio facio

The stone cooked the pizza well but it stuck hard and was difficult to get off the stone (may have been our dough) These stones are fragile. The first one arrived broken in two but was immediately replaced so good on the seller. Measure your oven as I can barely close my oven door with this stone and did not consider that when making the purchase
