Baking Steel ® Reviews

We are traveling chefs and own a catering company providing service across three states. We started looking for alternatives to pizza stones because they don't transport well and constantly break. I decided to give steel a try and sought the best rated, thickest I could find. I found BakingSteel by chance as a side note in a YouTube video and gave it a try. I can say that after my first pizzas left the oven I was sold. Far better that stones at even, crispy crusts, both New York & Neapolitan...

I had been using a regular clay baking stone for probably three years and I was continually disappointed with the end results of my pizzas. The crust never came out crispy or darkened no matter how long I preheated the stone or how close I put it to the oven. A few months back I purchased a portable pizza oven but found that it was a very difficult and confining process when cooking pizzas. After watching some videos on YT about how to make NY style pizzas at home I stumbled across one that high...

The baking steel is a game changer! I first became aware of this product through TikTok. My family is gluten-free and I came across the creator who added a twist on the traditional two ingredient “skinny“ pizza dough primarily made of yogurt, flour, baking powder, and salt. No, this type of dough made gluten-free is not the traditional crust most people like. It rolls out very thin and never quite gets brown on the bottom. Lots of flop. I had a baking stone which helped some. However, with the b...

We love the Baking Steel. We have two of the the original and the larger one. We use them on our grill and ovens. We sent them as gifts to friends who have enjoyed our Pizza parties.The attached photo is our fist Pesto Pizza from our home grown Italian Basil last Friday. We love your educational Zoom classes with Andries ( can’t spell his name). From clam pizzas to traditional cheese plus homemade sauces, it’s always a fun Pizza evening . Thank you again for the quality products. Joe & Eleanore ...

Been making pizza for several years and have had great results on cast iron and on stone. I had been on the fence about getting this but saw that it was recommended by Kenji and gave it a shot as it was less than 50/50 I'd get a solid base of the pizza where the slices wouldn't droop under pressure. First attempt with this steel and pizza was solid. Not my best, but the dough was a few days old and I was lacking ingredients..but this still came out really nice. Bottom was crisp. I preheated...

First pizza using the Baking Steel: Caramelized onions, prosciutto, fontana, and cherry tomatoes with fresh basil. Turned out professional. Yum!! I followed oven instructions precisely using the final broiler blast and the Puffy Pizza crust was perfect. I think I can finally cross "making a perfect pizza" off my bucket list. Don't waste your money on pricy pizza stones or an expensive pizza oven (which I was about to do)...the Baking Steel will make you a pizza queen. P.S. FYI....the Baking St...

First off, I heard about the Baking Steel from a customer, he just raved about it. After much consternation about which one I should purchase (I literally made life-size measured cutouts of every single Steel and Griddle to figure out which one would work best in my grilling/baking environments - it was very helpful, and I highly recommend doing so!) ;-D The Baking Steel Griddle was the winner, and while the first one arrived slightly damaged, Craig sent out another one lickety split and then...

Attached you will see my creation using my steel. I am a pizza lover. I was tired of traveling 20-minutes out of my way to pickup my favorite pizza. So I decided with extreme prejudice to try hand at making it myself. I started out using a pizza stone with extreme disappointing results until it cracked down the middle. When I learn about the benefits and wonders using steel I began researching. The Baking Steel was the only one backing the steel product. The website resources are my lifeli...

The reason I purchased the original steel is because it is made in the USA. There are cheaper steels but my experience with lower quality offshore products made me to stay home for my purchase. I purchased my steel after watching your videos.My wife is on a gluten free diet, your recipe for the gluten free pizza puts the commercially available pizza’s to shame. The steel makes the gluten free crust cook just right and doesn’t have the soggy texture you receive from pizza shop gluten-free pies. M...

Warning - I am Gluten Free. That annoys some people, me most of all I promise you. What's most annoying? No decent PIZZA! Well after many years of suffering a friend turned me onto No Gluten No Problem and that book made it absolutely clear that the is no decent home made pizza without a baking steel. So off to the internet and research. Made in USA of course. At least 14 inches, check. 1/4 inches thick. Check. Then I wait. It's a little expensive. Thinking. More waiting ( a week or ...
