Baking Steel ® Reviews

I love my baking steel. I purchased one for my parents over a year ago, as they have a wood fired oven and I figured this would be an awesome alternative if they weren’t looking for such a hassle. They were obsessed, and I ordered one for myself, and ended up using it to throw a surprise birthday party! We had pizzas coming in and out of the oven every 6 minutes (which I imagined there’s no way it could be consistent and accurate… it IS). It was a huge hit and everyone there was either ready to ...

I absolutely love good pizzeria pizza and have always made my own, but have never owned a pizza steel or peel. So when I saw this on a cooking show I thought…”I really want to become a pizza PRO and this looks like the way.” Bought the pizza steel, bought a pizza peel, and found an amazing pizza dough recipe that makes a great New York style pizza. Followed the recipe to a T, made the homemade sauce, preheated my pizza steel to 550 degrees for about an hour, put my pizza together and…..WHAM!!!...

This pizza steel has changed the way we spend our time together as a family! We love it! Making the dough, prepping the day for a family pizza night has been more fun than any of us ever imagined. The Baking Steel Pro cooks a pizza perfectly! I wish I would have bought one earlier. I also want to thank the Baking Steel team for all of the great recipes and videos. Keep the info coming! I will be looking forward to buying a second Baking Steel very soon. Pizza night has become VERY crowded at o...

My wife says I am a pizza making pro now. I use to use my cast iron skillets when making homemade pizzas and the results were ok,but enter my baking steel and my game has been leveled up. With the help of Andris’ videos my dough is on point and with the baking steel so is the crust. Having only used it once I have since been filled with a desire to explore all the other creations I want to make,pizza is just part of it next on my list are artisan breads and also homemade bagels. My only regret w...

My husband and I purchased the Baking Steel and love it! We have a wood fired oven in the yard which we LOVE but can’t use during our Canadian winters, so now we are really looking forward to having amazing ‘Pizza Friday’s’ with the family all year round! The crust baked exactly like the outdoor oven but in the house!!( I am looking forward to trying my sourdough bread on the steel as well.) The stone is very heavy so we actually leave it in the oven most of the time for convenience. We would...

I had a baking stone for many years and thought it was great, but then I found this Baking Steel and what a difference. I bought the flaxseed oil that you recommed and seasoned the stone per your instructions (wife said it smelled but I didn't think it was that bad). We have used it a couple times and there is no smell of the flaxseed oil while baking. The Baking Steel makes my pizza crust come out nice and crispy. I also tried turning on the broiler on for a couple of minutes, what a game chan...

Pizza has never been so much fun and tasty! I have used both 72 hr dough & thin crust, excellent. Watched Andris videos over and over to get it right, he has the knack for teaching. Love all of his videos and so easy to find them on the baking steel website. Thank you. I have used my baking steel for cookies, baking powder biscuits, re- heating pizza…can’t wait to try many more things, like bread. ( I’ve only had it 2 weeks!) I didn’t purchase the pizza peel at the same time I bought the b...

I LOVE the skinny griddle- I make pizza on one side and use the other side on my gas stove to make eggs, pancakes, naan, bacon, sausages, etc. The first few times a the pizza, I totally set off my smoke alarm due to the toppings falling off my dough when I went to slide the pizza off the peel onto the hot steel, but I’ve since learned to use way more cornmeal. This has really changed the pizza game in our home and since we got it three weeks ago, we have made pizza six times!! I’ve tried both th...

THIS IS IT! You have finally found the pizza maker for your homemade pizzas! I like pizza making at home. I've tried a number of different ways, even bought a Ooni pizza oven, what a failure. Heard about Baking Steel. Ordered it and couldn't be happier. Easy to use, great results, no need to buy wood and all the other expensive things associated with a pizza oven. This product is definitely a 10, don't waste your time on the others, just buy this! By the way, the pizza is fantastic! Ver...

Last spring, my pizza stone cracked in half. Terrible timing! I was really close to perfecting a homemade pizza that tasted as good as those purchased at wood-fired pizza oven restaurants. I went online to find a new stone and kept noticing these other things called "baking steels." WHAT?!? Steel?!? Unbreakable. I liked the sound of that! Did a ton of research (what size? how thick? pre-seasoned?), read reviews, etc. I kept seeing posts about The Original Baking Steel. Watched a few of Andris' ...

We made 6 pizzas & 8 calzones. It was a complete miracle that we stopped long enough to take this picture because we were eating them as they came out lol Despite having an excellent Viking oven, I couldn't get my pizza to come out like this without the steel. Though for some people it's an unnecessary expense, for my household it was a quality addition to my kitchen repertoire! Everything was made easier by putting the pizza on parchment paper and building it there. Then we transferred it to th...

This is now my third baking steel product!! Love them all. Let me tell you this griddle is a serious piece of steel and weighs a ton. I have a gas cooktop and it heats up quite quickly. On nights when we have the whole crew coming over it doubles as a second pizza steel in the oven. The griddle and the large steel allow us to cook 4 pizzas at once! I am so happy I found these products and we keep trying new recipes from the site as well. On Wednesday, Thursdays, and Fridays my garage refr...

I enjoyed reading about the Baking Steel, but never thought it would be useful for me. Then I got the notice of a price increase and hopped on board the pizza train. Words are not exciting enough to describe my homemade pizza. I use Whole Foods dough and the basic sauce recipe. I have added fresh mozzarella (dry it off), part skim mozzarella, pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage, fresh basil, grated parmesan. You cannot fail if you follow the instructions. I have impressed friends, but mostly mysel...

Wow! The Modernist Cuisine Special Edition Baking Steel makes all the difference in a perfect pizza crust! It bakes to perfection with plenty of room for two pizzas or just one very large pizza! Every pizza I’ve baked with the Steel has a perfectly and evenly cooked bottom and upper crust. Can’t wait to make a pizza on my new 16” Kamado and my new Baking Steel Plus. I purchased all three Baking Steels for different venues and I know I will be very happy after my first experience was such a hug...

I have had my baking steel since last November. I was so thrilled with pizzas I was taking off the "steel" that I had to get one for each of my kids. We ordered one for my daughter to be shipped to her in LA. While visiting her recently the baking steel arrived. We placed it in her oven and an hour and a half later the magic started to happen. One pie after another until all four were made, each one a total success. Great flavor, great bake, crust perfection. Just fantastic!! The customer servic...
