My new pizza steel allows me to make wood fired pizzas in my inside kitchen oven as well as in my outdoor wood fire pizza oven…. The steel, preheated, cooks the dough from the bottom so my crust is PERFECT! It also helps maintain a high heat in both ovens and cooks my pizzas more evenly…. My new pizza steel has brought my pizzas to the next level…. AMAZING…. Well worth the money invested. Michele J.—— very happy pizza steel owner

This one was baked halfway but I always find the Steel gives such an amazingly crispy undercarriage and evenly distributes the heat. The pizzas come out the way pizzas should - crispy and charred in all the right places.

We love our Baking Steel! It's the perfect size for the Anova Precision Oven but would be a great tool for use with any oven. Pizza crust comes out crispy and golden, breads come out perfectly cooked. We are absolutely delighted with this purchase.

This Baking Steel works wonders with pizza and bread. Although pricey, there is a good video series of recipes by the founder, Andris Lagsdin. It also fits perfectly in my Anova Precision Oven. I'm looking forward to using it time and time again.

Love the BS so far. Only have done pizza do far. My broiler is underneath my oven, transfered the first pie there, but soon realized I did not need to. I just cook then a little longer on the BS up above. 7-9 minutes make perfectly crispy bottom with nicely browned top.. Looking forward to more adventures with the Baking Steel...

This week was the first time making our own dough and today was the first time using the baking steel. I am shocked at how well the pizza turned out. Yes, you do have to plan ahead to let the dough do it's thing, but it was an enjoyable process from start to finish. I just can't believe the bubbles we got in our dough. I can definitely see making a bunch of dough balls and having a pizza making party.

Worth every penny! I used pizza stones for years only to get disappointing results. Forget about making multiple pizzas on a stone. It takes like 45 minutes for the stone to get back to temperature. Baking Steel only needs 8 minutes to get back to temperature. By the time I get the next pizza prepped, the Baking Steel is ready to go. It makes perfect pizza every time!

Hands down the best carbon steel. Easy to season, great and fun to cook with it. It can be used on any surface, gas, grill, and flatop. Given it's 3mm thickness, I don't see any induction burner warping it. I'm just a happy cook.

I have two griddles, so I got a sleeve for each. They fit nicely between the refrigerator and the cabinet, and it is easy to grab one by the handle, lift it up, and put it on the stove. Much easier than bending down and getting a grip on the griddle itself.

This was my first pizza using the steel and I was quite impressed with it. The fresh basil was overcooked and will no longer be added before cooking. I used the 72 hour pizza dough recipe and it was delicious. I will reiterate the caution that, when folding and shaping the dough, you do really have to be gentle or you won't get a smooth dough ball. The only negative is the weight but I knew that going in. I'm an 80 y.o. woman but can still manage to get it in and out of the oven when I have...

Very happy with this product. I used the Baking Steel dough recipe and the first batch came out great! This pizza was at 500 degrees in the bottom of a home oven and was crispy, chewy, and puffy.

In the short time I've had the baking steel I've hosted a pizza party where I was able to churn out a pizza per guest in about 4 minutes of cooking for white dough and 6 for wheat. While it was cooking I was adding the toppings to the next pizza. It's also been a great griddle, I've made chicken kebabs and smash burgers on it. Cleaning it is pretty easy, and I just leave it on the oven rack to store it. The only complaint I have is that it can be difficult to get my fingers under it to pick it ...

We LOVE our new Pizza Steel!!! It bakes the crust perfectly! I am also loving Andris's videos which are fun to watch and have helped me quite a lot! Thanks for making my journey into pizza making at home so enjoyable, delicious, and fun!!

The first two pizzas I fixed on the steel were made with store-bought dough and they were excellent. I made 72-hour dough for the next three and they were awesome. The Baking Steel simply makes all the difference. Couldn’t be happier with it!

Hi! Made pizza for the first time with the Steel and did it on my charcoal grill. It was GREAT. I did notice, and you will see it in the picture, the steel has an indent in the corner. I just notices it and while it doesn’t impact the performance it does take away from the overall appearance. Not sure what to do. The Steel is a great product. Larry Krasner

Wow! I've never had homemade pizza turn out this delicious before! I used The Perfect Loaf's sourdough pizza dough recipe with the Baking Steel on the top rack of the oven and a pizza stone on the middle rack. My oven temperature usually fluctuates a lot so that pizza takes too long to bake and doesn't brown evenly. The Baking Steel completely took care of that problem. I highly recommend Baking Steel for anyone trying to make pizza in a conventional home oven.

Fits 2 personal pizzas at the same time. Keeps my husband’s anchovy covered pizza nicely away from mine! I start the pizzas at 550° on the steel, then change the setting to broil, so the top can finish and catch up to the crispy crust. I cannot bring myself to buy pizza anymore. I have the magic.. thank you !

Audrey B.

I'm still experimenting ... I have questions too. Is it really necessary to leave the steel preheating for an hour? That's a lot of electricity being used. Isn't it hot along with oven temp being reached? Also, it's hotter on bottom shelf, isn't it? So far, I've made 3 pizzas on the steel ... improving crust each time. This is not yet a review. Its a work in progress. Thanks!

I was blown away! Never did I think a pizza like this would come out of my oven. But with my new Baking Steel, the results are AMAZING. The crust is just like out of a wood pizza oven. My husband was so impressed. Superb quality and it works! I highly recommend it.

The steel is a pizza tool that no kitchen should be without. My family and I all agree we will never buy another pizza. It was simply delicious. I am looking forward to trying all kinds of pizza varieties.

I can tell a difference in the temperature of my oven. It now heats closer to the desired (selected) temperature. I haven’t tried a pizza yet nor anything directly on the stone. I was hoping to be able to also use the stone as a griddle also as I didn’t have the money for the small griddle, but due to the weight I haven’t moved it to my cooktop. I have a griddle with my 6 burner cooktop, but I haven't been able to get it seasoned due to the size (oven is too small to fit it in). A 10 1/2” gridd...

We have used our Baking Steel at least a few times a week in the months we've had it. We previously had a pizza stone that broke and I'm glad it did - the Baking Steel cooks pizza so much better (and won't break). The crust comes out noticeably tastier. And we use the Baking Steel as much or more for cooking things besides pizza.

Baked off 30 baguettes, a dozen boules, batards, and rolls, before reviewing. This steel does a perfect job. It fits the Anova oven precisely. I was using an upturned baking sheet and parchment, and the bread bottoms were unable to brown properly. Using the steel fires off the bottom as well as the top and the breads are prizewinning. Oven spring, ear formation, color control all 100%. The steel surface has a space age pebbly texture with some sort of permanent release slickness, and bakes just ...

I LOVE 💕 the baking steel. In the past, the ANova Precision Oven baked breads were never as crusty as using the Dutch oven in a conventional oven. The baking steel fixed that. The tarts and pies brown evenly without the top being burnt and the bottom being soggy. The baking steel regulates the temperature of the APO, and it doesn’t drop as fast when I open the door to load the pans. The temperature stays even longer so the preheat temperature doesn’t have to be much higher than the baking tempe...

Love it when a product exceeds expectations! After I cracked my pizza stone, a friend recommended buying a steel. After bit of research and I found this awesome company! Family owned, MADE IN USA, MADE IN NEW ENGLAND, MADE IN MA! It does not get better than that. Supporting USA made and local is a huge consideration for me, and the fact that this is the best steel in the market makes this an absolute no brainer. I had been getting good at making pizza at home, the steel has made my pizzas great....

The Baking Steel has been a huge upgrade over the pizza stone I used to use. It cooks pizza that is perfectly crispy in under four minutes every time. I will be buying several more for family friends!

I've only made two pizzas so far - both with the 72 hour dough recipe - and they have been fantastic! I have a new found respect for the guys who can twirl the pizza dough, because getting that dough into the right size/shape is still a work in progress. But the baking steel has performed flawlessly and the crust is fantastic!

I wish I'd pulled the trigger years ago. For the home environment, the baking steel yields unparalleled results (and w/ a little trickery and confidence you can throw it on the grill too).

I love this! I started using it right away. It is very heavy, but once you put it on the stove, you keep it there. Makes perfect pancakes!!! You do need to heat it up first, so turn it on low while preparing food.

It’s hard to oversell how incredible the Baking Steel is at turning the average home oven into an apt replacement for a commercial pizza oven—pulling pies with a beautiful, crisp, brown bottom in just a few minutes’ time.

If you are a serious pizza or bread cook than you are going to elevate your skills to professional grade once you begin using out baking steel. I was always disappointed in my pizza stone never giving me the best results. As my hubbie always says, I’m incredibly picky about my food, it has to be the best or why bother at all!!! And of course, the same goes for baking bread. The Dutch oven is cumbersome and I was looking for a better way to get results. I was actually thinking steel when I stumbl...

So far, I have just made Russian Black Bread. It came out great (good height and texture). I also made some roti for a curry dinner. Easy to use. I will want to try pizza, english muffins, and bagels. I have successfully made bagels before but not with a steel. I usually use an outdoor wood oven for pizza.

Great pan! I own several carbon steel pans and this is the nicest by far. Stainless steel handle (oven safe), great weight, and quality finishing. I’ll purchase the 12 inch for sure and the 8 inch when they come out with it. Saw the review on Uncle Scott’s Kitchen YouTube channel and was very interested!

Worked as expected. Need to dial in my oven to get more leopard spotting. Put the oven rack too close to broiler so the top was cooking a bit too quickly. Still made a great Pizza. I'm looking forward to trying on my grill which can get up to 650 degrees. Excited to try some new toppings as well - tomorrow will be Gochujang Chicken and Onions.

I made the 72 hour pizza dough on the steel twice so far. It's the best pizza I every made. We used to use a pizza stone, but didn't get the same great results. The steel gets very hot and heats up pretty quickly when you make a second or third pizza at the same time. It is really heavy.

Awesome griddle! It lives on my stove now. Makes amazing pancakes and tortillas. I have a crappy electric coil stove but this griddle is so thick that once it's hot, it states hot and heats evenly. Worth every penny!

Pretty impressive. I’m an avid baker with a propane pizza oven. The difference is minimal. This is easy and versatile. Makes great bread and tortillas. Can’t believe I lived without one before this.

I used the broiler to preheat the stone and cook the pizza and they came out amazing! Also used it for bread and got great results. Both the steel and the peel are great.
