Let's say your kitchen doesn't have a wood burning brick oven in it, yet you love the texture of the crust from a real pizzeria. Don't despair! This stone will produce an amazingly "genuine" crust right in your own oven.

Summary: A long wait for a broken product
Comment: I ordered this baking stone & waited weeks for its delivery. When it arrived, it was broken in many pieces. The packaging was not suitable for such a breakable (obviously) product since the stone was suspended from a cardboard frame with not central padding at all. In addition, although the inner package said this was a fragile product, the outer box with the Amazon label was not so labeled. It would be better to buy this in a store.

Summary: Amazon - Please mark it "FRAGILE"
Comment: I ordered this as a treat for myself. Because of the snow, it took a week and a half to get here. I was pretty excited when it finally arrived. When I opened the box, it was broken. It was clearly marked on the product box as "fragile" - but not on the shipping box. Who knows what the shipper did with the box during transit. I was pretty disappointed. I asked for a refund and going to go purchase one at a local store.

Summary: Excellent, heavy baking stone
Comment: I've had this stone for roughly 1.5 years now and it's held up to a lot of use. It's quite large ... nearly fills an oven rack ... so making large loaves or large pizza crusts are easy. Being very thick and heavy, the stone cooks evenly. Do note that the stone is quite heavy ... roughly 11 lbs ... but the little "feet" on the bottom make it easier to hold onto and move around (when cold, of course.) I'm quite pleased with this stone (even more pleased that the price was $10 less when I bought it compared to the $40 listed in 12/2008!

Summary: Square baking stone
Comment: An excellent baking stone and it needed no break-in. Large size and heavyweight. Worth the money.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It arrived broken
Comment: Yes, I also ignored the warning of the other reviewers who wrote in to complain that their stone arrived broken.
My stone also arrived broken!!! :-(
I'm not sure who I am more annoyed with. Myself or Amazon.
I spoke with an Amazon Rep who assured me that the damage issue has been resolved and that they were
packing these items more carefully to avoid damage.
Sorry, but any High School physics student could look at the packing and tell you that it is woefully inadequate for the weight and fragility of this item.
If this is their idea of an improvement, I can't even imagine how poorly packed it was before.
The item is packed in a box that only supports the outside edges of the stone and provides virtually NO SUPPORT underneath or above the stone to keep it from shifting inside the box. Thus, it breaks...
They do a miserable job of packing this item for shipping. Maybe their next idea of improvement will be
to put small rocks in the box.
Amazon is going to have to do some serious groveling to resolve this issue for me.
My recommendation, do not buy this stone. It is very fragile and Amazon does an atrocious job of
protecting the item for shipping.
