4-pc Roshco Pizza Stone Set $10 + Free In-Store Pickup (expired)

I bought a few of these last Nov/Dec and gave them as Christmas gifts. Everyone liked them because they're not just for home made pizza, but are great for Ubakes and frozen pizzas also. TU OP

I buy a good piece of stone home depot etc and it works just as good. Just make sure you wash it really good before you use it.

This item is currently unavailable for store pickup. Limited quantities may be available in your local Sears store.

FYI: These are usually $15 at Bed Bath and Beyond, and with a $5 coupon (off a $15 purchase), it's the same price. So if you cannot find one at Sears, may want to check out BB&B.

Question - for many frozen pizzas, or even fresh pizzas like the ones you'd get at costco or your grocery deli, the instructions say "cook directly on the rack". Well my wife bitches that when we do this (and Don't use a pan underneath), toppings fall off and make a mess in the oven.

Will using this stone be the equivalent of cooking direct on th rack?

Usually, yes. The problem is that to get to that "state" you need to warm the pizza stone with the oven when you turn the oven on. No big deal you think, UNLESS you are putting a frozen pizza on it - if it really does get to about 350 or 400 F and you toss a frozen hunk of pizza on it - it sometimes just cracks.

I have probably had 2 or 3 fall to this issue. So be careful!

nevermind

Results with the pizza stone will probably be better than directly on the rack. It takes at least 30 minutes to properly preheat a pizza stone.

I have had good luck with Pizza screens. They are fast and help cook the bottom properly:

Great deal, thanks! I've gotten the hang of making some pretty good home made pizzas, and I've been looking for a deal on a stone. The extra accessories are just a bonus

Thanks for the info... I was looking into something like this.

I'll wait for a square one. We had a round one and gave it away. Too easy to make a mess when you slide the pizza on the stone with a round one. A square one is more forgiving.

we have a teflon liner or something on the bottom of our oven and it is incredible. no matter what you drop or burn on it, it comes off practically by breathing on it. i've never seen something as non-stick as this material, and it slides right out of oven if you ever need to clean it more vigorously. unfortunately i don't have any more details on it. and i think it sits under the heating elements, so those are not protected (but they generally burn off).

This looks like the same one I got about 15 years ago. I know it was cheap and had that stupid wire rack thing. TRUST ME toss that wire in the trash and just grab the stone to get a pizza in/out of the oven.

If it is the same stone I have it's been great.

I might even buy a second one to have as a backup.

Also my old stone is well seasoned almost like a cast iron pan. It's almost black in the center.
