I've been looking for a pizza steel for a long time to replace the pizza stone I have that split down the middle one time I put a not completely thawed pizza on the stone. They are so expensive though especially if you want a "normal" 16x16 size. Typically $60 and up with shipping adding to it due to the weight. While in another pizza thread here on slickdeals a user pointed me to "factory seconds" which are 50% off the regular price due to "minor blemishes".
I took a chance and ordered one and I'm glad I did cause for $33 shipped I received one that only has some minor scratches on the underside which I'm pretty sure will fill in after a couple of coats of seasoning. (flax seed oil baked at 500F for an hour then cooled..repeat 5 more times..some people mention flax seed oil flaking so I researched it since that's what I've been using on my cast iron and from what I read that happens when you season the cookware at two low a temperature...typically 350F instead of 500F. I've had no issues but feel free to use the oil of your choice)
I've attached photo's of the actual pizza steel I received. Hope this is useful to someone! I found a coupon code through the capital one shopping app
which gives 25% off. This saves me $7.50 which just about covered the $9.99 shipping fee.
The coupon code was "AP25'. *update* If AP25 doesn't work SAVED15 will give you 15% off (Thanks @EtherGnat!) Other sizes like 14x20 and other thickness's are available. The $33 price is after the AP25 coupon. The steel itself is $30. Shipping is $9.99. This is for the 16x16x.25.
QA note: AP25 is expired, SAVED15 is expired, use SAVED10 for 10% off. Limited size variations are still available.

The thickness being more even might result in more even cooking then using the frying pan.
It's not non stick. It's plain steel that's been stripped down to bare metal (descaled) so you can season it. It WILL require seasoning like cast iron.
If you do not season them then yes they will rust same as cast iron. If rust does appear you can always remove it with some steel wool then reseason.

14x14x3/8" ( and 1/4") is still in stock.
If you missed it, keep an eye on the site as I'm sure they restock these fairly often.
