Into the oven on top of the hot steel for a few minutes till just set up, Take out pan, brush top of crust with little olive oil if you wish and build the pizza with sauce, cheese, etc. Then I let the pizza and crust slide off the pizza pan onto the stone to bake. It doesn't stick because I pre-baked it and the pan is slick. When finished, I do use a metal peel to remove the finished pizza. This always works for me with no mess, no hot fingers and no big peel to store or cornmeal to sweep up. **Q: Can anyone scientifially prove that the .375" or 1/2" would be better than the .25"? I can't find a reason to buy the thicker ones.** A: It's been a while since this question was asked. There were some reviews and they documented the results and here they are (from a well-known site for Pizza junkies): Thickness Baking time 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) 6-8 minutes 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) 5-7 minutes 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) 4-6 minutes 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) 3-5 minutes Another way to look at it now is that a half inch steel can cook two pizzas back to back in about the time it takes a 3/16 in steel to cook one pizza. But we all know that the thinner steals require more time to heat up between pies. If you going to cook one or two pies back to back, it seems like the research and user feedback points to 1/4 inch at a minimum. **Q: Instructions say you can leave it in the oven full time and it will act as a heat sink. Should I leave this in my oven? I can barely lift it.....** A: I don't. Unless you need steel stone's capability, you are wasting energy two ways - to heat up a significant metal mass and then, when you are done, cooling it. The fan in my oven runs longer if I leave the stone in it. **Q: Can this also be used on a barbeque?** A: I thought it would work well on my gas grill but I had issues - maybe it was my grill. I was cooking multiple pizzas so I'd cook one pizza, take it off, cook another, etc. The first pizza was great. But as I went on the steel couldn't get back up to temperature fast enough and it took longer and longer to get the pizzas done. For my setup my oven works better. There was no problem with the steel on the grill - nothing physically went wrong and nothing was damaged. I just couldn't keep enough heat in the steel. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pizza heaven *by M***R on 22 August 2021* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NerdChef Steel *by S***D on 23 June 2021* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best pizzas *by V***P on 22 May 2019* ## Frequently Bought Together - NerdChef Steel Stone - High Performance Pizza Baking | Made in USA (14.5" x 16") - (.375" Thick - Pro) - New Star Foodservice 50295 Restaurant-Grade Wooden Pizza Peel, 16" L x 14" W Plate, with 10" L Wooden Handle, 24" Overall Length - King Arthur 00 Pizza Flour: Premium Non-GMO American Wheat for Perfect Neapolitan-Style Crust - Finely Milled for Authentic Italian Pizza at Home - Ideal for Crispy, Chewy Pizzas (3 lbs) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/114440236-nerdchef-steel-stone-high-performance-baking-surface-for-pizza-375](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/114440236-nerdchef-steel-stone-high-performance-baking-surface-for-pizza-375) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
