Unicook Rectangular Pizza Stone, 38 x 30.5 cm, Cordierite Baking Stone

Excellent oven stone. Perfect for baking bread, sourdough and pizza. Great heat retention. Don’t forget to dust it with flour or semolina before placing your raw dough on to it, as it will stick! Then it’s difficult to remove the burnt on residue.

Greate quality and good value for money.

I purchased this stone primarily for baking bread. It is a very useful size (exactly as described) being a perfect fit for the shelf in a popular size of conventional domestic oven, allowing just enough space for air circulation on all four sides. Having read some customer comments about strong odours, I decided to give it a trial heating before using it for baking, placing it on the centre shelf of my cold electric fan oven and then switching on and allowing it to come up to 240°C. There was no odour other than the usual "hot" oven aroma, so I can only assume that this issue only affects occasional batches in manufacture. The supplier does include a note advising customers to contact them if they have this problem, which is fair play. The stone is of a good heavy weight and is ideal for the purpose I bought it for - giving good oven-spring to a loaf of bread. The stone was despatched in very sturdy packaging ensuring that it arrived undamaged. My only reservation is that the product has the manufacturer's name/logo embossed deeply right in the centre of one surface, presumably intended to be the underside. This means that the stone cannot effectively be reversed and used both ways up, which is a shame, as these do eventually develop discolouration through repeated use and the ability to use both surfaces would be useful.

This stone seriously upgraded my homemade pizza nights. Preheated it for about 40 minutes and the base came out perfectly crisp — way better than a tray. Works great for flatbreads and reheating pastries too. You can feel the difference the cordierite makes — holds heat really evenly, no burnt spots or soggy centres. It’s heavy but manageable, and once seasoned properly, it wipes clean without fuss. Just don’t use soap or soak it — brush it down like cast iron. If you’re into making proper pizza or baking bread at home, this is a smart investment.

MANY THANKS

This is the second one of these stones I have purchased. They are great for pizza, as designed, but they are also great for sourdough bread. I pre-heat my oven for an hour with the stone in place, at 270c. Then I turn the oven down and bake my bread at about 250c. The stone is great for retaining heat and ensures I always get a well baked bottom on my loaves. If I am baking for friends and family, I can sometimes bake up to 10 loaves back to back. Again, the stone makes this easy to do thanks to the heat retention. This particular stone allows for multiple loaves at a time thanks to it's size. Very happy with my purchase.

A beautiful stone ... but it does stain easily. I leave it in my oven always to keep food warm longer! Great for pizzas and any bread. No soggy bottoms!

This stone is great. Heats up well in my kitchen oven and can get a quick cook in around 4-6 minutes with this stone. I preheat for 30-60 mins then a further 30 with the broiler and the pizza base is crispy every time. Glad I ordered it. Good size too.

Ich hab den Stein zum Brot backen gekauft. Hab lange hin und her überlegt, welche Größe wohl auf meinen Rost passt. Leider ist mein Backofen nicht sehr groß, da ist diese Größe gerade richtig. Es ist auch schon ganz schön schwer. Ich habe noch einen runden Pizzastein, der ist deutlich leichter. Also genau was ich gesucht hab.

I recently acquired the Unicook Heavy Duty Cordierite Pizza Stone, and it has transformed my home pizza-making experience in ways I never thought possible. This baking stone is a game-changer, delivering professional-level results with every homemade pizza and bread I create. The first thing that sets the Unicook pizza stone apart is its construction. Made from heavy-duty cordierite, this stone boasts impressive durability and can withstand high temperatures without cracking. It heats up evenly, ensuring that every inch of my pizza or bread receives the perfect amount of heat for a consistent and delicious result. The size of the stone is generous, providing ample space for a large pizza or multiple loaves of bread. Its thickness contributes to heat retention, allowing for that coveted crispy crust that is a hallmark of well-made pizzas. The versatility of this stone has expanded my baking possibilities beyond just pizza, making it a must-have for any avid home baker. What I appreciate most is the even heat distribution across the entire surface. This ensures that my pizzas cook uniformly, with no hot spots or uneven browning. The result is a restaurant-quality pizza with a golden-brown crust that has the ideal balance of crispiness and chewiness. The porous nature of the cordierite material also helps absorb moisture, making for a delightfully airy and light interior for my bread. Whether I'm baking a rustic loaf or a batch of dinner rolls, the Unicook pizza stone consistently delivers exceptional texture and flavor. Another standout feature is the versatility of the stone. It's not just limited to the oven – I've successfully used it on my grill for a unique smoky flavor in my pizzas. The stone's ability to handle high temperatures makes it a versatile tool for various cooking methods. Cleaning is a breeze thanks to the non-stick surface, and any residual bits can be easily scraped off once the stone has cooled. The included scraper is a thoughtful addition, making maintenance simple and efficient. In conclusion, the Unicook Heavy Duty Cordierite Pizza Stone has exceeded my expectations in every way. Its robust construction, even heat distribution, and versatility make it an indispensable tool for anyone passionate about making exceptional pizzas and bread at home. If you're looking to elevate your homemade pizza game, this pizza stone is an investment well worth making. Say goodbye to mediocre crusts and hello to pizzeria-quality perfection!

After using this brand stone since the Summer of 2024 I wanted to circle back and leave a review. I have no affiliation with this company. I'm just a dude who loves to cook pizza. My addiction started off when I ordered the 15" round pizza stone for my Weber grill. I use the KettlePizza Basic kit for my setup. This grill is dedicated to pizzas. We use oak wood when we cook pizzas this method. The thermometer on my setup goes to 700 degrees and the needle is usually stuck as high as it can go so it probably hits well over 700 degrees. I live in NJ and leave the stone outside year round, we haven't fired the stone up in the winter as we have indoor stones for our oven. Cracked stones are probably user error/thermal shock. Warm the stone up with your oven to avoid that. The stone staining is 100% normal. Never clean your stone with soap. All you need to do is scrape off any excess. Maybe just run the oven without anything on the stone and char/burn it off. I don't even use water. Since then I have purchased 4 additional 15x12 stones from this company for our indoor oven. My wife and I have a stone of our own we use with dairy cheeses. My son was recently diagnosed with EoE so he can't intake any kind of dairy so we use Amazon basic plant based cheese for his pizzas, so he 100% needs his own stone to avoid cross contamination. My parents and my brother were both gifted pizza stones from this company (by no other than me) and they've had no issues. To sum this up me and my family have purchased 5 stones from this company with 0 issues. None of our stones smelled like chemicals. None of our stones have cracked and I abuse the heck out of them heat wise.

Ottima pietra pizza fantastica comunque io x comodità metto l'impasto sulla carta forno nel caso fuoriesca qualche sostanza La consiglio

Je m’en suis servi pour la première fois pour faire deux pizza Franchement aucune odeur ou fumée comme j’ai pu le lire ! J’ai mis le four en mode grill a 270° avec la Pierre a pizza dedans pendant 30 min puis je suis repassé en chaleur tournante a 250° et j’ai enfourner ma pizza! 10 min apres la pate était parfaitement cuite en dessous !!! Au top rien à voir avec mon ancienne plaque à pizza tefal!!!
