⚡ At a Glance
- • Heat Retention: Stores and distributes heat evenly for uniform browning and crisp bases
- • Best for: Home cooks with small ovens or grills seeking crisp, bakery-style bases
- • Not ideal for: Cooking large, family-size pizzas owing to the 26cm diameter
Made from natural cordierite, sintered at high temperatures for strength and thermal shock resistance. The 26cm stone absorbs moisture and spreads heat for crisp, evenly browned bases.
Crisp, evenly browned crusts – thanks to cordierite heat retention
Cordierite is sintered at around 1150°C which produces a dense stone that holds and radiates heat evenly across its surface. High thermal mass reduces cold spots during baking, promoting consistent browning.
Even heat distribution gives reliably crisp bottoms on pizzas and breads, so less guesswork over oven hotspots. Home ovens and barbecues reach baking temperatures more effectively with the stone in place.
Less soggy bases – with micro-pores that absorb excess moisture
The stone's surface contains invisible micro-pores that draw moisture away from dough during baking, preventing steam from softening the crust. The porous structure also helps produce a drier, crisper texture.
Pizzas and breads turn out with a firmer base rather than a soggy centre, particularly useful for wetter doughs or topped frozen pizza. Results feel closer to a wood-fired bake without needing specialist equipment.
Works in oven and barbecue – thanks to high temperature resistance
Sintered cordierite tolerates very high temperatures, with the stone rated to withstand up to 787°C (1,450°F). The material also resists thermal shock, allowing use on hot grills and in standard ovens.
Use on a barbecue grill for crisp results outdoors or in a small countertop oven for personal pizzas. The stone’s durability means frequent use on heat sources is practical.
