Factory Seconds Cooking Steel for Ovens & Grills - 14" by 14" Pizza Steel (3/8" Deluxe Thickness) - Made in the USA

This is a great steel. I purchased the factory second because of the price, I can find nothing wrong with it. I actually purchased two of them. One is for me, I’m open baking bread and English muffins. The second one is for my brother, he will bake pizza in his.I seasoned both, very lightly, with a little bacon fat. I have kept mine in the oven for 3 weeks now, I could not be happier. Seems like it will last for a long time, it is very heavy. The crust on my bread could not be better.

Looks and feels brand new and certainly does the job. I bake large loafs of sourdough on this beast and they are perfectly browned, cooked thoroughly without worry and will be trying pizza this Memorial weekend. No hesitations on buying this, as a bonus that I can leave it in the oven. I had a pizza stone that cracked and cost more and you certainly can't crack this.

Listed as a seconds item, but mine arrived without a flaw! Very heavy, quality steel, used for open baking sourdough & I love it!

Switching from a pizza stone to this cooking steel has been a game-changer in my kitchen! Opting for a factory second was a smart move—there’s just a tiny blemish, but the savings are significant. Definitely worth every penny. I now leave the steel in my oven permanently, which has been a fantastic help with my electric stove's inconsistent heat, especially when roasting or baking. It evenly distributes the heat, making everything cook better.Seasoning the steel was straightforward, and it's crucial for ensuring your pizza doesn’t stick. Just follow the simple instructions provided, and you'll be all set. From my experience, the cooking steel is far superior to any pizza stone I’ve used before, and it’s become a staple in my culinary arsenal. Highly recommend for anyone looking to up their baking game!

10/10! If you are looking to up your homemade pizza game, look no further! This cooking steel will give your crust a well cooked and beautiful undercarriage. The size is great and fits PERFECTLY on the oven racks. Quite a bit of weight to it compared to a pizza stone but to be expected. Also compared to pizza stones, this thing is very durable and can take the high temperatures needed for making pizza, no having to worry about it cracking or breaking due to high heat. Very easy to clean, I can’t stress how amazing this product is if you make pizza at home a lot!

I have not found any marks or deformities that would justify this being labeled a 2nd. It's very heavy and holds the heat well. I think it is much better then a baking stone, it's also much easier to clean

The 'defects' are really very minor and are unnoticeable after a few uses. Does not effect usefulness at all. Helps to make my pizza SO crispy!

I decided to go with the steel rather than replace my broken stone. This one is thin and light enough for my wife to handle. I keep in in the oven all the time regardless of what I am doing. Bread and pizza go right on it. Bread in my Dutch oven's, too. It acts like the solid floor of a pizza oven. It's easy enough to take out to clean when necessary.
