Baking Steel, Original — 1/4" Thick Pizza Steel

THIS ITEM IS AVAILABLE FOR PICK UP ONLY

The Baking Steel® Original arrives pre-seasoned and ready to use, no homework required. A 1/4-inch-thick, 15-pound slab of solid carbon steel that turns your home oven into a high-heat pizza oven. Steel conducts heat 18x faster than ceramic, giving you blistered crusts, incredible oven spring, and a crisp bottom in under 7 minutes.

Seasoned by hand. In Massachusetts.

Fourteen years in, I'm still the one telling our cutters where the steel comes from. American mills, every time. It isn't something a customer can check, which is exactly why I've never handed it off.

Every Baking Steel is finished and seasoned by hand at my family's plant. Organic flax oil, worked across the surface and baked on in a commercial oven, one at a time. My brother Eric does it.

Flax is what we use because it polymerizes hard and clean. It's the same thing that's been used on cast iron for a hundred years, and it's the reason the surface only gets better with time.

That's why it shows up ready. Open the box, preheat it, make a pizza. Nothing to do first.

Hand seasoning means no two look exactly alike. You might see a swirl, or a patch darker than the rest. That's the oil. Cook on it and the whole surface deepens and evens out. A steel you've had ten years cooks better than one out of the box.

We do the work so you don't have to. That's the whole idea.

Perfect For:

• Home pizza makers who want pizzeria-quality crusts in 5–7 minutes
• Bread bakers looking for bakery-level oven spring without a Dutch oven
• Anyone upgrading from a cracked pizza stone or flimsy baking sheet
