The Emile Henry smooth Pizza Stone is a unique cooking tray made from refractory ceramic. It allows you to make delicious pizzas with a golden, crispy crust. Your pizza will be perfectly cooked, just like in a traditional pizza oven. The Ceramic coating enables it to prevent absorption of tastes and flavors meaning you can use it for fish, cookies, pizza, you name it. This also means it will not absorb soap when washing like other pizza stones may do. The smooth surface is ideal to knead and stretch the dough, as well as for garnishing the pizza. All that’s left to do is to place it in the oven to get a nice crispy crust. The large handles make the Pizza Stone easy to remove from the oven and serve on the table. Practical, it will keep your pizza hot right through the meal and you can cut your portions directly on the ceramic surface. The Emile Henry Grand Cru pizza stone measures 14.5” diameter. Heat maximum temperature of 290C and no preheating is required. Oven, barbecue, and microwave safe. Easy to clean, either wash by hand with soap or place in the dishwasher. Made in France. 10 year warranty.
