Overview
Not a baking sheet, this is a square cordierite ceramic stone that holds oven heat for brick-style crusts. A brushed stainless steel rack carries the stone, so it can go straight from the oven or grill to the table.
Crisp crusts on pizza and bread are the reason to buy, and the stone works on a grill as well as in an oven. The limit is care: soap is off the table, sudden temperature changes can cause thermal shock, and the surface will stain over time though cooking is unaffected.
Who it's for
A kitchen with a full-size oven where pizza and loaves get baked often suits the stone, as does a grill setup. Cooks who dislike hand cleaning or who need a round shape should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Safe in oven and on grill
- Cordierite ceramic holds heat
- Stainless rack for serving
- Frozen pizza goes straight on
- Hand wash only, no soap
- Stains and darkens with use
- Must cool before contact with water
- Needs a preheat before baking
Performance notes
The cordierite ceramic stone stores heat during preheating and releases it into the dough, which dries the base and gives a crisp crust. The listing advises preheating the stone, alone or on its rack, for a set time at a moderate oven setting, and dusting with cornmeal under homemade dough to prevent sticking. Frozen pizzas can go straight onto the hot stone.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Nordic Ware stone go on a grill?
Yes. The listing says it is safe for grills and ovens up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
How do I clean the Nordic Ware baking stone?
Wipe it with a damp cloth before first use. After baking, let it cool to room temperature, then rinse with water, scrub with a brush and let it air dry. Soap is avoided because the stone absorbs it and can leave a soapy aftertaste.
Do the dark spots on the stone hurt cooking?
No. The listing says the stone darkens and develops spots over time, that this is cosmetic, and that it does not change the cooking properties.
