Conductive Cooking Universal XL Cooking Steel — 1/4" Deluxe (16" x 22")

Heavy-duty cooking steel: Precision-cut from a solid 1/4" low carbon steel plate, this cooking surface contains a higher iron content than cast iron. It ships as raw steel and must be seasoned before use; seasoning will continue to build with every bake. The steel will change color over time—be sure to dry it completely to prevent rust until the seasoning is well established. Exceptional heat performance: The ultra-conductive steel outperforms ceramic baking stones by holding more heat and transferring it faster, giving you crisp outer crusts without over-drying the interior. Use it in a standard oven to achieve brick-oven-quality pizzas, or for open sourdough baking and similar breads. Rapid cook times: Thanks to very high heat transfer and a proprietary cleaning and preparation method, preheat the steel at 500 degrees and you can bake a pizza in as little as 5-7 minutes. Built for durability: Each 16" x 22" plate is CNC laser cut from a single piece of metal for a robust, uniform finish and long-lasting conductivity. Low maintenance and user-friendly, it’s designed for everyday home use. Made in the USA. Versatile placement: The 16" x 22" size fits standard flat oven racks and most grill racks (gas or charcoal), so it doubles as a griddle and can even be used over a campfire.
