Cool Kitchen Gadgetry: Pizza Stone

I usually don't go to sales parties, but a friend that I don't see that often was having a Pampered Chef party, so I went. I wasn't intending to buy anything, but I walked away with a pizza stone. I felt like I had fallen for the peer pressure and I regreted it immediately since the stone was $25.

...that was until used it. I LOVE THE STONE. Pizza's are always crispy. It is great for baking anything that you want to be crispy: fish sticks, pizza rolls, egg rolls. I even use it for baking bread.

Like the clay pot cooker, it develops a patina that makes it more and more stick free. You can see the patina forming on mine. Unlike the clay pot cooker, however, this stone can be put right in a hot oven.

I just use a plastic scraper or a paper towel to clean it off. Easy.

  1. Those are great I was actually going to get one last Sunday when I went to a Pampered Chef party myself, however reason took hold since I have not worked since last Sept.

  2. CrazyGramma, I was unemployed when I purchased mine!! So funny.

    They do have them at Target for about half the price, but I think the Pampered Chef ones are more heavy duty.
