I bought a new pizza stone at Aldi yesterday for $9.99 so I did a cracker style thin and crispy. I got some good air pockets but man, that dough is hard to work with.

Wash the stone and use, it get's seasoned over time.
Stone instructions said 450 degrees, recipe called for 475, I like to go as hot as the oven will get. I did the 475 and should have went hot as hell.
Pizza onto the stone with a pizza peel or you can use a sheet pan in a pinch. I par baked the crust first, then topped ,so it was easy to slide [Reply]

I recommend cooking on parchment. You get the benefits of the stone without grease and other things building into the stone and zero chance of sticking. [Reply]

Mine was missing the rack and I had to take it back. Passed on the griddle but it did catch my eye. [Reply]

I went nuts and got the 1/2 inch thick one. Works great, but may be overkill over the 1/4 inch one. Plus, it is heavier than hell. Strains the oven racks a bit. But it kicks ass. [Reply]

What's it weigh, where do you store it and what did you get? [Reply]
