Emile Henry Flame Top 14.5ft Pizza Stone - Crisp, Durable Crusts

In this review the Emile Henry Flame Top 14.5' Pizza Stone is evaluated for home cooks and outdoor grill users who want a simple way to get a true pizza oven crust. The bottom line: this glazed stone uses Emile Henry's Flame technology to deliver consistently crisp, well-baked crusts and is safe for ovens, under the broiler and grills up to 900 degrees F, making it a practical tool for anyone who bakes pizzas regularly or who wants to turn a gas or charcoal grill into an outdoor pizza oven.

Key Features

• Made in France: The stone is produced from all natural materials and Emile Henry's proprietary Flame technology for a high-quality ceramic build.
• High heat tolerance: It withstands temperatures up to 900 degrees F so it performs well in hot ovens and on grills for crisp, rapid baking.
• Glazed, micro-crazed surface: The glazed finish encourages a crispy crust and lets you cut directly on the surface without scratching it.
• Works on grills and ovens: Designed for conventional and convection ovens, under the broiler and on gas, charcoal or natural wood grills to create an outdoor pizza oven effect.
• Easy handling and cleaning: Built-in handles make it easy to move and it is dishwasher safe for straightforward cleanup.
• 10 year guarantee: Emile Henry includes a 10 year guarantee against manufacturing defects for household use, offering longer-term peace of mind.

Who It's For

This pizza stone is a good fit for home bakers who want a robust, glazed option that simplifies cleanup and still delivers a crisp crust similar to a pizza oven. It's also ideal for people who grill frequently and want to convert a Weber-style grill into an outdoor pizza oven.

Those who should look elsewhere include cooks who need a non-glazed porous stone for some specialty baking techniques, and users who plan to subject the stone to extreme mechanical shocks or stove-top use, since the manufacturer does not recommend stovetop placement.
