Kitchen Supply Wholesale Cordierite 16" Pizza Stone
Overview
The Kitchen Supply Wholesale 16" Cordierite Pizza Stone is a heavy-duty baking surface designed to bring restaurant-style crusts to home ovens and grills. Made from a specialized blend of lead-free clays, this stone emphasizes porosity and heat retention to absorb surface moisture and produce a thin, crisp bottom on pizzas, focaccia, and artisan loaves. Its thicker profile holds steady heat longer than many thinner stones, making it useful for multiple bakes or when using a grill or pellet smoker outdoors. It’s aimed at home bakers and grillers who want a more authentic stone-oven result without buying a commercial oven, and who are comfortable preheating and handling a substantial, fragile baking tool with basic care.
Key Features
- Diameter: 16 inches — large enough for most home pizzas and multi-roll breads
- Material: Cordierite made from a special blend of lead-free clays for high porosity and heat retention
- Thicker-profile design than many stones, engineered to maintain even temperature during extended bakes
- Oven- and grill-compatible — recommended preheat of ~30 minutes and peak baking temps around 500–600°F for best pizza results
- Uncoated, food-safe surface that promotes moisture wicking and crisping; hand-wash only and avoid thermal shock
