Pampered Chef Large Round Baking Stone - 1370 Review

I purchased the Pampered Chef Pizza Stone and removable rack holder as a gift for my husband several years ago.  He is a pizza fanatic and had always wanted to try cooking pizza on a stone.  Needless to say, he was thrilled with the gift and has used it many, many times since receiveing it. 

I personally think it works well, but I also have used aluminum pizza sheets that seem to work just as well to me.  I dislike cooking stones, as they are not really made to be washed thoroughly, and I definitely like to scrub my dishes clean using very hot water.  I have the scrapper that you are instructed to use to remove any stuck on food from the stoneware, and that does work well.  However, sauces and oils just are not able to be removed as easily.  (I have tried cornstarch or lightly flouring the stone before baking, which seem to improve the amount of food sticking to the stone.) 

Overall, a good piece of kitchen equipment, but perhaps not totally necessary.
