Pampered Chef Large Round Baking Stone - 1370 Reviews

When I started selling Pampered Chef, this product was in my "kit".  We starting using it immediately as we eat a lot of pizza in this house.  We tried it without preheating the stone and preheating the stone.  It seems to work the best by preheating it at say 475.  We also tried it with cornmeal on the stone and that also gave satisfactory results.  The darker the stone became, the better it worked. —  We have used it for cookies, bisquits, breads and even drying apples!  My husband likes to leave one in the oven all the time because it is easier… read full review »

I got my baking stone about eight years ago and still use it constantly. I don't make a lot of pizzas, but cookies turn out perfectly every time. There are some great recipes in the instruction book as well(the fruit pizza is wonderful). The newer ones come with handles which must be very helpful because the stone itself is a little awkward to get in and out of the oven. It does get very hot and takes some time to cool down. Hint: Always let stone cool a bit before putting another round of cookies or another pizza on it and in the oven. All in all it's one of my favorite kitchen tools.… read full review »

I do love my baking stone. I use it for pizza, cookies, and biscuits. It cleans up well and is easy to store. I wish it wasn't so heavy. But I guess that is the definition of clay. What I don't like about it is that fact that it discolors. The Pampered Chef catalog actually talks about the nice coloration over time. To me it just looks stained and dirty. When something is clean I want it to look clean. I am glad to have it and wouldn't give it up for anything. I got it as a gift but I would have bought it for myself. It is a good price.… read full review »

I received my Pampered Chef baking stone as a gift. I have used it time and again, each time with great results. Even though it is not dishwasher safe, it's a breeze to clean since it only needs a damp cloth to wipe it off. I really love using mine! And yes, it's pricey----but when considering purchasing a baking stone, you must think of it as an investment. This "investment" will pay off for you each time you use it by producing quality results with whatever you bake on… read full review »

I love this stone!  Be sure to buy the optional handles if you buy the stone, it will make it a lot easier to take it out of the oven.  This will get your pizza crisp and cooks evenly.  My favorite thing about this stone -- it will keep your pizza hot, until your done with dinner.  Great for reheating left over pizza or delivery/take-out pizza as well, keeps the crust on left overs crisp,… read full review »

This is a great product that everyone should have in there kitchen.  I have this and the rectangle baker.  I love both products and use them for everything.  It is very simple to use.  I do reccomend getting the optional metal rack to make getting it out of the oven easier.  When washing it make sure you do not use soap.  Soap will ruin the stone.  It is the only thing that will ruin it.  To wash it you simply use the scrapper to scrap off any food residue and then wipe it or rinse it with hot water.  Thats it.  Its naturally nonstick so you… read full review »

I love all of my Pampered Chef baking stones.  I use them a lot and have never burnt anything on one of them.  I especially love to bake cookies on the stones, as they do not get overdone and hard.  The cleanup is easy too, just don't use any soap on them. The only problem with them is that they are a little bulky to store.  I keep them in the boxes and stack them in a cupboard.  They are a little pricey, but well worth the extra money.  I also love the recipes that come with the products purchased.  Most of the recipes are easy and delicious.  If I am… read full review »

The Pampered Chef Pizza Stone is the most awesome pizza stone I have ever owned. I have tried cheaper stones and none of them can hold a candle to the Pampered Chef stone. I have found that to make the "perfect" pizza, heat your oven to the highest setting (mine heats to 550 degrees). I then use a boxed pizza crust mix, add toppings and cheese and bake on the stone for about 10 minutes (or until your particular "doneness"). I have one of those tabletop pizza makers that turns the pizza under the heat...I thought that was the best until I bought my Pampered Chef Stone...now the old pizza maker… read full review »

I have several Pampered Chef products and I absolutely love them.  I have two baking stones - a round one and a rectangle one.  They cook so evenly.  I don't use them just for pizza, I also use them for cookies, biscuits, whatever I can use them for.  They are so much better than metal cookie sheets.  I also have a bread pan, mini bread pans, and a casserole dish.  — Even though the products are a bit pricey, I would definitely recommend the Pampered Chef products to anyone.  Great products. —… read full review »

It may get darker with time, but it works even better, and that is never ugly!  I love being able to bake on this.  Anything I bake on the stone versus a metal cookie sheet does better on the stone.  Cookies don't stick, french fries get crispier, biscuits get brown on the bottom as well as on the top.  Not to mention how great pizza is baked on this!  It is a must have for any… read full review »

This pan is awesome.  It make sthe most perfectly crsip pizza crust, whether frozen or fresh, and makes cooking perfectly browned cookies super easy!  Stoneware baking is a bit diffrent, you will have to add 5 minutes more of cooking time just because it takes the stoneware a while to heat up completely.  I also suggest buying the rack so its easy to get in and out of the… read full review »

I bought the Pampered Chef Baking Stone from a friend at church who was selling for her school.  This clay baking stone is worth every dollar I paid for it.  Not only do I bake pizza on it, I also bake biscuits which turn out golden brown in a lot less time than baking sheets.  I couldn't do without it and plan on buying other… read full review »

I use my Pampered Chef for pizza, cookies, rolls, biscuits.  It's VERY VERY hard to burn food with these.  They cook evenly, they're good quality and affordable.  — I've collected many Pampered Chef Stone pieces.  I bake cakes, brownies, casseroles and the quality in the food is so much better in the stoneware.  —… read full review »

I would buy this stone over any other brand because if you accidentally break it, Pampered Chef will replace it without hassle.  Some consumers complain about the stone looking ugly, but letting it go through my stove's self cleaning cycle has always made my stone look brand… read full review »
