    I've used Pampered Chef's stones and imagine they are quite similar. A must-have!
  • Kimbesa Mar 24, 2012 @ 8:17 am | delete
    Yes and no... The Pampered Chef ware is more porous and lighter, which is why you cannot put them in the dishwasher. They will retain soap. The Hartstone ware is denser and you can put it in the dishwasher, and cut on it too. If you're ever in Kohl's, check out the Food Network unglazed stoneware and you'll have an idea of what the Hartstone ware is like.

    great lens

    This lens has been very helpful. We love homemade pizza at home and the problems you've described with the metal pans warping and the uneven heating are exactly right. I think one of these pizza stones are in our near future. Thank you!

    I love my pizza stones - i have 2 round and 2 rectangle and use for more than pizza ! A piece of parchment on top keeps them clean and cookies bake up perfect and even !

    I have been meaning to get a baking stone, more for bread making than pizza though!
  • KeepsakeIdeas Dec 10, 2011 @ 3:44 am | delete
    No I haven't, but you've made me hungry with all this pizza talk! It would be great to get that stone-baked taste at home so I may have to look into this.

    I have a pizza stone (of a different brand) and I love it!
  • TeamSTM Sep 21, 2011 @ 8:02 am | delete
    Now I have something New to try, I know the Big Pizza chains have good Pizza but the in-Home Pizza Kits are making a Subtle Comeback. So many people want to have a Good Homemade Pizza and I am one of them! :)

    I have owned a 1/2-inch rectangular baking stone for years, and I love it. I don't recall the brand name. I'd like another, but I'm having trouble finding one that is 1/2-inch thick. I understand the thinner ones tend to crack sooner. I checked a couple of your links, but neither of them stated thickness. Where to find the old-fashioned, durable thick ones like mine?

    I've always wanted to try a pizza stone. I think they are the perfect match for your home made pizza.

    I haven't.. and now I'm dying for one!!!!

    Gosh, I never thought about owning a stone for pizza -- I did recently buy stone cookware from a Pampered Chef party.

    Thanks! Just got another order of my pizza sausage, so I'm ready!

    I love making homemade pizza. I definitely agree a pizza stone makes a big difference in the finished crust. Mine is a pampered chef variety.
  • Kimbesa Jan 23, 2010 @ 5:16 pm | delete
    Thanks! I've been using my Hartstone pizza stone for several years now. It works great, very durable, and no worries about shipping direct from the manufacturer (Hartstone is in Ohio).
  • Jan 23, 2010 @ 2:16 pm | delete
    Oooh, I'm hungry now! I've never used a pizza stone, but I'd really like to try one. Excellent lens. (I like the Pyrex bowl you mixed your dough in...I have a set in a box somewhere.)
  • ElizabethJeanAllen Jan 14, 2010 @ 4:58 pm | delete
    We make pizza a lot and the stone does make a difference.

    Excellent information!!!

    I use Pampered Chef stones, they are wonderful.
    Try Hot Dogs on a stone - it's the best way to cook them!
  • Kimbesa Dec 11, 2009 @ 1:27 am | delete
    I use the Hartstone pizza stone and it works great! Turn up the oven to 500 degrees and get a nice crust under your favorite pie. These stones are dishwasher safe, won't absorb soap. And you can cut right on the stone, too. With use it will develop a nice patina.
