More than just pizza

Share and Enjoy:

Did you know a pizza stone can be used for more than just cooking pizzas? I bought the Brava pizza stone about 5 years ago and it is still going strong after all this time. It has held up well over the years and has sustained no damage to it. I not only use it to crisp up frozen and homeade pizzas but it also works great to warm up take out and keep it warm for the whole meal. When I order delivery, I place my stone in the oven and turn it on to get it really hot. When the pizza arrives, I judge the temperature and either throw it on the stone in the oven for a few minutes or just place it on the stone to stay warm while we eat. The stone it also a perfect way to make the slice and bake (or ready to go in the oven) refridgerate cookies. They come out soft on the top and in the middle and crispy on the bottom. The trick is to take them out about 2 minutes before the recommended time and let them sit on the stone out of the oven for the remaining 2 minutes. Perfect everytime. It is also ideal for making and reheating bread as well. The most important thing to remember is to never get it wet when it is hot or it will crack. The darker the color of the stone becomes the better it works too so don't clean it too much but when I do clean it  I just used a damp sponge or paper towel when it has cool totally off and it is good to go.

  2. I've always wanted one of these for pizza. I have a small one that sits inside of the bread basket to keep the rolls warm and love it. They really do work to keep things heated.

  4. I too have a pizza stone (actually 3 of them) and love them! I have three for making alot of cookies at one time. This gives the stone time to cool in between batches. (Setting cookie dough on a hot stone for more than a few minutes causes the cookies to flatten. I like my dough to stay thick so I can have chewy cookies.) I also have baking stoneware in 8x8, 9x12, muffin pan, pie pan and a bar pan. I never use any type of metal or glassware for baking any more. Clean-up is always a breeze! I would have to try really hard to burn anything on the bottom. Yes even being neglectful the tops of food will still burn. I have put the stones in the freezer 1/2 hour before dinner to use them as a trivet for cold dishes, such as salads. In the reverse placing them in the oven to use under a dish for keeping foods hot. Love, love, love baking stoneware.
