Arcedo 12" Cordierite Pizza Stone for Oven & Grill — 12x12 Square, Heavy-Duty Heat Retention

The Arcedo 12-inch square cordierite pizza stone delivers brick-oven style heat retention for crisp, evenly baked pizzas and flatbreads on both ovens and grills.

Built from dense cordierite ceramic and engineered to tolerate high temperatures, this 12" x 12" x 0.6" baking surface absorbs moisture from dough and spreads heat steadily across the crust. The stone's porous structure mimics traditional masonry ovens, producing a crisper bottom and more consistent bake than metal pans. A stainless-steel scraper with a silicone handle is included for easy dough cutting and residue removal after the stone cools.

How does this stone produce a crisp crust?

Because cordierite is highly heat-retentive and porous, it soaks up surface moisture from dough and holds steady heat throughout the bake. That moisture removal plus direct conduction simulates the effect of a brick oven, encouraging a brown, crunchy base without overcooking the toppings.

• Porous cordierite draws moisture out of dough for crisper bottoms
• Large surface area distributes heat evenly to prevent hot spots
• High thermal mass keeps temperature steady during loading and baking

Can I use this stone in an indoor oven and on an outdoor grill?

Yes — the cordierite composition handles the intense heat of both conventional ovens and gas or charcoal grills. It tolerates rapid high temperatures but should be heated and cooled gradually to maximize longevity and avoid thermal stress.

• Rated for very high-temperature use in both ovens and grills
• Works with gas, charcoal, and electric grills when preheated properly
• Place stone on a stable grill grate or oven rack for best results

How do I clean and maintain the pizza stone?

Do not use soap or detergent; the stone is absorbent and can retain cleaning agents that affect flavor. After the stone cools, scrape away baked-on bits with the included stainless-steel scraper and wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a plastic scraper and warm water only, then allow the stone to air dry completely before storing.

• Avoid seasoning with oil or grease — it can smoke and be absorbed
• Never place the stone in a dishwasher
• Use the metal scraper on cool stones to remove deposits safely

What sizes of food can I make on this 12-inch stone besides pizza?

The compact 12" square fits small to medium pizzas as well as many other baked goods. It’s ideal for artisan breads, calzones, flatbreads, cookies, and reheating leftovers to restore crispness without sogginess.

• Perfect for single to medium-family pizzas and flatbreads
• Great surface for baking bread loaves, biscuits, pastries, and cookies
• Also useful for reheating foods to recover a crisp texture
