Winco Old Stone Pizza Stone

Cordierite is a mineral known for its exceptional thermal shock resistance, meaning it can handle rapid temperature changes without cracking. It also excels at absorbing and retaining heat, which is essential for creating the intense, steady environment needed to crisp up pizza dough.

With a 16-inch diameter and an overall width of 17.75 inches, this stone fits most standard full-sized home ovens. We recommend measuring your oven rack before purchasing to ensure you have enough clearance for the stone to sit flat.

You should never use soap to clean a pizza stone, as the porous material will absorb the detergent and transfer that flavor to your food. Simply scrape off any stuck-on bits and wipe it down with a damp cloth; if you need a deeper clean, use plain water and a stiff brush.

Absolutely. The stone's heat-retaining properties make it excellent for baking artisanal breads, flatbreads, or even reheating leftovers like pastries and cookies to restore their original texture.

For the best results, place the stone in a cold oven and let it heat up as the oven preheats. We recommend allowing it to sit in the oven for at least 30 to 45 minutes at your target temperature to ensure the stone is fully saturated with heat.
