Cuisinart Alfrescamore Pizza Stone

Yes, this stone is specifically designed for both grill and oven use. Its cordierite construction is built to handle the intense, direct heat of a grill, helping you achieve a crispy, wood-fired style crust at home.

Cordierite is significantly more durable and resistant to thermal shock than standard ceramic. This means it can withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking, making it much more reliable for high-heat cooking on a grill or in an oven.

With a 13-inch diameter, this stone is sized to fit comfortably in almost any standard residential oven. It is compact enough for easy storage while still providing ample surface area for a standard-sized artisan pizza.

Absolutely. The cordierite material excels at heat retention and moisture absorption, which pulls excess humidity away from the dough as it bakes. This process is essential for achieving that signature crispy bottom.

No, this stone does not require seasoning. However, we recommend preheating the stone in your oven or grill for at least 20 to 30 minutes before placing your pizza on it to ensure the surface is hot enough for an immediate, crispy bake.
