Stop compromising crust texture for speed. This rectangular baking stone delivers consistent heat transfer and robust thermal mass to produce crisp, evenly browned crusts across high-volume production runs. Operators obtain reliable results through a durable ceramic construction engineered for commercial kitchens since 1998.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Hand-wash the ceramic pizza stone with warm water and mild detergent using a soft brush; avoid soaking or dishwasher use. Rinse thoroughly and air-dry upright to prevent moisture trapping. Scrape baked-on residue with a plastic scraper; do not use metal tools. Clean high-touch surfaces like handles and edges after each shift to prevent contamination of items and hands and to support health-code compliance and customer perception.#@@#Additional Info#@#American Metalcraft PS1416 is a 16" x 14" ceramic pizza stone made from cordierite for thermal shock resistance. It is 0.88" thick, weighs 11.41 pounds, requires hand wash cleaning, and meets FDA guidelines for foodservice.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop compromising crust texture for speed. This rectangular baking stone delivers consistent heat transfer and robust thermal mass to produce crisp, evenly browned crusts across high-volume production runs. Operators obtain reliable results through a durable ceramic construction engineered for commercial kitchens since 1998.
#@@# Material Durability#@#
Cordierite ceramic resists thermal shock and withstands rapid temperature changes common in busy kitchens. The 7/8-inch thickness provides thermal mass that stabilizes oven temperature and reduces hot spots during repeated bake cycles.
#@@# Size Coverage#@#
At 16 inches by 14 inches, the stone accommodates multiple standard pies or large sheet items for parallel baking. Chefs increase throughput by loading more product per cycle without sacrificing uniformity across the baking surface.
#@@# Heat Retention#@#
The dense body stores heat and releases it steadily, promoting consistent browning and a well-developed crumb structure. This characteristic shortens recovery time between oven door cycles and maintains output during peak service.
#@@# Food Safety Compliance#@#
Manufactured from FDA-approved materials suitable for food contact, the stone meets industry expectations for safe bakeware. Staff must follow handwash care to preserve surface integrity and comply with sanitation protocols.
#@@# Weight and Handling#@#
At approximately 11.41 pounds, the stone balances portability with stability during use, minimizing shifting on racks and deck ovens. Team members can move the stone during setup while maintaining structural stability during operation.
#@@# Cleaning and Maintenance#@#
Handwash care prevents damage from thermal shock and preserves the ceramic matrix over time, extending service life. Routine removal of baked-on residue with non-abrasive tools maintains heat transfer efficiency and product quality.
