Good for baking bread and pizza
By Abbotsford Flyers
Purchased this pizza stone along with the Breville Smart Oven. It heats up much faster than the Emile Pizza Stone (outstanding product for large stove).

Found the easiest way to use this stone is work with a cake lifter with parchment paper.

Parchment paper:

Bread, Cake, and Pizza lifter:

Heat up the pizza stone for 15 minutes.
Place parchment paper on cake lifter and build pizza or place bread on paper.
Open door and slide the bread or pizza onto the stone.
3/4 of the way through baking, remove the paper. This will allow the crust to crisp up and brown.

Over time the stone will stain, this is unavoidable, does not effect the baking.

I leave it on top of the Breville Smart Oven, on top of the Breville Cutting Board.

Using this stone without parchment paper or corn meal is difficult.

The pizza stone is a worthwhile addition to the Smart Oven.

Good for baking, a slight problem for fresh pizza
By Chris in Issaquah
The pizza stone is vey useful for baking bread and quick breads. In the summer we use this rather than our oven because the Breville gives off much less heat into the kitchen. The stone is easy to clean, and so far shows no signs of chipping or other failures.

Not so useful for fresh pizza - why
1) You have to preheat the stone
2) We make our pizza with fresh dough, and this is hard to place on the hot stone.

Instead we use the Breville 13-Inch Pizza Pan, which works well.

Tip: We use the Wilton Cake and Cookie Lifter to get the bread out when done. A good size to reach into the Breville oven without burning your hand.

Note: We don't use frozen pizza, and this stone might work well for that, since putting a frozen pizza on it would be easy.

Pizza Stone
By David
We recently purchased a Breville 6 slice toaster/convection oven, which is wonderful all by itself. The 13 inch pizza stone we purchased not only makes a great pizza, but looks great as well. We tried so many different kinds of pizza. Overall this is a very good product.
