BKC Large Rectangle Pizza Stone Set, Rectangular Stone Baking Stone with Wooden Pizza Peel, Server Rack, Recipe Book. Oven or BBQ. Make Italian Stone Baked Pizza Bases, Cook Bread & Calzone.

A hefty, thick pizza stone that retains heat well and helps develop a perfect crust. Fits nicely into a standard 60cm oven, and will easily accommodate a large family size pizza. The included serving rack and peel are of good quality, while the included booklet of tips and recipes will be useful for the beginner. Wipes clean after use with a dry cloth, although you can use a spatula for any stubborn burnt spills - it doesn't have to be spotless though, and will develop a patina with use. Manufacturers packaging is brilliant by the way, with a sturdy box and form-fitted foam insert to prevent any risk of damage in transit.

So great. Where are a few things that it is missing like a back guard (we used metal spatula to hold the back half, to stop pizza sliding, not vital). That is it. Nothing else could be said even slightly bad about this product. Worked wonderful, and even came with instructions that were spot on. The review asks for a rating for flavour... well it has none yet (new stones should not have any, but develop them in time) so gave it a three, as there was no flavour as it should be, so seemed odd question. Thickness is average but I have seen some with better bottom half to store heat, although this was still a thick and solid item. Value is great, this will save us having to buy pizza from store ever again and will save us more money in long run then it cost. Better too.

We used the pizza stone once, and put the pizza stone and wooden paddle away clean and dry (as far as we know) back it its box. We didn't use it for 3-4 months and the next time we got it out, the wooden paddle was totally covered in black mould which had also stained the stone itself, rendering it useless. As I said, we are fairly sure, but not 100% sure that both the stone and wooden paddle were dry when put away; they were both definitely 100% clean. Very disappointing, but rather expensive to only use it once! UPDATE: I contacted BKC Retail Ltd. and explained what had happened and they offered to send a replacement product, and at the same time explained how important it is to clean and dry the product, and store away when cool. I have therefore upgrade my review to 4 stars from 2 stars for the excellent customer service!

I don’t usually write reviews, and I was a bit sceptical about buying this stone base but it is absolutely fantastic!! Previously I have only ever used pizza baking trays but the stone base has given such a delicious taste that you wouldn’t usually get with a normal pizza tray. The stone set also comes with a recipe book which is suitable for everyone, including vegans. I will definitely recommend this stone set to everyone, as it gives you the best pizzas ever. Definitely something you can impress your friends and family with!

These are well packaged, I have kept the box for easy storage. I have received one as a gift and have bought another as I am so pleased with them. I have used these both in an indoor oven and on a bbq. They improve the base of the pizza greatly and I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys the art of home made hand crafted pizzas.

Very hard to get the pizza onto the Stone with the wooden paddle. The base did taste nicer. Could not get it clean afterwards so I ended up asking for a refund and returning it.

I looked at various pizza stones before ordering this particular one.I must say I'm very impressed by this product, It's packaged very well and unlike a lot of other pizza stones the instructions are in English! It comes with a few new recipes which I'm looking forward to trying out. The pizza stone itself is well crafted and the metal rack makes lifting it in and out of the oven easy and safe. This pizza stone set is perfect and I'll be ordering more soon as Christmas gifts.

Since lockdown I have been trying to make my own pizzas at home. I am baking in an electric fan assisted oven (on Pizza) setting but struggling to get the same texture on the base as you would get in an Italian pizzeria. An Italian colleague mentioned this to me and suggested that I try it. The item arrived quickly and was well packaged. On opening up the box I did notice that there is a scratch on the stone (shown in one of the photos). But not so severe so I decided not to return. I wiped over the surface of the stone and the peel with a damp cloth and then placed the stone into the cold oven before heating up. The stone heated up well and dispersed the heat evenly. I would recommend flouring the peel and stone before placing the dough on them (it will help the pizza slide on and off). I cooked 2 pizzas as a test, one on the oven shelf and one on the stone. The one on the stone definitely had the crispier base and provided a nicely browned/charred finish. This has got to be the most successful effort so far and really pleased with the taste and texture. I left the stone in the oven to cool down completely before removing and wiping over. They’re are some stains and marks left that would not wipe off but I have been told that, much like a seasoned wok, this adds to the flavour of the future pizzas and does not affect the performance. Overall I am really pleased and believe that I will order a second on (my wife wants her veggie pizza cooked on it) :-).
