Cooking Pizza - Stone or No Stone?

Unknown · March 2007

I went to get a pizza stone today as we are having a Pizza Party this weekend. My dealer told me not to worry about it and use the Plate Setter. The BGE video says to use the plate sitter and the pizza stone. Any Suggestions?

Eggeneer,
yes - find a dealer who knows the product![p]Yes you need a pizza stone in addition to the setter. You can get by without a setter if you use a couple fire brick laying flat under the stone while all is sitting on the grate, but otherwise the setter doesn't have enough ceramic mass for uniform heat distribution.

Eggeneer,[p]Yes definitely use a pizza stone. Make sure you heat it up with platesetter.

Eggeneer,
I've made about 5 or 6 pizzas (thin crust) directly on the setter without a pizza stone. Haven't had a single problem. Make sure to sprinkle some cornmeal on it to prevent sticking. I do mine at around 400 to 425 for 15 to 20 minutes. Hope this helps. Enjoy your Za.

Eggeneer,[p]Use a stone. My plate setter is nasty over the years I have cooked with it. A pizza stone is specific for pizza and wont get mucked up with smoke, grease and ash from other cooks.[p]
