This ceramic stone evenly distributes heat and retains excess moisture, so you always have a crispy pizza crust. Bread and especially pizza should be baked at a high temperature. Bread between 200-250 °C and pizza between 350-400 °C. Place your mulitlevel lift, heat deflector and grill grid with your pizza stone on it well in advance. Without the heat shield, the pizza stone would become so hot that the bottom of your pizza or bread would burn immediately.
