Do you bake with a baking stone?

[teacups]

What kind do you have and what do you think about it? Do you recall where you bought it? I want to try one for bread.
Thanks!

All of my stoneware is from pampered chef. I'm not a big fan of the flat baking stones, but I love the bar pans, 9x13 and casserole pans, and bread loaf pans.

I *love* my stones. They all came from Pampered Chef--I have almost all of them, too. (Hmmm...I may have a problem) I love that nothing sticks to them, food cooks evenly, and they're easy to clean.

I have a pizza stone (it is actually ceramic) that I use. It is from Big Green Egg.

I have a pizza stone that I got from Pampered Chef years ago. I make homemade dough from scratch and it cooks the dough perfectly every time. I have also made homemade breadsticks on it before and they turned out beautifully.

I love my Pampered Chef baking stones. The only problem is they take so long to cool down. You can't just take the cookies off and put more dough on right away like you can with metal sheets. If you have more than one it would be great I guess. I do love it for pizza or bread though. I also have the loaf pan, the pie plate, and the 9x13 baking pan. The pie plate is awesome - mine is almost black from so much use! The loaf pan is good for meatloaf. I hardly ever use the 9x13 because it is so heavy.

LOVE my baking stones! I have several including the pie plates. I got all of mine through Home and garden party, theyre a little cheaper than PC but just as good quality wise.
I leave my pizza stone in the oven all the time. It helps to cook foods on the other racks more evenly

I used to use a pampered chef stone to bake bread but it was too small. So was the pizza stone. So I went out and bought 6x6 inch unglazed ceramic tiles. The reddish/maroon ones. I had to custom cut some to fit around the edges of the oven rack. I also put down a double layer with the top ones overlapping the bottom so as to cover any space between the tiles to not allow any direct hear up from the heating element to whatever's baking.

This works very well for pizza and bread. They also stay hot for hours after the oven's turned off.

Yep.

I have 4 stones from PC. The small bar pan gets the most use. For cookies, pizza, or other things, I have both the regular and large round stones and the large rectangle stone. This way I can rotate them for cookies.

I love them as everything gets more evenly baked with them.
