| Hi: I'm in the market for a pizza stone, and I've just noticed that All Clad makes a soapstone pizza stone set that is set into a stainless steel handle. It looks nifty, though it is not cheap ($99 on the web, $119 at William Sonoma). The thing that I like about it is that that the handles would make it easier to get in and out of the oven, to serve on, and you could use it as a pretty handsome tray for appetizers or cheeses (I'm a bit storage space constrained, so I'm always looking for double duty tools). My only worry is that All Clad says that it is only safe to 450 degrees, and I always cook my pizza at 500. Any thoughts on this purchase? Thanks. |

| I would not buy any pizza stone that says it's only safe to 450. Also a pizza stone gets pretty grungy looking after a few uses, don't think you would want to use it for serving. Go for an ordinary stone without a frame to put it in and save some money. Just leave the stone in your oven, on the bottom shelf. It works for a lot of things, like bread and rolls as well as breaded chicken etc. Linda C |

| Lindac, Thanks for the advice. You make excellent points, and I am convinced. Thanks to you I'll actually spend less money than planned for once! Thanks for sharing your views. |

| I keep pizza stones on my bottom shelf but I'm squeamish about the broiler. Has anyone had a bad experience with broilers & stones? Is there any reason to worry? |

| I bought my pizza stone with handles from Target for $7 from the clearance rack. However, Fibrament is supposed to be the top of the line pizza stone. |

| I prepared my first pizza on my new (cheap) pizza stone last night. It was delicious. What a difference over a pizza cooked on a metal pizza pan. Thanks for the advice and for encouraging me to go cheaper than I'd planned on this purchase. Now with the money I saved.... |

| ELENAL; DONT WASTE your money. You can get a pizza "stone" from Home Depot type place for about 2.50. Mine is a 16" square unglazed ceramic floor tile. And whoever said it gets dirty is RIGHT, or maybe I am just too lazy to clean it all the time, ;) lol. |
