Nuwave Heavy-Duty Cordierite Pizza & Baking Stone, Heat Resistant up to 1472F, Great for Indoor Electric Ovens, Outdoor Gas, Wood Fire Grills, BBQ

The Nuwave Heavy-Duty Cordierite Pizza & Baking Stone has received a mixed reception from customers, highlighting both its potential and some drawbacks. Many users commend its performance, noting that it cooks well and effectively holds heat, making it suitable for various cooking methods—including outdoor gas grills and wood fire setups. However, several concerns have emerged regarding its maintenance and usability, especially regarding its porous nature. Customers have pointed out that the stone tends to stain quickly after a few uses, which could be a significant cosmetic issue for some. The unglazed poress surface makes cleaning a challenge, leading to remarks about how difficult it can be to maintain freshness and cleanliness after cooking. Interestingly, some users suggested oiling the stone to minimize sticking, an additional tip that highlights the ongoing struggle with food adherence. Size also appears to be a concern, as some customers noted that the pizza stone might be smaller than expected, which limits its capacity for larger pizzas. Furthermore, although it performs admirably on traditional gas grills, there are complaints about its performance in conjunction with the New Wave Bravo XL oven. Some users reported that the stone does not achieve sufficiently high temperatures for proper cooking, particularly for the crust of the pizza, urging others to experiment with thinner crusts or additional oil. In summary, while the Nuwave Heavy-Duty Cordierite Pizza & Baking Stone shows promise in cooking performance, especially on grills, its maintenance and size issues could be deterrents for potential buyers looking for a more user-friendly option. **
