Hi,

I bake sourdough bread and pizza on a pizza stone in my home oven.
Recently, I bought a 1/2-inch round stone from a local store, but it
cracked after just a few months. Although my store replaced it, I
am now looking for a sturdier stone. I want something that I know
will last a very long time without needing to be replaced, and am
especially interested in products that are safe to use with a steam
pan.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've searched Usenet archives and
facts going back several years, and I can't find a clear answer to
this specific question.

Thanks very much in advance.

I just went to Home Depot and got a slab of soap stone. Just set it
on the bottom rack of your oven, you never have to take it out.


That ought to work. What are the dimensions? what'd it cost you?

I can't remember the dimenstions, sorry. My oven is 5.0 cu ft. The tile is
1/2" thick, and fits in the oven with about 2 inches of clearance on all
sides. Cost less than 30 bucks.
