Construction

The Nordic Ware Pizza and Baking Steel is crafted from heavy aluminized steel for rapid heating and excellent heat retention. Free of all coatings, the steel surface is designed for high heat baking and repeated use. Integrated handles make the 16 inch baking steel easier to lift and transfer, while the slightly raised rim helps keep food from slipping off during transfer. The large 16 inch size accommodates fresh and frozen pizza as well as sourdough bread dough.

Performance

The heavy aluminized steel absorbs and retains heat to support crisp, evenly browned pizza crusts and artisan breads. Its substantial heat capacity helps the oven return to temperature quickly when the door is opened, supporting consistent high heat baking. Suitable for ovens and grills up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, this baking steel provides a generous surface for pizza, bread, flatbreads, and other high heat recipes.

Versatile Baking

Use the Nordic Ware Pizza and Baking Steel for fresh or frozen pizza, sourdough bread, artisan loaves, flatbreads, and other recipes that benefit from a hot baking surface. The large 16 inch size provides ample space for large pizzas and bread dough while the integrated handles make lifting and transferring easier.

Care Instructions

Allow the steel to cool completely before cleaning. Hand wash with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly after washing. For added protection, rub a light coating of food safe cooking oil over the cooking surface and rim after washing to help prevent oxidation, similar to caring for cast iron. Do not use a dishwasher, metal scrubbers, or abrasive cleaners. High cooking temperatures may cause a permanent patina where ingredients contact the surface. This natural change is cosmetic and part of the breadmaking process.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

This pan is heat safe to 600° F (315° C) and may be used in an oven, over a grill or on a stovetop. It is safe for broiling.
Preheat baking steel in your oven or on grill top for a minimum of 5 minutes (ideally 8-10 min) prior to placing pizza or dough on top to ensure the steel is fully heated.
Your baking steel can also be used on a stovetop as a griddle. If using in this way, preheat 2-3 minutes over medium heat and use cooking oil or butter prior to placing food onto pan.
To help prevent fresh dough (store bought or homemade) from sticking, use a small amount of flour or corn meal under your dough to easily slide pizzas on and off pizza steel. Using a flat cookie sheet or pizza peel can be helpful for fresh dough. You can also lift hot preheated steel out of the oven with oven mitts to quickly make fresh pizza and return it to the oven to finish baking.
Large 16″ size accommodates fresh and frozen pizza, as well as sourdough bread dough.
Always use hot pads when transferring heated pan in and out of oven or grill.

CARE FOR YOUR PANS

Baking steel will retain heat long after it is removed from the oven. Allow to fully cool before attempting to clean.
Hand wash recommended with warm, soapy water. Dishwasher use not recommended as it may discolor your baking steel.
After hand washing in warm soapy water, we recommend you thoroughly dry the steel. For added protection, rub a light coating of food safe cooking oil on rim and cooking surfaces of pan after washing. This will help protect the surface and prevent oxidation, similar to how cast iron is treated.
Natural aluminized steel pans will develop a patina with time and use. Because of high cooking temperatures required for pizza and bread, this baking steel will take on a permanent patina to its surface where ingredients have touched it. This is a natural part of the art of breadmaking and is simply cosmetic. To brighten them up, try scrubbing with lemon juice, vinegar, cream of tartar or baking soda.
Safe for use with nylon, wood, or silicone utensils and scrub brushes.
Metal utensils and cleaning brushes will scratch the surface of your pan and are not recommended; however, scratches do not change the cooking properties or safety of your pans, which are made to last a lifetime.
Never immerse a hot baking steel into water. Allow to fully cool before cleaning.
