Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Keilen Italian Villa 12-1/2-Inch Round Pizza Stone and Rack with Jumbo Pizza Cutter
Customer Review: Pizza Stone is a terrific value, Pizza Cutter is poor.
Summary: 4 Stars
I originally came upon this pizza stone because I was looking for a wood handled pizza cutter. I had never even thought about a pizza stone before but after reading reviews and doing a quick google on pizza stones I realized this could be the perfect product for me. I paid only $20 for the pizza stone and pizza cutter.
POSITIVES:
As a college student who cooks many pizzas in a small oven, I relished the pizza stone baking by pizza and not allowing cheese and toppings to hit the bottom of the oven and burn; turning into carbon. If any of you are familiar with authentic New York style pizzas then you are probably aware of the general purpose of a pizza stone. In New York they bake pizzas in a brick oven and every pizza adds a little bit of smoke and flavor to the brick stones. Many of these ovens are over 50 years old and all that flavor and spice builds up over time to create a unique pizza that you cannot get anywhere else.
A pizza stone does the same thing by absorbing smoke and flavors to make your pizza a little better. Now a pizza stone area is just little larger than the pizza but it adds to the pizza flavor. It also will prevent toppings from falling to the bottom of the oven which is a big plus. In addition, it will cook the bottom crust of the pizza more efficiently than leaving a pizza on the oven rake alone.
I recommend putting the pizza stone in the oven for 5 minutes to let it warm up and then put the pizza on top and cook like normal. The pizza stone comes with a handy metal frame that allows you to hold your pizza stone and pizza when not in the oven. The pizza stone makes a terrific cutting surface to cut the pizza on. You don't have to apply nearly as much pressure to get a perfect cut.
NEGATIVES:
The pizza stone and metal frame alone are a terrific value for $20. The added wood handled pizza cutter is verry poor. It feels flimsy and the red wood handle is poorly dyed. Whenever I wash the cutter in the sink by hand and let it dry, the red dye will seep out and stain everything. It really isn't worth using. I have since replaced the cutter with a plastic handled one from Target. I took off a star for including such a poor cutter with such a great stone.
Description of Keilen Italian Villa 12-1/2-Inch Round Pizza Stone and Rack with Jumbo Pizza Cutter
Transform your oven into an old brick hearth oven with our 12 Inch Jumbo Pizza Stone and Rack. The stone bakes evenly without hot spots and includes a jumbo pizza cutter.True or False: All pizza comes in a cardboard box. C'mon, now-that's false! Making homemade pizza is fun and easy with the help of Keilen's Italian Villa pizza stone. Crafted from hard-fired ceramic stone, the 12-1/2-inch round tile fits individual- to medium-sized pies and goes into any standard oven to cook like the pros. Unlike a metal baking pan, the natural material mimics the action of a brick oven by evenly distributing extremely high heats, providing better temperature retention, and removing moisture from the dough for a perfect, non-soggy crust. Stone also doesn't warp or wear out and requires very little care or maintenance. Mamma mia, now that's amore! For easy use, it comes with a heavy-duty oven-to-table rack and a stainless-steel pizza cutter with a handsome honey-colored wood handle. The tile cooks bakery-quality bread as well. --Kara Karll
