Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Old Stone Oven 4467 14-Inch by 16-Inch Baking Stone
Customer Review: Wonderful baking stone
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my daughter, a baker. As luck would have it, my stove thermometer broke just in time for her visit home for Christmas. Prior to opening the baking stone, with the oven temp fluctuating as much as 200 degrees, everything was uncooked or burnt. Once we used the stone, it smoothed out even that much fluctuation to an amazing degree. Once I bought a new stove and could really test it out, she raved about the quality of the bread and other baked goods and is wondering why she didn't get one long ago.
In reference to the comments about packaging, they have this thing packaged amazingly well now. It came in perfect condition.
Customer Review: Arrived broken, poorly packaged by Amazon
Summary: 1 Stars
Packaging looked OK from the outside, but upon opening the inner box, saw that the stone was cracked in half.
Amazon could have done a better packaging job - the inner box (original product) was well padded and said FRAGILE on it, but this box was knocking around inside a larger Amazon box with insufficient padding and no FRAGILE markings on the outside.
Since there's no way to ensure a better job will be done a 2nd time, I'm returning this for a refund (rather than an exchange).
Moral of the story... be home when it's delivered and shake the box - if you hear busted crockery noises, send it back!
Customer Review: Senseless packaging...
Summary: 1 Stars
Please note that I cannot comment on the quality of the stone since it never reached me in one piece. When the first one arrived broken Amazon sent a replacement, which was even more broken. It did not come in the usual Amazon box with bubble wraps. So I'm assuming that it came from the vendor directly since I've never had any complaints with Amazon service. Also when I made the purchase it was being offered for $20. At the current price I'm sure you will get a better deal in the future or somewhere else. If you do order it and it comes broken, don't bother asking for a replacement. Just do yourself a favor and request a refund.Customer Review: Do not buy.
Summary: 1 Stars
I accidentally ruined my father's old baking stone so I bought this on for him to replace it. Everything sticks to it! We thought maybe it just needed to be seasoned a bit before it stopped sticking. We've had it for over a month and we use it at least four times a week and it continues to make a mess out of anything we bake on it. That's not even the worst of it. It puts out a disgusting smell in the oven. Just last night we used it and had to sit it in the garage and open up the entire house because we all had headaches and our eyes burned from whatever fumes it was releasing. I definitely DO NOT recommend this item.Customer Review: Cracked after first use?
Summary: 3 Stars
Wow - not sure what to think. I washed with clean water before first use as recommended by the user's guide. Placed into a cold oven and heated to 450 degrees. Baked bread OK but bottom was a little damp, not crisp. Probably need to heat longer? Afterwards, when the stone had cooled I took it out of the oven to wipe off crumbs and noticed a six inch hairline crack from the edge to the center. Not sure if this was shipping damage I didn't notice (many folks complain about receiving broken stones due to inadequate packaging) or the stone cracked from heating? Time will tell if the problem become worse....
