Emile Henry Pizza Stone Review and Giveaway...

Congrats TawndaM!

We recently had the chance to review a pizza stone from Emile Henry.

About the Emile Henry Pizza Stone:
"Emile Henry debuts a Pizza Stone designed to make brick-oven style pizzas in home ovens and on backyard grills. Made in France of Flame-Top technology, this 14inch ceramic round stone absorbs moisture from the pizza dough while distributing heat evenly throughout the pie. The result is evenly cooked pizza dough that doesn’t burn on the bottom before the toppings have cooked. Unlike other pizza stones, this one is glazed so that it is easy to clean leaving no food, stain or odors.
The Emile Henry Pizza Stone heats up quickly and cleans up easily changing the process of making homemade pizza from a time-consuming event to a fast meal. This stone, due to its flame-top characteristics, heats up in about 15 minutes. Most substantial pizzastones take much longer, some nearly an hour.
This stone is light-weight and features large handles making it easier to lift and manage unlike other pizza stones which are hard to maneuver on a grill and are even awkward in an oven. Cooks, using potholders, can lift the stone by the handles and carry it to a trivet or counter for cutting and serving. Cooks can cut right on the stone or they can slide the pizza off onto a cutting board. The stone is naturally non-stick so a pizza slides right off.
The stone doubles as an appetizer or cheese tray that can go from refrigerator or oven to the table. The Flame-Top Pizza Stone, made of a proprietary flameproof ceramic, is the first Pizza Stone of its kind available on the market today."

What we thought:  I love this pizza stone!  We make a lot of homemade pizza, but we usually use a baking sheet instead of stone because the stone we had previously took forever to heat through and often burned the crust before the top of the pizza was thoroughly cooked.  The Emile Henry pizza stone fixed that!  First of all, this stone is gorgeous!  I love the built in handles...our old stone had the metal attachment thingy that slipped a lot.  The Emile Henry cooked our thick crust pizza perfectly.  The crust didn't burn and the pizza was cooked evenly throughout.  Cleanup was a breeze.  We even tried this stone on the grill with a flat bread pizza and it didn't disappoint.  We will be using this stone every time we make pizza from here on out and probably as a serving dish too...its soooo pretty!  ABCD Diaries gives the Emile Henry Pizza Stone an A+!
