When it comes to preparing a showstopping holiday dinner, your oven and grill are about to get a serious upgrade—thanks to the Old Stone 14x14" Pizza Steel. While many home chefs use a pizza steel for perfect, crispy crusts, its versatility extends far beyond pizza night. This powerhouse kitchen tool can help you sear meats, crisp vegetables, bake breads, and even caramelize desserts with professional-level results.
At KitchenSupply, we believe great cookware should work as hard as you do. That’s why we love the Old Stone Pizza Steel—a durable, high-performance steel that helps you master heat control for restaurant-quality dishes right at home.
Why the Old Stone Pizza Steel Is Perfect for Holiday Cooking
Crafted from ¼-inch thick steel, the Old Stone Pizza Steel is built to last. Its excellent thermal properties allow it to absorb and distribute heat evenly across the surface, helping you maintain consistent cooking temperatures whether you’re using it in the oven, on the grill, or in a pizza oven.
Pre-seasoned and cured at high temperatures, this steel is ready to use out of the box. Over time, it develops a natural patina that adds even more protection and flavor. The dual-sided design makes it ideal for everything from baking pastries to searing meat:
- One side provides a smooth surface for pizza, breads, and baked goods.
- The reverse side includes a built-in moat that catches oils and fats—perfect for meats or vegetables that tend to drip or flare up on the grill.
Cooking Holiday Dinner: Creative Ways to Use Your Pizza Steel
With a high level of versatility, your pizza steel easily becomes the secret weapon of your holiday kitchen. Here are some holiday cooking ideas for your steel:
Sear Meats to Perfection
A pizza steel really shines when you want bold browning and high-heat performance.
It can be used to sear and brown meats, then finish them to your desired temperature in the oven (this can also be achieved in reverse order).
Pro Tip: Preheat your steel for 30–45 minutes before placing the meat. This ensures a powerful sear that rivals your favorite steakhouse.
Side Dishes: Crisp Vegetables and Potatoes
Want evenly roasted vegetables or perfectly crisped potatoes? Spread them over the flat side of your pizza steel. The steel’s conductivity eliminates soggy centers, giving you a golden, crunchy finish on Brussels sprouts, carrots, or sweet potatoes.
Bake Rustic Breads
Make artisan bread with bakery-quality texture. The even heat distribution produces a crisp crust and soft interior—ideal for focaccia or cinnamon rolls.
Desserts: Steadier Bakes (Especially Pies)
When baking holiday desserts, consistent oven temperature matters. A pizza steel can help regulate heat in the oven, which is especially helpful when baking pies and other desserts where you want even browning and a reliable bake.
A Holiday Workhorse You’ll Use All Year
Old Stone Pizza Steel is highly durable, and resistant to warping. Whether you’re using it in a home oven, pizza oven, or grill, it will deliver flawless performance every time.
So this holiday, elevate your dinner from ordinary to extraordinary with the versatility and durability of the Old Stone 14x14" Pizza Steel. From beautifully seared mains to crisp side dishes, fresh-baked breads, and perfectly baked desserts, it’s the one kitchen tool you’ll use long after the holidays are over.
