Try pre-heating at a lower temperature, like 400º. Then turn on the broiler and raise the oven to max temperature before putting the pizza in. Can I leave the steel in the oven? Sure, many people leave the stone in their oven full-time, it acts as a heat sink when baking anything else. How do I clean it? Treat the same as cast iron. Use a metal spatula or scraper for the burnt on big stuff. You can scrub it clean in the sink, but be sure to dry it after. It comes seasoned, but if rust appears, or you scour it down to the bare metal, you can re-season it. Cooking back to back pizzas? Give the Steel a few minutes to warm back up in between pizzas. You can also use a handheld temperature gun to see the temperature. The thicker the Steel Stone, the more heat it can hold - and the faster you can make pizzas back to back. How do I re-season my steel? Use a hard bristle brush or steel wool to take off rust and anything burnt on. Wipe on some cooking oil with a rag or paper towel (we recommend flax oil for its high smoke point). Then wipe the oil off with a clean towel (there will be enough oil left behind in the pours of the metal). Put it in the oven at 400 degrees for 2 hours then turn the oven off and let it slowly cool. Review: makes pizza crust crisp - Heavy, so it's a great thermal mass. Reduces hysteresis in the oven, and makes a nice crispy crust on bread and pizza. The lip in the back prevents stuff from falling off the back and burning. Really worth it for bakers, and probably great for frozen pizzas too. I use parchment so I don't have to pull it out and clean it too often, but it's not hard to clean anyway, except for the weight. Review: Great product - I make great pizza in my oven with this. Gets the crust just how I want it and it takes only 10 minutes at 500 degrees ## Features - 20x higher conductivity than ceramic baking stones. - Gorgeous crusts, better blistering, and faster cook times. - Underside fins for faster heating & better thermal distribution than flat baking steels. At a hefty 15 pounds, it holds a lot of thermal energy. - Handles on the underside side make it easy to move. And we added a backstop to keep your pizza from sliding off the back. - 3D cast steel, unbreakable, guaranteed for life. Seasoned with organic flaxseed oil. Care for it like cast iron. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08LZXL1LZ | | Best Sellers Rank | #84,829 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #180 in Pizza Pans & Stones | | Brand | Nerd Chef | | Brand Name | Nerd Chef | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 227 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 14.5"L x 13.5"W x 0.9"Th | | Item Weight | 15 Pounds | | Manufacturer Part Number | NC-CI1314 | | Material | Cast Steel | | Material Type | Cast Steel | | Model Number | NC-CI1314 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash | | Product Dimensions | 14.5"L x 13.5"W x 0.9"Th | | Shape | Rectangular | | Size | Standard - (13.5" x 14.5") | | UPC | 850006701094 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nerd Chef - **Color:** Gray - **Material:** Cast Steel - **Product Care Instructions:** Hand Wash - **Shape:** Rectangular ## Images ![Nerd Chef Speed Steel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91TFPDzCvmL.jpg) ![Nerd Chef Speed Steel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81da9ccW2lL.jpg) ![Nerd Chef Speed Steel - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EQa2FlOzL.jpg) ![Nerd Chef Speed Steel - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81c1RIC0ftL.jpg) ![Nerd Chef Speed Steel - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ioAVuqgxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it dishwasher safe?

Reduces hysteresis in the oven, and makes a nice crispy crust on bread and pizza. The lip in the back prevents stuff from falling off the back and burning. Really worth it for bakers, and probably great for frozen pizzas too. I use parchment so I don't have to pull it out and clean it too often, but it's not hard to clean anyway, except for the weight. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by S***N on April 14, 2026* I make great pizza in my oven with this. Gets the crust just how I want it and it takes only 10 minutes at 500 degrees ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy, good, useful. *by Y***V on January 14, 2024* It's heavy (7kg), and that's a good thing. Easy to handle, pick up and transfer in one hand (when cold) because of all the ribs underneath. Well thought design. Functional and looks good. Fits perfectly in the oven and in standard Weber kettle, leaving enough space for the indirect heat zone. Stores tons of heat and produces great crumbs on my breads and pizzas. ## Frequently Bought Together - NerdChef Speed Steel - High Performance Pizza Baking Stone | Integrated Backstop & Handles | Heating Fins (13.5" x 14.5" x .90" Thick) - Chef Pomodoro Aluminum Metal Pizza Peel with Foldable Wood Handle for Easy Storage, Pizza Spatula, Gourmet Luxury Pizza Paddle for Baking Homemade Pizza Bread (12 inch) - King Arthur 00 Pizza Flour: Premium Non-GMO American Wheat for Perfect Neapolitan-Style Crust - Finely Milled for Authentic Italian Pizza at Home - Ideal for Crispy, Chewy Pizzas (3 lbs) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/265873265-nerd-chef-speed-steel](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/265873265-nerd-chef-speed-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
