ThermiChef 16x16 Pizza Steel, 3/8" Thick, 27.5 lbs - Cooking Steel for Oven & Grill - Made in USA

CRISPY CRUST IN UNDER 10 MINUTES - This 16x16 pizza steel conducts heat up to 20x more efficiently than a ceramic pizza stone, providing intense, even heat distribution. Preheat your oven to 500°F with the steel in it for 45–60 minutes and cook a pizza in under 8 minutes. Achieve the same restaurant-quality results of a wood-fired oven using your standard oven at home!

16x16 FITS MOST STANDARD OVENS - This steel can cook pizzas up to 15" in diameter and fits comfortably on most full-size oven racks. Measure your oven's interior depth before ordering to make sure this 16" cooking steel will fit. The 14" x 14" is recommended for compact or apartment-sized ovens. This heavy-duty steel is designed for maximum heat retention, weighing 27.5 lbs or about as much as a case of bottled water.

IS 3/8" RIGHT FOR YOU? The 3/8" Deluxe is built for back-to-back cooking since it stores more heat than thinner steels and recovers faster between pizzas. If you're hosting, batch cooking, or serious about bread baking, this is the right call. If you're cooking one pizza at a time and want something lighter to handle, the 1/4" gives you most of the performance at roughly 10 lbs less. The lightweight 3/16" steels are easier to manuever and best for thin crust pizzas.

OVEN, GRILL, STOVETOP, CAMPFIRE - Great for more than just pizza, use this steel for sourdough bread, smash burgers, roasted vegetables, breakfast, and flatbreads. At 16" x 16" it fits over two burners on most gas and electric ranges. On the grill, it works as a flat-top griddle surface with the same low-carbon steel handling direct flame without warping.

MADE IN THE USA & BUILT TO LAST - Precision CNC laser-cut from a single piece of low-carbon steel in Minnesota. Ships shot-blasted (not pre-seasoned) - season it once before first use: wash, apply a thin coat of oil, and bake at 375°F for one hour. After that, it builds a natural non-stick patina with every use, similar to cast iron. No Teflon, no PFAS, no coatings that chip or wear off. Virtually indestructible, it won't crack from thermal shock like a ceramic stone.

The ThermiChef 16x16 Pizza Steel is CNC laser-cut from a single piece of 3/8" low-carbon steel in Minnesota — no Teflon, no PFAS, no coatings that crack or chip. At 27.5 lbs, it's built to stay on your oven rack during a cooking session rather than be lifted frequently; it stores more heat and recovers faster between pies than any thinner steel in the lineup, making it the right choice for back-to-back pizzas, hosting, or high-hydration sourdough baking. Preheat at 500°F for 45–60 minutes and cook a pizza in 5–7 minutes. Also works on gas and charcoal grills and over two burners on the stovetop. Fits standard full-size oven racks; measure your interior rack before ordering — the 14x14 is available for compact ovens. Ships shot-blasted; season once with oil at 375°F for one hour, then it builds a natural non-stick patina with every use.
