To answer the question about if stones are different - yeah finally I can contribute! Okay the best stones are by Pampered Chef (my web site www.pamperedchef.biz/sanfordchef) or Sassafras (they have those on Amazon) The reason is the PC or Sassafras are fired to a higher degree and are not porous (only water can penetrate into the center of the stone) - What this means is that you can bake anything on them including foods with fat like chicken, cookies, etc. - and the steam from the water keeps the food moist (if baking chicken, etc.) The other stones can only bake dry food like bread dough - so less versatile - only bread or pizza (if you bake other types of foods, it will seep through and drip out the bottom and sometime the food spoils that is stuck in the stone between baking) Janet |
