Brod & Taylor Bread Steel Max for Baking Bread & Cooking Pizza (14" x 14" x 0.15")

I cannot tell you just how many baking stones I have had break over the course of my life in my oven. This item right here, is a G A M E changer! If you do any sort of baking, you need this. If you any sort of cooking in your over, you need this. Long story short, this helps to stabilize the temperature of your over and will make you the nicest, crispiest crusts every. I am gluten free and let's just say, I have tossed more than my fair share of loaves of bread. This is so easy to use, superb quality and does exactly what it is support to do! Do yourself a favor and get one for your over. Don't skimp either, get the larger one. You won't be sorry. The price on this piece is incredible compared to competitors. It's solid. It's heavy, It does what is is supposed to do. Love this purchase.

I don't think I will ever use a dutch oven again! I am loving the results I'm getting from an open bake and the Brod & Taylor bread steel duo makes it so easy!! The size is perfect for 2 loaves and leaves plenty of room on the sides of each loaf. It is very sturdy, the heat distribution is completely even. I do put another pan underneath to prevent the bottom of my loaves from getting well done, but the overall results are amazing!

Ok, this is a MUST have for baking sourdough in a traditional oven. If you only need to bake one loaf, the max or regular will be fine, but to use 2 Brod & Taylor baking shells, the Duo is perfect. I also added 18"x18" fire bricks at the top for thermal mass, along with a square cast iron pan with 1-2" black lava chunks where I carefully pour boiling water on, once everything gets to 450°F. This adds a burst of moisture around the baking shells further insuring max spring. It also add additional thermal mass below the Duo steel. All this extra thermal mass and moisture let me bake 2 loaves back to back to back.. The duo steel is better than a pizza stone IMHO, primarily if your focus is bread making. Happy baking :-)

Love this for baking sourdough bread, as it super charges my bread to obtain oven spring and rise, it provides more consistent heat.

I love this baking steel, as it’s big and fits not just one loaf at the time , meanwhile it is not ridiculously heavy to put in and out of the oven. It provides great heat distribution and my breads come out perfectly

I was using a Dutch oven for baking my sourdough and since I’ve tried this I’ll never go back! I keep the steel in my oven and I purchased the Brod & Taylor dome to seal in steam to bake the bread. It’s the perfect combination. No more heavy lifting Dutch ovens and the bake is superior. The steel is a substantial weight and thickness. No burnt bottoms and perfectly browned bread with lots of blisters from all the steam created.

Who doesn’t love amazing sourdough without having to lift a kagillion pound Dutch oven, into a blazing hot oven while trying to avert injury. This, the cover, and a pizza peel changed the sourdough game for me.

I read about these long ago when recommended by a chef. Nice idea, but outrageously priced so I didn’t act on it. I snagged this one on sale and yes, it’s really that good. My baked goods are coming out evenly baked—much like a non-breakable baking stone. It’s easy to use, the size is perfect for baked goods and pizza. It’s to clean. but most of all I appreciate the oven temperature staying more consistent because it holds the heat.

After several use making sourdough bread and pizza, it became rusty. Even with careful handling to ensure no scratches, it rusted within a week of use. I had used my challenger pan for the last 5 years and condition is still good. Thought I’ll give this a try since it’s touted to be lighter and easier to handle. Very disappointing.

Great purchase!! We had a make your own pizza evening and I’m not sure how we’d have done this without the Brad & Taylor steel. Heats up super hot in the oven. Made a great base for the pizza and cooked the crust so no soggy crusts here! Easy to clean and store. Arrived well packaged. You can feel the quality when to unpack it. Highly recommend.

Einfach genial zum Brotbacken und für Pizza

Really useful for baking my sourdough as I leave it in the bottom of the oven so no heavy lifting, great quality item

High quality, the heat is evenly distributed and the bread gets a nice crust on the bottom. Now I regret getting the clay board first. I should have bought this one first
