About the VEVOR Cordierite Stone, 38x30 cm
The VEVOR cordierite stone, 38 by 30 cm, is a rectangular baking stone that shrugs off thermal shock, so it can go from cool to very hot without cracking. It suits a home oven or a covered grill, and preheated hard it crisps the base of a pizza well.
Cordierite is the practical all-round stone material: durable, cheap, and forgiving. The rectangular shape gives more usable surface than a round stone of the same footprint, handy for larger or oblong pizzas and for sliding a peel in and out.

Common questions
Is a rectangular or round pizza stone better?
A rectangular stone gives more usable baking surface for the same oven footprint, fits oblong pizzas and breads, and leaves room to work a peel in and out. A round stone suits a round oven or grill. For a home oven, rectangular like this VEVOR stone is usually the more versatile choice.
Will a cordierite stone crack in the oven?
It is unlikely to, because cordierite is chosen specifically for its resistance to thermal shock, unlike cheap terracotta stones that crack when heated fast. It can still break if dropped or if you pour cold water on it while hot. Preheat it gradually with the oven and it will last for years.
