By this point, you've all seen what a baking steel can do for your home pizza-making. It works on the same principal as a baking stone, storing heat energy and conducting it into the bottom of your pizza to give you faster bake, a crisper crust, better flavor, and a more tender crumb. The difference is that the steel has superior heat capacity and conductivity, making it all the better at delivering the kind of crisp, well-browned crust that you used to only be able to get from commercial pizza ovens.
Looks good, right?
