Description
xBOACHEE Pizza Steel XL 16"x13.4" is a heavy-duty carbon steel baking surface that delivers faster, more even heat for restaurant-quality, crispy crusts in ovens and grills.
Swap out fragile ceramic stones for a pro-grade carbon steel slab built to heat quickly, hold high temperatures, and tolerate repeated baking cycles. This XL steel gives you a generous 16" x 13.4" cooking area ideal for family-size pies, long flatbreads, or batch baking. Designed to fit standard home ovens and most outdoor grills, the BOACHEE Pizza Steel XL is engineered for speed, durability, and a reliably crisp bake.
How does the baking steel produce a crispier crust than a pizza stone?
The BOACHEE steel transfers heat to dough much faster than ceramic because carbon steel conducts heat more efficiently. That rapid, even heat jump-starts oven spring and quickly evaporates surface moisture, creating a crunchy exterior while leaving the interior tender.
- 20x faster heat transfer than typical stones for immediate heat contact
- Thick 1/4" (0.25") slab stores and releases heat evenly across the surface
- Draws out moisture and fat for less sogginess and lighter crusts
Can I use this steel in my oven and on the grill?
Yes — the BOACHEE Pizza Steel XL is rated for both indoor ovens and outdoor grills, including use under broilers. Its single-piece carbon-steel construction tolerates the high temperatures and thermal cycling common to both cooking environments.
- Fits most home oven racks and many gas or charcoal grills
- Safe under intense direct heat, enabling broil and sear techniques
- Ideal for pizzas, breads, flatbreads, roasted vegetables, and quick searing
What maintenance and care does carbon steel require?
Carbon steel benefits from simple upkeep: keep it dry, avoid soap when possible, and maintain a seasoned surface to protect against rust. Regular re-seasoning builds a natural nonstick layer and improves flavor release and durability over time.
- Hand-wash with warm water and a brush; dry thoroughly to prevent rust
- Apply a light coat of cooking oil after each use to maintain seasoning
- Re-season occasionally by oiling and heating to restore protective patina
How big and versatile is this XL baking steel for family cooking?
The 16" x 13.4" surface gives enough room for large pizzas, multiple smaller pies, long flatbreads, or batch items like pastries and sheet-seared vegetables. Its size and thermal mass make it a practical workhorse for weekend pizza nights and everyday high-heat cooking.
- 16" x 13.4" fits family-style pizzas and larger oven racks
- One-piece construction supports heavy items and even heat distribution
- Works year-round in the oven or outdoors on grills for versatile menus
