Rectangular Baking Steel 30cm x 40cm

Back in stock shortly.

This steel fits perfectly into a UK standard size oven, leaving just enough space around the edges for air and steam circulation during the bake. Having broken many baking stones during the baking process (steam, stone and heat not being a good combination!) it was a revelation to come across baking steels. Being totally indestructible as they are not phased by steam and heat, a baking steel is also optimal for baking because metal conducts heat better than stone and stores more heat per unit volume than stone – both key characteristics to creating a fantastic sourdough loaf and a pizza that cooks up both light and crisp. This baking steel is 30cm x 40cm, 6mm thick and weighs just over 5.5 kg. This rectangular steels is great for baking baguettes, 2 round or oval loaves at a time and bigger pizzas. We use these steels on Wild Baker sourdough workshops for baking our breads and sourdough pizzas. You will never go back to using a baking stone once you have tried a steel.

Please note that I am currently not having the steels engraved with the Wild Baker logo – the price of steel has risen dramatically in the last year due to general materials shortages and now the war in Ukraine, a major steel exporting country. While I am not passing this increased cost on to my customers; I am trying to keep costs down in order to be able to supply the same quality steel as I always have.

Please check your rack dimensions if you have a non-standard oven.
