Can you cut the pizza directly on the pizza stone?

I wouldn't recommend it. An aluminum pizza pan is made for that purpose. Try ablekitchen.com for pizza pans as low as $3.00 each. Also get a "pizza screen" to let pizza cool a little and prevent crust from getting soggy.

Hey Kara- I own two of these stones because they work great! They are quite heavy though and will stay hot for awhile after cooking. Cutting the pizza on the stone would be fine for the stone (it's quite sturdy), however, this would be hard to do because it's quite hot/heavy. After making my pizzas I use a pizza peel (relatively cheap) and pull the pizza out of the oven. I then cut the pizza on the peel. It would be tough to pull the whole stone out of the oven although it could be done. Hope that helps!

You could - however most people use a wooden pizza peel (like a flat wooden paddle) to remove the pizza from the stone before cutting it.

Hi - it is recommended that you do not cut the pizza on the stone. We transfer the pizza from the stone to a metal tray and cut it on the tray. It is also recommended to not cut on a wood service. Hope that helps.

You can, but not a good idea. Buy an inexpensive round metal pizza pan and cut it on that.

No, the stone is too hot, stone cannot be taken out of oven with pizza on it. When cutting the pizza, the sauce and cheese will melt onto the stone and cause black burn spots.

Well, you can but I would not recommend it. It will dull your knife or pizza cutter very quickly. Much better to move the items to a cutting board.

I line the pan with parchment paper and when it is time to bake the pizza I slide the whole thing off onto a pizza stone and bake it. When it's bubbling I slide it back onto the pan and then off again to slice with a pizza cutter. (that way I don't mess up the pan and get a great pizza shape and browned crust)

We have never had a problem getting our pizza off the stone. We don't do anything special to make this happen. Our pizza is homemade from the crust up.

No, it'll be more prone to breaking. To properly use a pizza stone you need to put it in the oven then start preheating it so it doesn't break. i usually make the pizza on parchment paper and put that on the stone. comes out with a great crust and hardly any clean up.

No, just a flat stone. Makes great pizza though. Nice and crispy that you can't get with a cookie sheet.

To answer your question, yes. Pizza stones by default are designed to be used in the oven. Not to be THAT person, but this question was already answered. Always be sure to check out others' questions because they usually have a lot of responses already, which makes the information you get that much more comprehensive. On a side note, this product is not very good. As a bit of an amateur pizza maker, I returned mine; there are much better products out there! The stone is very thin, the peel is not very good, and the cutter is rubbish. You're better off spending a few more bucks and getting a nice one.

Hey Michelle, Although the pizza crisper may look somewhat oval on the outside. The inner circle where you place the pizza is circular in shape. So, you should be able to slice your pizza as normal. Cheers!

As far as I am familiar with this product, no. If you didn't want to use this, use a fry pan on the stove, put the pizza in and heat it, then, towards the end, put a top on it to melt the cheese. Time varies according to the size of the slice and how much topping stuff is on it. Enjoy.

No pizza cutter necessary with this set. The dough is in four quarters, already "sliced." If you could find a plastic cutter at the grocery store, it would make a great addition.

No pizza stone and be careful when taking something out, as rack does tend to give way and hot food items fall forward. Hope this helps - and also saves you from a meal on the floor

yes you can - as all stone will, eventually you will need to sharpen your cutter ... so we slide it off the stone and onto our large cutting board ... eases that worry

I think it would work on top of the stone. It does brown the crust on its own though. When I only had one screen I would use my stone on the bottom rack and my screen on the top rack while doing two pizzas.

The oven has a pizza stone for making "standard" pizza. It works quite well. I love it! It also comes with a teflon coated pan for "deep dish" pizza with I never use. I don't care for deep dish pizza.

The stone needs to be 450 degrees or hotter. The pizza is the slid onto the stone. Flour or corn meal is used to slide the pizza off of a peal.

You might try cornmeal on the stone, then your pizza. I do mostly sourdough bread but that seems to help.

I use my pan for pizza and slide the complete pizza off the pan before cutting the pizza. I am afraid of damaging the pan, which may or may not be true if I would cut on the pan.
