How is this for heating hot stones?

I Have not ever worked with stones, but it works very well on towels. Don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

Whereas you cannot use water inside, I would say no. Generally stones reserve heat best when heated from warmth of water! I have a mini crock pot I use!

Get a cooking pot big enough to hold the stones you want. Place a wash cloth in it to protect the pot, add enough water to cover the stones and boil them. Carefully remove them from the water and dry them. Never heat in a microwave, they will explode!

I used it quite a few times on a ceramic top with no issues. It seems to take a lot of heating, so the stove does get hot, but no issues.

I always put mine in a cold oven so it heats up as the oven heats. You want the stone to be nice and hot when pizza dough goes on it. It gives a lovely crispness to the crust. Plus, I've heard the stone is more likely to crack if you put it into a hot oven.

These are like stoneware. But using pot holders works well. I haven't seen any damage from the heat.

We used the table last night. I have a wok I put on top iof the flame and cook in it. This is a better table than the more expensive ones. I know. I have one of those in NC. We added more lave rock and logs. After it's been buring for about 20 minutes they all start to glow and radiate heat. We actually have to turn it down. Hope this helps you. It's a great table but I'd buy extra gravel and a set of logs.

I actually have a gas burner and find this kettle to be just fine. I am told this kettle will also work on an induction or electric range; however, you may want to note that there is a slight ridge around the outside of the bottom so that the entire bottom does not lie flat on the surface. It may cause heating to be slightly longer, using a fraction more energy. I found this kettle to be great because of clear whistle, beautiful shine, easy grab handle (though I use an oven mitt), easy cleanout because of wide opening. Mechanism works well; I have no complaints...nice kettle!

Hmmmm I would guess but I have used it only as a pizza stone. It is made very well heats up to maximum sizzling hot. I would contact them and ask. Also we use white corn grit flour and so nothing sticks to the stone. Good luck

I haven't done this myself, I still boil water in a kettle first, but stoneware is fired at such high heat that it should be possible to heat the water right in the teapot, in the microwave. The only problem you may have, is the teapot could get very hot, including the handle.

My oven goes up to 550 degrees..it won't go higher than that..but I haven't had any problems so far putting the stones into it preheated. My stones are usually room temperature when I put them in. I've been using them for several months that way.

I have never used it on the pizza stone (sounds like a good idea), but the pads can withstand heat to 475 I believe.

The metal stainless steel handle gets hot. Maybe not as hot as you would expect, but it does get hot. You do need to lift it with a hot pad. Of course all this depends on how long the pot is set on a hot burner. That said. this family loves the three pots we own. They do a great job evenly distributing the heat and are easy to clean. They also look great. I would not hesitate buying this pot again. (The heat on the handle is no big thing to us and the SS handle is very durable.) (We also have Lifetime Cookware we bought many years ago. From time to time they do need service in the form of new handles and knobs. However, you can grab them with no hot pad.) Marcia Bahr

It does get fairly warm but, try holding a little lower than where the plates end towards the handle. You'll have just as much control and won't get burned. Remember, it's a pro-tool so it does get considerably hot, so be cautious in handling it either way.

The heat would need to originate from the bottom. That is how it is designed. I have used it on top of my gas grill, and it could be used on top of a range, fire ring, etc. but all heat comes from the bottom ... up, to heat the top and bottom stones. It does a great job BTW. I would add pictures, if I could to this post, as I fired up some pies last night.

Yes - I just overheated my grill to 700f with the stone and aside from the oils turning the stone dark, dark brown the stone came out AoK. Be sure that the stone is dry or it will crack for sure.

lower to recipe needs-preheating to 500 is only to get stone hot-hope this helps
