I'd like to heat my stone under a broiler to 900F. Can this stone handle that?

Sorry I didn't see this question prior to now. Yes, this stone can handle that with ease. Enjoy. Joe

Not to worrie. I can't say what temp. it gets to, but I have seen no problem with the external heat. Even when I broiled a chicken breast at 400 degrees with the door cracked open, there was not much heat outside the unit. My upper cabinet is rather high, but I would feel very save with it under one that was closer to the top of my oven.

I used it in a 475 degree oven with a hot pizza stone. I could clearly handle the heat just as well as a wooden peel.

I don't know what the highest temperature it can stand, we have only used it in the kitchen oven for pizza and usually have the oven set for 400 degrees. My guess is that even thought your grill showed 550 if the stone was sitting over the direct heat of the burners that temperature would have been higher. I would also suggest that the stone be pre-heated.

not sure i would think it could handle the heat since my oven goes to 475 but the mat is very thin so anything under it would get very hot very fast

Yes, make sure you put it in the oven when you preheat the oven. And make sure the stone is completely dry otherwise it can crack

No problem this stone is made of the same material as kiln Bricks are made of, should handle well over 700 degrees even on a nice charcoal grill which BTW works considerably better than a gas grill for baking Pizza's. Just put a heat diffuser under it between the charcoal and the stone, I use a Lava Stone this will keep the intense 900++ direct heat off the stone and make it so the toppings get cooked before the bottom of the crust burns. Even better is to place a large cheaper pizza stone OVER this one either on an upper rack or take 3 fire bricks and rest the cheaper rectangular stone over the pizza that way you basically make a miniature brick pizza oven and if preheated to about 650+ degrees should cook an average pizza in about 3-4 minutes with the cheese bubbly and golden brown.

So far, I have only used it for baking fish or other foods that require a high temperature for 15-20 mins, I have a convection oven. It is heavy and doesn't warp even when the heat is at 450F. I think you could use it under the broiler (is that what you mean by "grilling"?), try heating just the pan to 500F and see.

We use it at 425 - 450. It's stone/ceramic, so I think it would be OK since it was probably fired at a way higher temp than 600 when it was manufactured.

I don't think you can use any silicone sheet under a broiler. They can be used up to 475 degrees I believe and broilers are hotter I think.

I do not see a problem with that as long as you keep the wind off it. Mine will reach 900 on a hot day, but I have found that 900 is to hot to cook a pizza in this oven. Mine come out good at around 700-800. At 900 I completely burned one up. This oven takes a little practice to get use to baking with it. I believe my review will help you if you buy the proper size peel for this item. I had trouble with my dough raising to much causing it to undercooked in this oven. I have ordered a pizza docker. Which does not pierce the dough, but rather pinches it together like the two side of a quilt. This helps keep the dough from raising to much when baking. Hope this helps you!

I'm sorry, but I really don't know. The hotplate has a fan that works to cool it down, but don't know if it will be enough. I myself would not put the oven on it. Jo

I Heat mine at 500, and use it in the oven only. If you are using it for baking a pizza, heat the stone for an hour and you will get a better pizza. Bake the pizza for 10 to 15 mins. This info comes from the American Test Kitchen.

I am not sure why but it appears that the cooling rack can be used up to 350 degrees. As to the broiler, perhaps it is because of the aluminum. I have not used this one under the broiler not even my neighbor. If it requires 450 what are you making, I will suggest using another pan such as Farberware or Good Cook which are inexpensive and work fine even under the broiler.

I can't say exactly it buries the needle on supplied thermometer I would say in the neighbor hood of about 900 F. I will say it cooks a pizza in about 2.5 minutes and it is truly a wood fired pizza. Do not use a cheap stone it will crack. I used one I had used in my home oven for years and second run on Kettle it cracked. I purchased a quality stone 5/8" thick x 15" diam. from California pizza stones it is great and will last. All so keep in mind there is a learning curve with Kettle you have to stay on top of pizza as it bakes spinning and the like as is done in a wood fired brick oven and you will be pleasently suprised at the result.

It's safe to 500 degree Fahrenheit. I have used in the broiler many times w/o a problem as well. A very good pan, probably my favorite!

I have used in my oven at 350 degrees. Can't imagine that it would be a problem higher. After all it is stainless steel.
