Can you use pizza cuters on this steel? Will it damage it in anyway like if it has a teflon coating?

I use the baking steel in the oven and remove the pizza or whatever baked good I'm making when done. There is no Teflon coating, still it would likely be scratched if using a cutter that is metal.

No Teflon coating. I use it in a restaurant and scrub it with steel wool every night and it's as good as new.

You can but it will dull your pizza cutter. I transfer it to a board to cut

It should not be used for temperatures above 400F, which includes broiling. Usually when you use a pizza stone, you're going above that temperature, but if for some reason you're doing lower then you should be fine.

If using in oven, most ovens only go to 550 if lucky. But since this is a Chicago style pizza pan, you would cook it longer and lower temps, in the 400s. As long as you put some oil on the pan, it will be fine and won't stick.

I've touched mine to my pizza steel with my oven at max temp. I think it should be fine to use provided it isn't there for any length of time.

Nope. This is steel only. Ended up buying two to whip up crepes twice as fast. Initially there's a bit of industrial oil on there that you need to wash off first. It's there to keep it from showing up with any rust. You'll soon develop your own non-stick patina surface. Make sure you care for it properly.

Cast iron is great for pizza. We use it on our grill, preheated to 650 degrees. Works great. Makes a crispy crust. Oil the pan with paper towel and dust with cornmeal or semolina flour before placing dough in pan.

I use acrylic tongs in this bucket. I think steel tongs would detract from its clean lines and would definitely scratch it

I use mine strictly as a heat deflector but you can cook on it by removing the grate. I bought a bigger stone for pizza.

Yes. I have heavily used mine for about 2 years and the Teflon coating is now starting to chip off but only slightly.

I would not recommend using metal utensils. The teflon lining is delicate and metal will wear it down causing the loss of the coating. Wooden and plastic is your best bet.

Pizza should always be cut on a cutting board. Many nonstick coatings can withstand a few accidental uses of a metal spoon or spatula; none can withstand cutting.

If you mean something like a George Foreman grill than no. It would scratch the Teflon terribly.

I've used it over my BBQ and measured the temp with my infrared thermometer at 900 degrees. The pan suffered no damage whatsoever, but the pizza was toast :-D. I've also preheated it in a 550 degree oven and got the pan to reach over 600 degrees dozens of times. No issues of any kind. I've since moved on to 1/2" thick A36 steel for baking pizzas just to get more thermal mass and heat transfer, but cast iron does fine if you know how to work with it.

I have an aluminum peel with wood handle and use it to slide my pizza or bread dough from peel to steel and visa versa. The baking steel can get some scratches from use but it has no effect on the sheet as it is only cosmetic.

No I would not recommend use it on pizza it is a foam it would make it soggy and this pepper spray ment for self defense purposes I recommend you watch the videos on YouTube type in cold steel pepper spray

I have some All Clad LTD pans that have the anodized black coating on the exterior and stainless interior. All Clad advised using Bar Keepers Friend on the stainless ONLY . . .NOT on the anodized aluminum exterior. So I would say no. I wouldn't use it on the Teflon either.

I am not 100% sure but I would say there is possibility on Teflon coating as this help to prevent heat resistant for plastic! I can double check my manual when I am home I you want! FYI I have one and got 2 more as gift to friends and we all love it as it is so convenient!
