Before You Go

Baking Steels For Making The Perfect Pies
The Original Baking Steel(01 of06)
Open Image Modal
This U.S.-made, virtually indestructible baking steel measures 16 inches by 14.25 inches and weighs a hefty 16 pounds. It can be used in home ovens and over grills and campfires. It comes pre-seasoned and was developed by a man whose family has been in the steel business for more than 40 years.

Get it from The Original Baking Steel for $119.

NerdChef Steel Stone(02 of06)
Open Image Modal
The two holes at the corners of this baking steel make it easier to handle as youre moving it in and out of the oven. It measures 14.5 inches by 16 inches and is a quarter-inch thick. The NerdChef Steel Stone boasts a low-friction surface thats textured, sanded smooth and pre-seasoned with flaxseed oil.

Get it from Amazon for $109.99.

De Buyer Blue Steel Pizza Pan(03 of06)
Open Image Modal
This round pan comes in three sizes and a perforated option for each size, and can be used for pizza (for a crispy, perfectly golden crust), tarts, roasted vegetables, pie and more. Its made of 100% blue steel, which gets darker and more nonstick with every use. For an extra crispy pizza crust, go for the perforated version, but the non-perforated pan has more versatile applications.

Get it from Food52 from $24.95 to $34.95.

Sur La Table Baking Steel(04 of06)
Open Image Modal
A Sur La Table exclusive, this baking steel is made of 100% recycled steel and is heat-safe up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, which is much more than youll need for baking pie crust, but still impressive. The manufacturer claims the quarter-inch steel wont shatter or crack, and its easy to clean up with some gentle soap and warm water.

Get it from Sur La Table for $99.99.

These (and the next set, too) are similar to the pans that Baldwin suggests using with baking steels.
