coolpapabill Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) I have been given grief , and rightly so , for not posting pictures of cooks done on a custom soapstone made for my KK 23" Ultimate . To my personal shame I was reminded " No pictures , it didn't happen " . Finally here is evidence of the existence of the said stone and my some what limited cooking ability. I humbly request everyone's forgiveness . The Maillard reaction was fantastic. Edited May 1, 2020 by coolpapabill 13
MacKenzie Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 Niiiiiice, and what a fine job you did on the steak and veggies. 1
Tyrus Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 What's your impression of it? Does it make your life easier? 1
coolpapabill Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Posted May 1, 2020 I like it a lot . I don't know if it makes my life easier , but certainly a lot of fun. Dome temp was 500* and the stone was close to 600* . Was still very warm next morning. 3
Basher Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 Nothing wrong with that cook coolpapa.I’d eat that any day.So the soapstone with direct heat under it transfers more heat that the dome.Why would people use this as a pizza stone? Maybe I’ve missed something?Does it take long to heat up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Basher Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 I’ve been living under a rock.... for centuries it appears after reading this.https://www.soapstonepizzastones.com/?page_id=100If that rock was soapstone,( I’m shaking my head in disbelief), then I’m living in “Acres of Diamonds” anyone read this book? It’s a great short story.If you haven’t.https://www.lyricsvibrations.com/2019/10/14/acres-of-diamonds-a-short-motivational-or-inspirational-story/Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
coolpapabill Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Posted May 1, 2020 Basher , I also have a one that is a pizza stone ( 16" diameter ) . They do take a very long time to heat up . That is why I've been using a Baking Steel for pizza . With excellent results . 2
Bruce Pearson Posted May 1, 2020 Report Posted May 1, 2020 Soap stone or not that cook is making me very hungry! My mouth is watering at that plated photo can almost taste it yum yum yum 1 1
tekobo Posted May 3, 2020 Report Posted May 3, 2020 Really good to see the soapstone performing so well for you @coolpapabill. I never thought that would be a "thing" but it turns out it's a very good thing. 1
coolpapabill Posted May 3, 2020 Author Report Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Went to a local custom countertop company and they cut it off a piece of scrap. Cut to size edge and top ground smooth and polished two pieces for $50. Edited May 3, 2020 by coolpapabill 3
