coolpapabill Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 What's your impression of it? Does it make your life easier? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolpapabill Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolpapabill Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolpapabill Posted May 3, 2020 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
