Emile Henry Review and GIVEAWAY!! **ENDED**

Emile Henry  is a French company that has gained a worldwide following because of their high quality ceramic ovenware, gourmet cooking products, and bakeware products.  One of their newest products, the Pizza Stone, was released in June 2010 and I had the opportunity to review it!

From the company:

The Pizza Stone is designed to make brick-oven style pizzas in home ovens and on backyard grills. Made in France of Flame-Top technology, this 14inch ceramic round stone absorbs moisture from the pizza dough while distributing heat evenly throughout the pie. The result is evenly cooked pizza dough that doesn't burn on the bottom before the toppings have cooked. Unlike other pizza stones, this one is glazed so that it is easy to clean leaving no food, stain or odors. The Flame-Top Pizza Stone, made of a proprietary flameproof ceramic, is the first Pizza Stone of its kind available on the market today.

I have never owned a pizza stone before so I was eager to give it a try. We rarely make pizzas at home because our pans do not hold enough pizza for a family of four and it was difficult to disassemble or make the pizzas so they would fit on regular baking sheets.  The Pizza Stone made it so much easier! It heats up quickly (15-20 minutes) decreasing the baking time. It baked the pizza evenly and I was able to cut the pizza right on the stone, so I did not have to worry about transferring it to another surface. The clean up was very easy as well.  Another bonus, the Pizza Stone is made from all natural materials! My experience with the Pizza Stone was nothing but positive and I would highly recommend this for your home (or for a great Christmas gift for someone else). 

Buy it here:  The Pizza Stone retails for $50 and will be available in stores in July 2010. It is available in black, red, figue and olive colors.  It can be purchased from the Emile Henry website, Amazon, and from a variety of other online and retail stores.

Win it here: One lucky Cake Mom is going to win an Emile Henry Pizza Stone!!
