It does what it promises and more importantly will never break (besides your fingers if you're clumsy.)

What a stone can't do is step in as a griddle for burgers and such on an outdoor grill. I think I do more meat than pizza on my pizza steel.

Yeah, I use mine as a griddle on my gas cooktop. It's really nice as a simmer plate as you can get the sauce or braise away from the burner and slow simmer.
