About Baking Steel
Baking Steel is a Grand Rapids, Michigan, company that makes pizza steels: flat slabs of low-carbon steel used in a home oven or on a grill. Andris Lagsdin made the first one in 2012 at Stoughton Steel, his family's fabrication shop in Hanover, Massachusetts, and launched it on Kickstarter that year. The brand says every steel is still made in that shop.
According to its own history page, Baking Steel split off from Stoughton Steel to become a separate company in 2018.
What Baking Steel sells
- Pizza steels: the Original (16 x 14 inches, 1/4 inch thick, 15 lb), the Pro (16 x 16 inches, 3/8 inch, 27 lb), the wider Plus (15 x 20 inches, 22 lb) and a Modernist Cuisine special edition
- Griddles for cooking on the stovetop
- A pizza dough mix packaged as a 72-hour recipe in a bag
- Accessories such as a 14-inch cherry wood pizza peel and pumice cleaning bricks, plus bundled pizza kits
The FAQ says each steel arrives pre-seasoned with organic flaxseed oil baked on in a commercial oven, and the brand recommends a one-hour preheat at 500°F. It also says the steels can go on gas or charcoal grills and over fire pits, provided the whole slab is supported so the middle cannot sag. Subscribers to the mailing list can join free live pizza classes on Zoom.
Delivery and returns
Baking Steel's shipping policy says shipping is free on every order within the contiguous US. Orders go out within 48 hours and normally arrive within 7 days, with tracking. The store also ships abroad, and the policy warns that taxes and tariffs may apply to international orders.
Unused steels in their original packaging can be sent back within 30 days of arrival on a prepaid label, so the customer pays nothing for return shipping. Custom-size steels and international orders cannot be returned, and a steel that has been heated is not accepted back as new. Every steel carries a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use; thermal shock, warping from open flame, outdoor storage, commercial use and cosmetic rust or patina are excluded.
