With the pizza stone from Dimono, you get a perfectly crispy dough thanks to the high-quality cordierite material. Thanks to this high-quality pizza stone, you can now bake pizza in your ownoven with the same inimitable quality as at the Italian restaurant. The product also impresses with its use of materials and packaging. Dimono uses a very high-quality cordierite stone with unique thermal properties. The pores of the cordierite stone are larger than those of fireclay and can therefore absorb more moisture, making the dough even crispier. Thanks to the coating on the surface , the bread stone is much easier to clean and discoloration is less likely to occur. The ingredients for pizza dough contain a lot of moisture. A standard tray cannot absorb or soak up this moisture . Thanks to the moisture-absorbing properties , the moisture can be removed from the dough, making it soft and shapeless. This results in a crispy base on the Cordierit natural stone, which nevertheless remains light and fluffy. In summary, this is a very high-quality product. The pizza stone can be used not only to bake pizza, but also bread or vegetables.
