The 4-piece pizza set from VINENCO was put through its paces in a practical test and demonstrated impressive properties. The pizza stone made of cordierite proved to be robust and heat-resistant, easily withstood temperatures of up to 300°C and ensured even heat distribution during baking. The accessories, consisting of a stainless steel shovel and a pizza cutter, proved to be user-friendly. It was found that, with a little practice, the pizza could be pushed in and out effortlessly with the shovel. The pizza cutter cut the crispy dough precisely and efficiently. The baking results of the pizza stone were consistently positive. The stone absorbed excess moisture from the dough, resulting in a crispy base and an evenly baked crust . The pizza was juicy and the topping was evenly baked. The stone was also ideal for preparing tarte flambée and focaccia. The pizza stone fitted easily into various types of ovens, including standard ovens, gas grills and charcoal grills. Its rectangular shape and compact dimensions made it versatile and easy to place and remove from the oven. Cleaning the pizza stone proved to be uncomplicated. After cooling, the stone could be easily cleaned of residues with a spatula and a damp cloth. The stone did become slightly discoloured due to burnt-on food residue, but this had no effect on the quality and taste of the prepared pizza.
Overall, the 4-piece pizza stone set from VINENCO offers a high-quality solution for amateur chefs and pizza lovers. The workmanship, handling and baking results met expectations and the set proved to be a valuable addition to the kitchen and barbecue.

On the other hand, the excellent baking results and the high-quality accessories are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that although the scoop requires some practice and the stone shows slight discolouration after cleaning, it still achieves very good baking results in domestic ovens and baking is very easy thanks to the high-quality accessories.
