Artestia Extra Large Lava Stone for Cooking Steak, Hot Stone Plates Tabletop Grill, Sizzling Stone Grill Cooking Platter for Meat, BBQ Lava Steak Stones with Bamboo Platter (13.66"*8.93")

We are loving these. I ordered 2, one for my husband and myself. I ordered the larger one and I am glad. We add mushrooms, pineapple etc with our steak and there is room.You have to wait til they cool down to soak and use brush to clean. Make sure you buy the gloves to take out of oven, the regular pot holders are not good enough.Our steaks are more tender also

The stone was almost half inch thinner than what is advertised. It worked well at first, by the end of the meal it was taking forever to cook anything because it had lost too much heat... because it's too thin.

I love them

I was very nervous about ordering this especially after reading the other reviews on here. But I realized that everyone's oven is different and depending on even the altitude of where your oven is in your house can affect what temperature it needs to be so honestly I just cranked the oven up all the way and did it for 50 minutes rather than 40 minutes and the stone was just as hot as it needed to be. It was easily able to cook the steak that I had. The steak taste fantastic and I was able to get it a good medium rare like I like. It was super fun to cook with and super neat to try out. Another complaint I had saw was the little Granite holes in it but honestly if you have a nice hot sink and a good sprayer you just simply soap it up and use a good cleaning cloth to get the soap in all of the pores and then spray it out with scalding hot water and you're good to go. I did not have any issue. It did everything that it was supposed to do, and the size is super nice for putting it up on top of the stove and cooking with it. Overall I think the quality is really good and I think it's definitely an excellent value for your money. You may have to try different things if your oven is not the strongest.

This is a cool product but you have to know what it can't do, like any other cooking method. Will it cook thick ribeyes right out of the fridge? No, not really. We have found the best way to use it is partially cook the steak on the grill or in a cast iron pan, then finish and serve it on this rock. Sizzling meat on the table tends to impress guests, and it will keep everything warm through the meal. It is porous though, so cleaning isn't incredibly simple.

Don’t worry the tiny crack isn’t my concern.How could I possibly clean this thoroughly as many of these openings are over 1/4” deep. Yes I do understand I could just get ilthe stone hot again and “kill” everything but the thought of food particles hiding in tiny crevices seems disgusting to me!Unless I get an answer I’m comfortable accepting, I will be sending this one back. TIA

This item absolutely DOES NOT WORK. I bought three sets for our holiday dinner. I followed the instructions exactly (500 in the oven for 40 minutes) and the stones were hot enough to cook on for LESS THAN three minutes. We each literally had ONE BITE and I could place my fingertips on them after 4-5 minutes. I cleaned them, tried heating them for 50 minutes and had the exact same results with all three sets. Not only was my holiday dinner completely ruined, I now have to deal with the hassle of returning them and a disappointed son who was so excited for these.DO NOT PURCHASE. THEY ARE DEFECTIVE.
