Designed for serious home chefs and pizza enthusiasts, it offers superior heat retention and transfer, enabling fast cook times and authentic brick oven-quality pizzas. Its large 14x20" surface accommodates two pizzas simultaneously and fits standard ovens, grills, and stovetops. Durable and low maintenance, this steel requires seasoning before use and delivers consistent, restaurant-level results for pizza and bread baking. ## Description The ThermiChef 14x20 Pizza Steel in 3/8" Deluxe is the largest and heaviest steel in the lineup — CNC laser-cut from a single piece of low-carbon steel in Minnesota, with no Teflon, no PFAS, and no coatings that chip or wear off. At 30 lbs, it's designed to sit on your rack for an entire cooking session; the 3/8" thickness stores more heat and recovers faster between pies than thinner steels, making it ideal for hosting, batch cooking, or serious bread baking. The 14x20 surface fits two smaller pizzas side by side or a full sourdough open bake. Preheat at 500°F for 45–60 minutes and cook a pizza in 5–7 minutes. Works in the oven, on the grill, and on the stovetop. Fits standard full-size oven racks. If weight is a concern, the 14x20 in 1/4" thickness (19.2 lbs) offers the same surface area at significantly less weight. Ships shot-blasted; season once before first use with oil at 375°F for one hour. Review: Works wonders for NY Style Pizza at Home! - If you want to make NY style pizza in your home oven, the Thermichef pizza steel is for you - look at that crust - you can't get this with a pizza stone! Just be sure to measure the depth and width of your oven before you select a size. My oven just barely accommodates the 16" X 16" steel Review: 3/8in thick 16x16in baking steel - Crisps the bottom of the pizza wonderfully, and seasoning adheres to the steel quite securely! It is pretty heavy and awkward though. Also, the edges aren't bevelled like I think they should be. Which makes it kind of rough around the edges. It also holds onto heat extremely well. (Kind of the point) But I'm finding it to be overkill, because I don't often throw "pizza parties" with people over. The 1/4in thick one would likely have suited me just fine for heat retention/transference and due to it being thinner and lighter, would rebound quickly anyway. In hindsight, I think I shouldve went with the 1/4 inch thick model. Maybe I will gift this one, and get the 1/4in thick model in the future! We'll see! If you love pizza, this is a fantastic kitchen tool and will improve the crisp of your home made pies a lot! (Works for breads too) It was great, but wasn't IDEAL for me, so it gets a 3 star. But it could be a 4 or 5 for you, so give it a try! ## Features - CRAFTED IN THE USA: We carefully CNC laser cut each pizza plate from a single piece of metal for extreme durability, conductivity, and finish.

It can actually act as a heat sink which will help keep temperatures consistent and controlled when baking things other than pizza. **Q: Can you leave this in the oven and put a pyrex casserole dish on it to bake?** A: Do not put glass on top while in the oven. **Q: How to remove rust?** A: To the person who wrote use steel wool for cast iron that is absolutely 210% incorrect. Even if your cast iron comes preseasoned you need to reseason it with high heat cast iron seasoning oil. After you do this it will be good from day one the very first time you use it. When you cook with cast iron you use a metal spatula that's nice and stiff, scrape everything loose out of the bottom insides of your pan then wipe it out with a paper towel if you still have anything stuck to it you can go back over a little bit more followed by using a stainless steel chainmail scrubber that are made of stainless steel. Never use any kind of liquid to clean cast iron especially something acidic like vinegar which will cut the seasoning out of your pan. When you finish scraping and scrubbing it should be wiped clean using a paper towel. Put a little bit of your high heat cast iron seasoning oil in your pan and wipe it around everywhere inside including the very top edge with a paper towel saturated with a little of your high cast iron seasoning oil. If this is done properly it will look like it's never been used I have a Lodge square cast iron frying pan that is more than 3 years old and you cannot tell that it's ever been used. It looks as good now as the day it was purchased and shows no signs of ever being cooked on even once. Nothing has stuck to it since day one because I reseasoned it doing what I previously stated before using it the first time. I have cast iron pans that are probably 80 years old or more they have nothing sticking on the inside and they look shiny and nice they have never been used in water. Nothing sticks to them. They are dark, nearly black because they're so old, but if you look on the inside there's not a trace of anything stuck to them. Follow my instructions and you won't be sorry. I know what I'm talking about, it works. The worst thing you can do with cast iron is put water anywhere near it, especially vinegar. If you cook sauces that have tomato paste in them they are highly acidic and they take off your seasoning. Make sure you wipe on a liberal coat of your high heat wipe it out immediately after cleaning and cooking. People look at my Lodge frying pan and they cannot believe that it's ever been used it shows no signs of ever being used even once. Please heed my advice and you will never regret it. God Bless Y'all Jimmy in NC.... **Q: Would this work well if I place a Dutch oven on it to bake bread.** A: Place loaf directly on preheated steel. You can then put upside down pre-heated Dutch oven over loaf to capture the humidity/steam of the dough. Bake for 15-20 min then remove the Dutch oven base to allow the loaf to brown. I use a Challenger bread pan (shaped more oblong) with same technique. Great breads come out of this… ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works wonders for NY Style Pizza at Home! *by P***A on 17 January 2025* If you want to make NY style pizza in your home oven, the Thermichef pizza steel is for you - look at that crust - you can't get this with a pizza stone!

It is pretty heavy and awkward though. Also, the edges aren't bevelled like I think they should be. Which makes it kind of rough around the edges. It also holds onto heat extremely well.

Just in the first few days of owning it, I cooked 6 tortillas at once for tacos, browned 3 lbs of chicken in one go, and slowly caramelized 6 onions while keeping other pots and pans free for other tasks. For pizza, its intended use, it produces crisp crusts like a champ, and its size and shape make it perfect for chilling and using as a pastry slab for croissants. It's the ultimate "pan" for cooking for a crowd, and it makes my 12-inch cast iron skillet look small and cramped by comparison. Downsides? It's a thick slab of steel. It is quite heavy and, despite its versatility, it isn't enjoyable to move from oven to stove to fridge to counter all the time. Second, it takes a long, long time to properly heat and cool, which is why I wouldn't want to leave it in the oven permanently. Its heat sink abilities work against you in this way; it takes a lot for this thing to change temperature, and that's good if you're making bread or keeping something cold, but it's also a drag when you're trying to get it up to temp. If I'm using it as a griddle, I'll turn on the burners before I even get out the flour to mix the tortilla dough. Definitely not good for impromptu or short-notice cooking. These downsides come from the same qualities that make this steel so great, so they're not at all surprising. This is a tool that is both versatile and specialized: versatile because its ability to store heat on a large surface is useful in myriad applications, but specialized because that ability to store heat comes with some significant practical drawbacks for everyday cooking. This steel will get you great results for a particular set of tasks, and if you have the ability and luxury to plan ahead, it can't be beat. ## Frequently Bought Together - THERMICHEF by Conductive Cooking Pizza Steel (3/8" Deluxe, 14" x 20" XL) - Made in USA - New Star Foodservice 50295 Restaurant-Grade Wooden Pizza Peel, 16" L x 14" W Plate, with 10" L Wooden Handle, 24" Overall Length - Chef Pomodoro Aluminum Metal Pizza Peel 16 inch with Foldable Wood Handle for Easy Storage, Pizza Spatula Paddle, Gourmet Luxury Pizza Paddle for Baking Homemade Pizza and Artisan Bread (16 x 14 inch) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/510587512-thermichef-14x20-pizza-steel-3-8-thick-30-lbs-cooking](https://www.desertcart.us/products/510587512-thermichef-14x20-pizza-steel-3-8-thick-30-lbs-cooking) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
