I was looking at a 1/2 inch baking steel from Etsy, but I’m wondering if it might be too heavy for the Anova oven. Do you think it might damage the oven? I can’t find the weight, but it must be twice the weight of the one from bakingsteel.com.
I just found out that the 1/2" baking steel weighs about 27 pounds. From what I’ve read, the 1/2" steel bakes pizza in 3 minutes rather than 7 minutes and can bake many pizzas without needing to reheat. Another interesting point I read is that “faster bake = more oven spring = puffier crust = better pizza.”
I contacted Anova, and they said that the 1/2" baking steel would not damage the oven.
