If you are passionate about homemade pizza, you have probably already invested in a good oven, perhaps an Ooni, Effeuno or Ariete model. But then why settle for a griddle that is not on the same level?

Cordierite plates are widespread, but they often represent a bottleneck in your oven’s performance. The ideal solution? Replace it with an Etna lava stone plate.

Lava stone has a superior heat capacity compared with cordierite. This means that. stores heat more stably and keeps it longer during cooking.

“Since I installed the Cuore Lavico plate in my Ooni oven, I can bake many pizzas in a row without having to wait for the stone to come back up to temperature. With the cordierite one, I had to wait a long time between pizzas.”
