Anyone got/uses a pizza stone?
Or are they another 'mug's game' item that is entirely unnecessary.

You cook pizzas on them in the oven. Basically a stone disc.
Supposedly makes them cook better.

Of course its'a mugs game
Your better off cooking pizzas on the shelf not a baking tray so the hot air can get to the base.

that's why you have a stone, you heat it up in the oven first and it cooks the pizza from the bottom more effectively than air
because air, as we all know, is a shit conductor of heat.

That's cleary more inefficient as you have to heat a fucking stone up using HOT AIR from your oven
before if cooks your pizza. If you have a fan oven, which you will do if you're not a total kitchen spastic, then it's a fucking waste of time.

Metal is a better conductor of heat than stone
if that were true, a baking tray would be better still. It isn't.

The claim for them is that they absorb moisture and thus give a crispy base.

So does using the grill tray
As any moisture just falls off the pizza.

Stone is well known for its absorptive properties.
They're practically sponges.

They are ceramic on the whole
But even if they weren't, surely even in your dismal French upbringing you must have encountered porous rocks like chalk, limestone, sandstone, pumice etc?

No?
