Black Rock Grill Volcanic Lava Pizza Stone for Effeuno P134H & P134HA (395 x 345 x 25mm)
Crafted from authentic, food-safe certified volcanic rock quarried directly from Mount Etna in Sicily, this 395 x 345mm baking slab brings raw volcanic heat retention to compact electric pizza ovens. Precision-cut to directly fit the Effeuno P134H and P134HA decks, this heavy-duty basalt stone delivers unrivalled thermal performance for demanding home pizzaiolos and artisan bakeries.
At a full 25mm thickness, the natural porous basalt wicks away dough steam on contact, producing a blistered, crisp bottom crust without scorching. Unlike delicate terracotta or clay stones that chip, flake, or degrade from fat and oil drips, volcanic lava rock offers exceptional structural durability. It serves as an ultra-durable biscotto alternative and refractory stone replacement, handling extreme heat effortlessly, staying hot across back-to-back bakes, and accommodating heavy cast-iron pans or direct high-heat roasting without cracking.

Care & Maintenance
- No Soap or Chemicals: Volcanic rock is porous—never use detergents, as absorbed soap spoils future bakes.
- Easy Pyrolysis Cleaning: Burn off food residue at maximum temperature for 20 minutes, then scrape away ash once cool.
- Cool Before Rinsing: Avoid thermal shock by allowing the stone to cool completely before using warm water.
- Natural Seasoning: Staining and colour darkening are normal, building an authentic, non-stick patina over time.
