Black Rock Grill Volcanic Lava Pizza Stone for Effeuno P150H & P150HA (500 x 500 x 20mm)

Crafted from authentic, food-safe certified volcanic rock quarried directly from Mount Etna in Sicily, this XL 500 x 500mm baking slab brings raw volcanic baking power to high-performance electric pizza ovens. Precision-cut to directly fit the Effeuno P150H and P150HA decks, this 14.5kg heavy-duty stone delivers unrivalled heat capacity for demanding home pizzaiolos and commercial kitchens alike.

At a solid 20mm thickness, the natural porous basalt wicks away dough steam on contact, producing a blistered, crisp bottom crust without scorching. Unlike delicate clay stones that chip, flake, or degrade from grease drips, 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.

Key Features & Benefits

• Authentic Mount Etna Basalt: 100% natural, food-safe certified volcanic rock sourced directly from Sicily, offering traditional Italian stone-cooking performance.
• Massive Thermal Storage: Weighing 14.5kg with a full 20mm profile, this slab holds immense heat mass to keep deck temperatures steady during rapid, back-to-back launches.
• Superior Steam-Wicking Crusts: Micro-porous natural structure instantly pulls steam out of wet dough to prevent soggy bases and deliver a crisp, blistered Neapolitan crust.
• Precision Effeuno Fit: Tailored specifically to replace or upgrade 500 x 500mm decks in Effeuno P150H, P150HA, and equivalent commercial or custom deck ovens.
• Durable Biscotto & Clay Alternative: Stronger, cleaner, and more resilient than fragile terracotta or clay boards; resists flaking, dust, and damage from fat/oil drips.

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.
