Baking Steel - DIY ideas?

[Great-Kazoo]

Sorry, been sporadic on the forums, so just saw people posting here.

If they cut it with laser, they upgraded me for free, twice. I was told laser would be much more expensive.

Mill scale is pretty biologically inactive, and the seasoning keeps the food away in any case. I’ll play with removing it sometime, but so far haven’t found reason to care.

People have been enjoying their steels for a couple years now. Guess I’ll get another batch going.

PM me a price for one shipped to Az. Will it fit in the large flat rate box?

Good steel is hard to beat for cooking. It takes a little longer to heat up but it always gets better with age. I've made a few pizza plates out of stainless and mild steel, and both work great. My favorite is my Wok that I made from an old plow disc. They season extremely well and can straight up cook a big batch of fajitas, and clean up is a breeze.

I'd call that more of a cazo.

I'll take one steel plate if you do an order.

Just so everyone pay attention that price was 3 years ago, steel is more expensive now as are dencols prices. I just bought a bunch of steel there after almost 2 years since my last big purchase and was a little surprised at the increase.

Agreed. Raw steel has gone up a lot. Dencol has also raised some of their service prices.

My usual 6k+ lb orders for raw steel have gone up over $1000 in the last year.

I don't have laser cutting, but I do have a plasma table, but if there is interest in enough of these to cut up a whole 4x8 sheet, I will price them out for folks. They won't be quite as clean of an edge, but they will work.
