How much would you pay for a granite baking board like this?
My dad has a granite counter business and he has a lot of excess stone that he throws out. I have found a few ways to take advantage of the remnant pieces. Being an amateur pizza maker/enthusiast, I cut a rectangular piece to bake pizzas in my convection oven. The results were great! The crust was nice and brown with a crunchy rim and chewy center. Why hadn't I thought of this before? The stone is smooth on one side(making it easy to knead dough) and rough on the other side(perfect as a bread baking surface). If you like baking bread or making pizza, this is a decent alternative to using a brick oven. As with any ceramic pizza stone, you are always going to have burned grease marks that penetrate the stone. Other than that, it is easy to clean with a wire brush. Any way, I'd like to hear from you guys. What price would you pay for a custom sized baking slab?

I would think $80 for a 12" x 12" stone would be easy to get. The Pampered Chef stone I used a long time ago ran $60 and was 18" round. It cracked on its 3rd pizza. Now I use patio stones from Wal-Mart, or a garden center. They're usually 12"x12", but sometimes come 18"x18" and run $2 - $10 and I don't feel the least bit sad if one cracks. That being said, I've never had my $4 patio stone crack and it's cooked over 70 pizzas!
