“The Unconventional Tool that Makes Perfect Pizza on the Joe Jr: Why Traditional Pizza Stones Are Outdated”
Our Opinion
Are you a proud owner of a Joe Jr kamado grill and looking to elevate your pizza-making game? Well, we hate to break it to you, but the best pizza stone for your Joe Jr may not actually be a pizza stone at all. As much as we love a good old pizza stone, there are actually better options out there that can take your pizza-making experience to the next level.
First off, let’s talk about the limitations of a traditional pizza stone. While they do a decent job of distributing heat and creating a crispy crust, they can be a pain to clean and can easily crack or break. Plus, they take up valuable space in your grill and can be a hassle to transport.
Instead, we recommend investing in a cast iron skillet or a pizza steel. These alternatives not only provide a more even distribution of heat but also have a shorter preheating time, resulting in a quicker and more efficient cooking process. Plus, they are virtually indestructible and easy to clean, making them a much more practical option for your Joe Jr.
Additionally, a cast iron skillet or pizza steel can be used for a variety of other dishes, such as searing steaks, baking bread, and even making pancakes. Talk about versatility!
So, if you’re looking to up your pizza game and make the most out of your Joe Jr grill, consider ditching the traditional pizza stone and opting for a cast iron skillet or pizza steel instead. Your taste buds (and your stomach) will thank you.
