About baking stone
Please help me!!!
I have never used the baking stone before, it is not available in my place.
Is there anyway to substitute it??I want to make some of the recipes on TFL , does it matter if i do not use it??Thank you all
And a very good question. All of the recipes here can be made without using a baking stone.

If you can find any terra cotta based large cooking vessel you can use that, perhaps turned upside down to get a large flat surface. Another option is to use a large flat cast iron surface should that me more readily available.

Mini oven,Richelle ,Kosherbaker , halfrice,
you are soooo sweeeet , and very kind , thank you all,
but i still have one question, " what is baking stone for???"
We should donate to produce a book " baking stone for dummies"
it will be very helpfull for me,hahahaha
Thank you all, God bless you all.
Here is a site that can explain it. Look down the page to about the 4th paragraph.
You might have to place a stone onto the lowest rack and not the floor of the oven.
Please note, I and many others do not bake on a stone. But do use a normal baking sheet.
