I have a customer who asked if I had more recipes she could use with her Small Round Stone. What do you use it the most for? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I mostly use mine for reheating leftovers, both in microwave & oven. I also like to make a 'mini ring' if it's just for hubby & I--use one pkg cresents & half the filling.
 
My kids use it all the time for those little frozen pizzas. I have one of those bigger toaster ovens that makes a rotisserie chicken, and the small stone fits in it real well. You could suggest to your customer that they are great for making individual pizzas when everyone likes to make their own. They are great for nachos. You could make tortillas and then put them on the hot stone to keep them warm.

Hey, no problem! I used to make this on the small bar pan, but the small round works much better;)
