Lenny S Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Ordered three so far, one arrived smashed, the other two had large chips missing. Is it worth the trouble, do they really sear that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtemple Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I use mine on occasion. Its' great for what it's for, if that makes sense. I haven't tried any of the cast iron options, so I can't really say how it compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffieBoy Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 My local Lowes and Rona stores are clearing these out at really good prices. Don't know where you are located, but that kind of purchase may be a better idea for your situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallBBQr Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I've looked at the soapstone options over the years, but every time I bring out my 3/8" grilling steel, it chases any thoughts of adding to the accessories pile away. It get's used for so many things, and completely indestructible - just seems a better investement to me. While I have no direct experience to comment on your questions, from any picture/video I have ever seen, the sear on soapstone is no better than from any other searing surface.

JohnnyAppetizer Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I own one. Bought it on sale at Amazon. After initial testing, I still use it. It's not an every day accessory. Four of my friends bought one. One uses his about like I do, one has never been used, one maybe once or twice. I saw a video, The stone stays hot, where other surfaces cool down so when you flip the meat it's not as hot. Of course you could flip and put on another area with those materials. The thing is, if you get pleasure out of using it, you enjoy getting it out and experimenting, it's worth it. Maybe you find a killer method for some particular recipe.

John Setzler Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 It's the best searing surface I have ever used. gemstatejake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 3 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Besides a fork? Absolutely. Just pulled these Dino ribs from one side and brisket burgers on the other. Still smelling like smoke. JohnnyAppetizer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry B 3 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Weight? No idea. That being said, I’m a big eater so two myself and when my sons are around two for each of them. My wife and daughter share one. Hope this helps a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 3 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 We put away a lot of fish and that’s where I find the soapstone most beneficial. Superb for veggies according to the boss of my home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny S Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Ok, I just ordered the forth... I sure hope this one arrives in good condition. No local dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
