Hmm. I thought this stone was great, for the 3 months I used it before it cracked. I was using it to bake bread and pizzas. Used it maybe 2 dozen times, with great success. And yes, was aware of the 'cracking' issue thanks to other reviews on Amazon. So I took extra care with this one. As a baking stone, it does it's job, and this stone was about half the price as a regular baking stone. Well, it's a bargain, or is it? So about 3 months of having this stone,

I could keep using it and just clean each half, but it's pretty stupid to cook with a cracked stone.

I think the real bargain would be to pay the $35 for something that will last. If you're planning on using this baking stone only for the occasional 2x/yr pizza, then by all means. But if you're planning on baking something once a week, the bargain on this one probably won't last.
