Unglazed so you aren't sucking fumes when the glazing burns off
Ceramic tiles are kiln fired for 20 hours at 2500° F........Do you think the glazing is going to burn off at a 350° for 45 minutes?
BTW......Ceramic glaze is powdered silica sand......AKA....glass.....I don't think I've ever had a Pyrex glass dish burn away in my oven belching toxic fumes....
That's true. The reason for unglazed baking stones is that theoretically they hold moisture and do a better job of browning and producing a nice crust.
I haven't been able to detect the difference in baking yeast products on the cast iron. They are now pushing baking steels which hints that any mass that is capable of holding heat and therefore stabilizing the temperature might work.
I can't comment on the stone/cookie outcome however.
