Frank, we'd love to help with all your questions. First, we have a sourdough pizza crust recipe which you might like to try, or you can read about how to add sourdough into this recipe in the article on our blog.

As for your question about seasoning the Baking Steel, we have full care and storage tips on the product page here. We recommend brushing the Baking Steel with vegetable oil using a paper towel and then baking it in a 375deg;F to 400°F oven for 1 hour and then letting it cool in the turned off oven for 1 hour. While we haven't done a side-by-side comparison between this heavy-duty steel plate and a stainless steel plate, we would imagine that if all other factors were the same, you could expect a similarly effective heat transfer. Hope that helps! Kye@KAF
