GOURMEO

Origin and positioning

GOURMEO is a German kitchenware brand founded in 2016 (gourmeo.de), focused on functional, honestly priced cooking tools. It isn't a ceramic specialist or a kamado maker; its ground is value kitchenware: a solid product without the brand premium of kamado-specific accessories.

Our take

The reason we list it is its round 35 cm cordierite pizza stone, also offered in 30 cm. Cordierite is exactly the material we look for: a refractory stone that can take the thermal shock of a hot kamado and spread heat across the base for a crisp crust. Here GOURMEO offers real cordierite at a contained price — which is precisely its buying argument against specialist-brand stones.

The honest caveat: with pizza stones, price usually tracks the thickness and quality of the cordierite, which drive thermal inertia and crack resistance under heavy use. Based on the specs and the user community, GOURMEO's is a sensible entry option; for anyone baking pizza week after week at 400 °C in a kamado like our Big Green Egg Large, a thicker stone will give a more stable base — but it will also cost more.

Who it's for

For anyone wanting to start baking kamado or oven pizza without overspending. The round 35 cm format fits medium-to-large ceramic grills and home ovens well. Always check that the diameter leaves clearance around your kamado's plate setter so air can circulate.
