Let me know when you have some room to fill.
I have to experiment because I think it's messing up oven temps when cooking other stuff.
Let's say you have an electric oven, the steel is on the oven floor (the element is below the floor)... do you think that steel would rob the chamber of heat? I didn't think so I thought it would even help... but some baking has proven otherwise...
I want to keep my steel in my oven. I've moved it to a rack. The Baking Steel company says keeping in oven at all times is fine, but will reduce cooking times... I experienced the opposite. Perhaps the placement of it on the floor meant it absorbed all that heat, I dunno.

I'll try your sauce, I do have room now...
PM me your details, and I'll get something organized this week.
I leave many cast iron pans in my oven. I've found the cooking time is increased and I need to adjust the oven temp up a bit. Also, I let the oven heat up for an hour before baking/cooking. It takes time to get that iron hot. Once it is hot, it evens out the oven temps a bit and I think I get more consisting baking/cooking. Did the same thing when I left a pizza stone in the oven all the time. YMMV.

the oven thermostat will tell you the air temp of the oven has reached temp long before your oven is actually heated properly, even without extra thermal mass.
I am not sure how long a baking steel takes to heat, but IR thermo would let you know when it is.
If you put something before it is fully up to temp, I can see how things could take longer.

Those don't go in the oven silly. They go in the sauce pan.
They do that down under of course.
WTH is goin' on here Margot?

Yea why would someone do that? With just one picture on the left of the corner, it is totally unbalanced. Definitely needs artwork on the right side of the corner also.MikeUSMC said:
