Can't Help Myself

[martin1950]

Dog gone it! My latest purchase only goes to prove I can't go shopping without adult supervision. Pro's or con's?

I've been eye-balling one of those. Really got into pizza on the Akorn this summer. Curious how it works for you. Enjoy!

Christmas is in 8 days... Plenty of time to get one and put it under the tree... addressed to you ...

I like that . No lip , or looks like it's flat . My Son has the one with the edges .

I put it in the oven an hour ahead so it heats up . They work good .

Heck, I'm still trying to figure out what to get the Mrs.
Maybe she secretly wants a CI Pizza pan....

How can there be any cons with pizza, if ya need taste testers just let us know

 

[JLeonard]

Yeah I been eyeballing the Lodge loaf pans to make bread in.....I feel myself weakening. Maybe I can hold out and see if the kids take the hint or not. Let us know how the pizza pan works out for you!

I should add that we have one also and really like it. But sometimes forget we even have it.

I think it will be great! We use a pizza stone. The key is to pre-heat the stone/pan in the oven. Build your pizza on parchment paper, then slide it onto the hot pan, paper and all. That way, it just slides right off.

If it comes time for leftovers, and I say if, reheat the pan in the oven, and when hot, put the leftover pizza back on the pan. The crust comes out nice and crispy, not soft and squishy.

Nice score , it would also be good because of no lip, to make crepes on also

But that's just me, did I say I like desserts a lot. lol

I did not even think of using the parchment paper, we usually build it in the 500 degree wood oven with bbq gloves.

I saw a stack of these at TJ Maxx last week. Almost grabbed one. I ended up grabbing two Lodge mini frying pans though lol.

I have two of these, I actually prefer the lipped version over the flat one. I use it to broil steaks and bake bread, along with making pizza. The lip is key in my opinion, so grease doesn't drip into the oven when doing veggies, meat or when launching or removing pizza from it. They are great for making homemade tortillas as well on the stove.

Now you went and done it. Amazon had a 14" for $18. Done deal

I use it to broil steaks and bake bread,

I agree . Never used it for that , but have had the thought . Need to make that happen .

Now that I have a Ooni. I have one of those buried in the kitchen somewhere. They do work well. Just remember to preheat it first. And use a peel to launch the ready pizza on it. Don't put the crust on it first and build the pizza on it.

 

[chopsaw]

Don't put the crust on it first and build the pizza on it.

I use non stick foil or parchment . When the crust sets I pull the foil or paper out .
Sometimes I'll give the pan a pre heat on the stove top , then into the oven for an hour .

Yup. I've done that before as well. It does make things easier. Or, I use some corn meal on my peel to make it slide better. I was saying not to build the pizza on the CI. Have it prebuilt. Then put on the CI so it stays good and hot.
