What is the best oven temperature to cook pizza?

'Bout like I said!

We've tried pre baking thin crusts, no color on them. Problem is you have to have plenty of flat freezer space where stuff won't get tossed or sat on them. Thin crusts get brittle upon freezing and break easily.

My freezer has polystyrene boxes in it the keep things neat and stop the freezer icing up (and it’s cheaper to run) so the flat part will be ok. I prefer thin crust with gluten free stuff so I’ll give it a whirl.

Ah thanks, yes thats the other one I read that sounded right. Good to know we’re on the same pages literally

It’s a metal thing for transferring oven heat into a pie (or something similar). The prongs push down into the dish you’re baking.

Priazzos were two-crust pizzas - sort of like a meat pie…but pizza.

ETA - I’ve used one of those gadgets at a Pizza Hut, making my own custom priazzo.

Hmm, priazzo is that a more is more is too much thing?

Looking at the design of the heat sink it's broken already! The "points" have so much less conductive area than the dissipation surface. Looks more like a supportive device than a functional cooking tool...

Lots of people liked it for a good while. There's one kind, they had several with different fillings, that Craig loves, but it's a major production to make.

When you point it out (sorry couldn’t resist ) it is daft but perhaps they were aiming not to damage the pie.

They look it!
I think if I was going in that direction I’d be more likely to go for a meatza.

Well, for something "broken" in your opinion, it does a very good job in getting heat into the middle of something spread out and thick. We tried making a priazzo without one and middle was undercooked, with semi raw dough in the inside top and bottom, and unmelted cheese in the middle. After I finally found one that didn't cost an arm and a leg, used the heat sink, and priazzo cooked all the way through. It conducts heat quite well given that it is solid cast iron.

Yes, but I was going to chew it anyway!

(You got me...)

Poor word choice; appears broken.

You can see the insertion points in the top crust, but everything else just kind of flows together when you pull it out.

It's a b!tch to clean with all those points though!

It looks useful though. Have you used it for anything else?
