$10 Pizza Stone
All the talk about pizza and pizza stones as well as costs, reminded me
I bought my pizza stone thru Walmart for $10 but they no longer carry
them, but I did find them thru Target, see link below,
$10.00 round Pizza stone at Target.

This stone is too thin to do what a stone should. The pizza stone has to
hold the heat after the pizza hits it. This stone doesn't do that. I own
one.

This model is quite small and thin, though. You prefer a stone 1/2
inch thick, minimum. Otherwise, you might as well use quarry tile,
which is cheaper still.

Quarry tile does the job very well - AFAIC.

Good grief! What is it made of that it can't "hold heat"? That's
just BS. IMO, if there were any real problems - it wasn't preheated
long enough.

The stone has to have enough mass to retain enough heat so the surface
temperature does not drop when you put the pizza on it. A preheated cookie
sheet doesn't work because the temp. of the sheet drops instantly when you
place the pizza on it. A thin stone does the same.

I find that if you dress the crust all the way to the edge, the edge
doesn't rise much. Perhaps Peter used a rolling pin, which tends
to make the crust more uniform.

I bought mine at Williams Sonoma many years ago - you pay more but
it's a thick stone, good 15 inch diameter, and has a sturdy detachable
handle.
I learned after a few bad experiences not to go too cheap on cooking
gear which you plan to use for a long time.

Doesn't matter if the pizza stone is a mile thick.
Why does it have to hold heat, do you turn off your oven as soon as
you put your pizza in to bake... actually by using a pizza stone you
may as well. To hear yoose kitchen imbeciles rave on about pizza
stones would almost be humorous if they didn't defy the laws of
physics... no pizza stone gets hotter than the oven temperature, but
as soon as the raw pizza is set on the stone condensation occurs, as
with all bread baking a lot of condensation, a virtual monsoon, cools
the contact area to below the temperature of boiling water, and there
is no way a pizza stone in a residential oven can reheat/recover
quickly enough since the pizza blocks the oven's natural convection,
won't even recoupe temperature in a convection oven because hot air
can't get between the pizza and the stone... the pizza crust bottom
actually stews in its own juices. There is no way to turn a
residential oven into a brick oven... with real brick ovens the flame
is intense and actually licks the underside of the bricks so recovery
is almost instantaneous.... commercial electric pizza ovens have their
powerful elements embedded inside the special compostion fire brick
oven floor, again recovery is pretty fast (using any old stone/floor
tile just adds insult to injury). Home ovens are simply much too
wussy to become a brick oven or a commercial pizza oven no matter how
much stone you pile in. But even pizzarias are now into energy
conservation and so all are going into using *pizza screens*, which
take advantage of any oven's natural convection and work especially
well in modern convection ovens and as many high volume pizza chains
use, conveyer ovens.... the pizza screen permits the pizza to bake
quicker, to bake the crust before the toppings burn. Pizza screens
are available in many sizes and are relatively inexpensive, like $6
each... they last a long time but can get kind of cruddy, not that
germs live in a hot oven but for most home cooks they just look
grungy, and the typical home cook is squeamish even about touching
food, so for home use perforated pizza pans are a much better choice,
they work well on outdoor grills too... and serving your pizza on a
perforated pan instead of a solid pan eliminates the condensation that
occurs, so your pizza crust stays crisp from first bite to last. Pizza
stones are for the dummies who failed junior high scool general
science... the typical guinea pizza tosser never went to any school,
but now they are discovering that pizza screens are a big improvement
even used in real brick ovens, creates an air space beneath the pie so
moisture can escape immediately, the crust actually bakes instead of
stewing. Pizza screens/perforated pans permit baking directly on ones
wire oven rack... perfect convection, zero condensation. For the home
cook the perforated pan/screen eliminates the pizza peel too, no muss,
no fuss... perfect for those frozen pies too... in fact all bread
bakes better on perforated pans, that's why baking supply emporiums
sell so many. Just basic science... as soon as someone says they own
a pizza stone I know I've just met another kitchen imbecile who hasn't
a clue how cook anything other than by babbon ass face see, baboon ass
face do. LOL

Good reply Kent. I would insert the word "significantly" after
"surface temperature does not drop"
As for the Brooklyn's screeching about condensation, doesn't steam
condense only when the temp drops below boiling? (assuming no drastic
changes in ambient pressure :-) This to me would indicate
inadequate thermal mass.
Also, it seems that many successful home tile oven pizza makers crank
the oven temp up as high as possible. Yes, ideally the cooking
equipment will put out the desired amount of heat and quickly
adjustable but when one is BTU limited, then thermal mass is one way
to compensate. For instance, for stir frying, a wok made of thicker
metal, cast iron even! (Lodge makes/made a cast iron wok)
Another way to compensate is by cooking smaller amounts of food. So
perhaps a person making thinner crust pizzas will be happier with the
thinner stone. (or their preheat is 1000 degrees F )

"Screeching", what a great description! I've always thought that when the
undersurface of the pizza dough hits the porous stone[preheated to 500+F
that some steam from the dough is absorbed by the porous stone. This creates
a crisper crust than you would get on another surface, including, I think,
parchament paper. That's all in addition to the benefit of having enough
thermal mass to maintain a more stable temp. as the pizza is baking.

I don't like semolina. It adds something to the pizza that just doesn't
belong there, particularly in this case, with the slight burn. I dust
the top of the wooden peel with flour so the pizza will slide onto the
stone. I've never had any residue. I think it's important to have a good
wooden peel. I buy mine at a local restaurant supply house at very good
prices.
Peter's pizza appears slightly overtopped. I don't like a rolling pin for
the pizza dough. I do use it gently to get the round to 1+ inch thick. Then,
it's by hand with some throwing into the air, depending on how wet the dough
is. This more gentle stretching of the dough gives it a better chewing
texture with some holes in the crust, and the peripheral crust is slightly
more prominent than the center.

Right again!!! You're pretty good Cindy ;-)
I gave up trying to be the 'perfect pizza man' and tossing the dough all
over the place a long time ago...... it's just as easy to roll it out, and
quicker :-)
And over here, only the commercial places (Pizza Hut, Dominos et al) don't
'dress' right to the edge...... because in the long run, they save money
by doing it.
Less toppings = more profit.
My favourite Pizza joint, Pancho's in Bulimba, dress to the edge, and I
have copied their style. Can't quite get their taste right....... which is
why it's still our favourite Pizza joint and we keep going back :-)

It adds absolutely *nothing* to the pizza, and falls off very easily when
the pizza is picked up/moved off the stone.

Your opinion, everyone is different. Just don't expect everyone to conform
to what *you* think is right.
You might go for pizza sauce, a dob of mozzarella and a few basil leaves,
but if that's all I wanted on a pizza, I'd make a toasted cheese sandwich
with tomato sauce on it.
Pizzas in Australia are different to what you get there. Over here, we get
taste, and value for money.

My pizza dough maintains a good texture, and is not "chewy" at all. And it
*never* has holes in it!!

Meaning you don't dress to the edge. Your preference.
Do you spread right to the edge on a sandwich? Or do you put everything in
the middle and eat like that?
