Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chicago Metallic 69124 Professional Deep Dish Pizza Pan
Customer Review: Pizza restaurant quality pan
Summary: 5 Stars
I want to let people know what an awesome pizza pan this is. The first pizza I ever made in this pan slide out with no effort to get it out and my neighbors confirmed it was the best pizza they have ever had and they loved the crust! I worked in a Greek pizza place when I was growing up and the pizza's that I am making at home are almost as good as what my old boss used to make, thanks largly in part to this pan. Keep in mind though that I make my own dough from scratch and my own sauce using a can of crushed tomatoes so I can't say that if you buy store bought dough or sauce, you will have great results but what I can say is that if you put some good olive oil on the surface of the pan (DO NOT USE NON-STICK SPRAY), preheat your oven with a GOOD QUALITY pizza stone for at least a half hour (I set my oven at 450), you should get a good crust no matter what you use.Customer Review: Tried Twice - Burnt Crust Both Times
Summary: 1 Stars
I had high hopes for this product given the other reviews but my experience wasn't the same. I tried a great recipe out of the "The Great Chicago-Style Pizza Cookbook." I followed the directions to the letter and the result was disappointing - the bottom of the crust was burnt to a crisp. After working all day long to make the dough and sauce, I was really disappointed.
I decided to give it another try the next day. I only had a little dough left over so I had to make the pizza in one of our cake pans. It was perfect. One of the best deep dish pizzas I had ever had. The crust was perfect.
A few weeks later, I tried again using this product with the same results. The bottom of the crust was burnt to a crisp.
I am going to stick with my cake pan and get rid of this pizza pan.
Customer Review: Try it with a pizza stone
Summary: 4 Stars
14 inches is one big deep dish pizza pan! (I guess this is the "standard" size for Chicago-style pizza, though.) At this size, it's a good thing it's so sturdy. My boyfriend and I make pizza every Sunday for his family and we started out with one of these pans and liked it enough that we got a second one so we can make two types of pizza and have leftovers.
I'm a little worried about damaging the nonstick finish when cutting the pizza. We got a special pizza cutter but still...if you're going to grease your pan and throw a little cornmeal in it, do you really need the nonstick surface?
It does cook evenly, however, we couldn't keep from overcooking the bottom of the crust until we started using a pizza stone under this pan and preheating the oven for at least an hour, then it was perfect!
Customer Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I registered at Bed Bath and Beyond for this pan, but it's the same pan (although the price at Bed Bath and Beyond is better, I have to say). And it's absolutely fantastic! I've been married almost two years and so I've had the pan for almost two years, and I have YET to see a ding or scratch on it. I've used it for over a hundred pizzas and it cooks marvelously, and cools to the touch quickly, so less risk of burning. I absolutely recommend this pan. Even if you're not planning a "deep dish" pizza, it's versatile enough to hold a thin crust or regular crust, and the sides are fantastic for shaping a rising crust pizza.Customer Review: Deep Dish Pan
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked for this deep dish pizza pan at many stores and could not find one. I really don't like buying things like this without looking at it and feeling the weight of the pan and how its been manufactured. This may seem odd but it helps me determine it I like the product. I was not disappointed when I received the pan. It is heavy enough to take years of cutting pizza and the teflon coating will last for years as well. I will enjoy cooking pizza in this pan for many years to come.
Thanks for a great product Chicago Metallic.
