Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sassafras Deep Dish Pizza and Pie Baker
Customer Review: Not the Same Stone
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had 3 stones like this that I bought at a store - I loved them, but they eventually break due to my own fault. Since I could not find it in the store anymore, I ordered it online. Disappointingly, it came in a plain brown box like bulk packaging and the stone did not look near the quality of the old one. I did not try it however, and sent it straight back. The Sassafras stones used to come in a nice box etc. - the way this was packaged make me think they just sold their name to someone who markets it cheaply through Amazon. Also, no longer made in the U.S. and with concerns about lead etc. in pottery made me question the source of the clay in this whole strange arrangement.Customer Review: For the product quality, Id rate high, but for Chicigo pizza, you need cast iron.
Summary: 3 Stars
Great product as far as being the best it can be. And mind you still a useful pan, good for pies.
However, my personal opinion is that nothing comes close to an old, thin, seasoned, cast-iron pan. Side by side the crust is far superior. The main problem being that the bottom takes too long to heat up and distribute for a properly golden caramelized crust.
The whole point of brick in my opinion is pre-heating. But Alas, you cannot do that with a chicago pizza unless you have some crazy skills (form soft dough to a 400 degree brick, hehe). Now it makes a great bread warmer for me.
Customer Review: Too Hard to Keep Clean
Summary: 2 Stars
This baker does heat evenly. It works well for baking
frozen bread and pastries. Pizza crusts crisp well.
I like how the rim protects against pizza sauce spills
in my oven. So far there are no cracks or chips.
However, after one use there was discoloration
on the surface. I told myself that it added "character"
to the baker, that I was not "obsessive" like Detective Monk
on T. V. about spots. However, after ten uses,
the discolorations have spread and deepened.
Personally, it bothers me.
You decide!
Customer Review: Perfect for stuffed pizzas!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this pizza pan as a gift to myself recently and I couldn't be happier with the results. I had been searching for a pizza pan that would easily allow for making either deep dish pizzas or stuffed pizzas and this pan is ideal for both. The stone lets the dough bake evenly without any heavily burned parts and when used correctly the pizza slides out almost effortlessly.
My only complaint with this pan is that it is so small that you can only make enough for 2-4 people (your appetite may vary), so I'm still searching for a larger one for parties!
Customer Review: Wonderful Pizza!
Summary: 5 Stars
I make home made pizzas on a flat pizza stone for my family all the time. I've often tried making deep dish pizzas in a metal pan and they were never as crispy as baking on the stone. I purchased this stone to make my deep dish pizzas and they turned out fantastic! Crispy, crunchy yet soft and chewy crust, just like chicago style. I've thrown out the metal deep dish pan!
