Texture and Materials
The unique solid texture is appropriate for preparing a soft crispy crust pizza. Its thickness allows dough to absorb some sauce what, in turn, makes a pizza gluey and soft. At the same time, if you preheat the pan, your pizza will be much crispier. Comparing this pan with other products available on the modern market, we've noticed that it heats up considerably faster than most of them, even those of a larger size, so, if this is important to you, keep this in mind. The coating of the pan (like in most others) is non-stick, which means, you won't need to use a lot of oil and you will be able to clean it just with water. The non-stick glazed coating also determines your convenience of use, allowing you to take your pizza out by slightly tipping the tray over and without using tongs.

FAQ:
Q: How to use a pizza pan?
A: Although many believe that it's better to pre-heat the oven, before placing a pizza pan in it, we suggest you start with a cold oven to prevent shattering. If you have an electric oven with only a bottom element, put your pizza on a lower rack position (about 2/3 of the total time) to get the bottom crispy and then move it higher to end up with the well-baked top. It's advisable to bake pizza at 425 F for about 20-minutes, sometimes a little longer.
Q: Do I need to oil a pizza tray before use?
A: Usually, no seasoning is required, since dough recipes already include some amount of oil. Yet, since the proportions of ingredients may vary from one recipe to another, we'd recommend you to oil the tray just a little bit before baking. If the sticking still occurs, use canola-based seasoning next time.
Q: What else can I cook on a pizza baking stone?
A: Besides pizza, you can use it for many other delicious meals. You can roast a whole chicken with a perfectly crispy skin, cook roots and vegetables, bake crusty bread and cookies, or simply use it for warming up your food. The options are literally numerous.
Q: What care does a pizza pan require?
A: Just wash it in hot water with a mild liquid detergent. After the washing, dry it with a clean towel or a sponge. Keep away from using abrasive solutions or oven cleaners, and don't leave it soak in water for too long.
Q: Are pizza pans dishwasher safe?
No! Most dishwasher detergents contain caustic ingredients which might reduce pan's performance over time.
Q: What should I do if the food starts to stick to the pan?
A: If it does happen, simply soak it in hot water (but not for too long) with mild detergent. Also, baking soda and water on a sponge will help remove stubborn stains. You can use a spatula or a non-abrasive nylon scrubber to take off stuck food, but don't remove oils as they can actually help season your pan, making it slicker. Do not use a metal scouring pad as it can damage the coating.
