A spatula is used to separate the pizza from the oven and transfer it to a cutting surface. The pan is great for lots of uses, and I enjoy it. Loaded nachos are one of my favorite uses for it.
On the label it says it can withstand temperatures up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/223 degrees C.

If non stick pans are placed in an oven above 500 F, the non stick coating will be destroyed, and the non stick coating will emit a semi-sticky substance. The fumes produced are toxic. As these chemicals fumes are absorbed by the toppings and crust of your pizza, you can imagine how unhealthy it will be. This is only true if you are extremely experienced in the use of a wood-fired pizza oven and are able to control its temperature precisely so it does not rise over 450 degrees F where you bake As I watched wood fired oven artisans in action, using hot coals to manipulate the temperatures in an oven 6 feet wide, they were able to bake pizzas and gently simmer sauces.
Thanks for a great product, we will be using it for a lot of things in the future.
The recipe from Uno's Chicago with this pan is absolutely delicious! There's no better place to have pizza than here. Pies do not begin to stick even after they have been baked. These slide out of the pan with no problem at all. A golden crust cooked until it is perfect. I was unable to make my pizza crust as crispy and delicious as a pizzeria's crust until I bought this deep dish pan. If you want to make your own pizza crust, buy this pan and mix it up. It will never taste the same when you buy it from the store.
Due to not liking water anymore and the fact that the original water pan is too deep (it interferes with things like coal and wood), I don't use the water pan on my 18" Weber Smokey Mountain cooker. As you press this dish into place, it is snug and secure. This dish is meant to fit the water pan tabs perfectly. Wrapping it in foil keeps it at the perfect temperature.
I've never made a deep dish pizza before, only thin crust on a stone or ceramic tile. There will probably be some benefit from baking. My cooking utensils are washed by hand, and I won't put them in a dishwasher if I know what I know about them.
A 14" pizza pan seems so big to me that I wasn't sure how big it The size of it worried me that it would be a little underdone in the middle. Nonetheless, the pizza turned out to be perfectly cooked. We used a plastic spatula to get the pizza out, and we were able to do it.
To replace a Pizza Hut pan that I had owned for years, I bought this one. Since it has a light color, I wasn't sure if it would work as well as the pizza hut pan, but it browns the crust just as well as it does the pizza hut pan.
When I use it together with a pizza stone, it is ideal. Perfectly round pizzas come out from the oven, and the crust is perfectly crisp. My preference with this pan is to make a pizza more free form than I used to do. Perhaps I will need a second one for "pizza parties. ".
