Pizza Screen 2021

Tactic for using a Pizza screen in combination with a pizza stone. Solves any issues you may have with pizza sticking to the peel.

Sure you could practice using the peel. Use cornmeal or blow under the pizza to loosen it up. But boy it sure is sad when the pizza sticks to the peel, folds over on itself or ends up off of the stone.

This is a method for home cooks. Am sure the pro pizza chefs might scoff at this method. However have seen a few pizza fails even by the pros.

This method is especially good if you want younger kids to get involved with pizza making. The method is fool proof and works every time. You probably don't even need a pizza peel at all.

The pizza cooks for 5 minutes on the screen. It is then removed from the screen to cook directly on the stone for 2 or more minutes to get a nice crispy crust. You may have to adjust the time depending on the pizza thickness and toppings.

Important to oil the screen. I use Olive Oil and it helps with the taste and crispy crust.

Got my pizza screen at a restaurant supply store for a couple of dollars. Not easy to find one at a regular department or kitchen supply store.
