Review: Perfect pizza screen for homemade pizzas – even cooking, great crust, and easy to use - TLDR: If you want even cooking, great crust, and a screen that’s durable and easy to use, this is a no-brainer. Just measure your oven, pick the right size, and you’ll be happy. I bought this 12 inch pizza screen about a year ago when I started making homemade bread and pizza dough, and it has been fantastic. I’ve used pizza screens back in my restaurant days, and this one works just as well. It’s perfect for cooking directly on the oven rack without needing a cookie sheet, and it’s easy to slide a pizza peel underneath to remove the pizza when it’s done. The mesh design lets air circulate so pizzas cook evenly and the crust comes out beautifully. As long as you grease the bottom lightly, pizzas don’t stick. I’ve used it for multiple homemade pizzas, and it’s been flawless every time. Size: There are a lot of size options available, so make sure you check your oven before buying. I went with 12 inches, which is perfect for a medium pizza. Some reviews complain the screen is too big or too small, but that’s really on the buyer. Measure your oven and pick the size that works. Sturdiness: People also comment on sturdiness. Let me tell you, this thing is solid. A pizza might weigh a pound or two, and the screen handles it without any problem. It’s mesh, so it’s not solid like a cookie sheet, but that’s how pizza screens work. This is for cooking pizza, not a 5 pound pot roast or pork loin. It performs perfectly. Ease of cleaning: Cleaning is simple if you know how. I soak mine in hot soapy water and scrub with a bristle brush, then let it air dry. Don’t worry if it discolors a bit over time... that’s normal for pizza screens. They never look perfectly shiny forever, but that doesn’t affect performance. Remember, you must grease these before placing your dough on them. Value: I paid around $5.16 last year, and even now it’s only a little more. That’s an amazing deal for something that lets you cook professional-style homemade pizzas at home.
Review: Makes a perfect browned crust! - Needed airflow to get frozen pizza crust a little crispier than what you get with a regular baking sheet. This pan fits the bill! Haven't tried it with leftovers yet, but it cooks a frozen pizza evenly and gives it a nice browning on the crust. It's even easy to scrub clean. Very pleased!
