Can you bake a smaller pizza on a larger screen or do you need a screen for each different sized pizzas you want to make?

I used to work in a pizza shop. This is what we used. They will accommodate smaller sizes. when we used them we would roll the dough out to a bit larger than the screen then tap the screen to get the dough to contract. By tap I mean we laid the dough on the screen picked it up off counter surface by a few inches and let it fall. Just ordered one for home use.

Smaller pizza is fine. I get the biggest that fits in my oven and storage space. Also, I get a solid aluminum pan the same size for cutting.BTW, I use the screen in convection oven to make things crispy, particularly frozen or reheated French fries.

I comfortably do 14" pizzas. Though to maximize stone space, an oval 14x19 Roman style pie would be the max. It doesn't matter since they cook in like 5 minutes. I've done parties where I've made 6 pies in 45 minutes, prep included.

Unfortunately, no, it does not have a window. The time the manual suggests (I forgot how long it was) is pretty on point with the pre-baked crust I usually use, though. Anyway, it just take a little experience and after a couple pizza's you'd have no problem setting the right temperature and time!

Be careful not to make the crust too large. I make one that just fit the stone, not realizing that it would expand a bit when cooking. I would stick with 10" or less.

I don't for pizza. I preheat the oven to 550 degrees f. Then I pat out my thin yeast crust and pre bake 7 minutes, pull it out of the oven, put toppings on & return to the oven for 5-9 more minutes. When I make a second pizza, I pat the dough out on parchment paper and put it in the hot pan.

you can, but you will probably only cook on the one, once it get's "broke in" it doesn't stick anymore, (only sticks a little til then) - we LOVE LOVE LOVE ours and use it every week to make my husband's famous sausage pizza!

Absolutely. Very easy. The recipe makes 2 - 12" thin crust pizzas, or one 12" thick crust pizza. It kneads the dough, then goes through a 46 minute rise, stirs down and has a 25 minute rise. Full cycle takes 1:45 but there is a 20 minute rest period when you start. I think the rest is to let the ingredients all get to a good room temperature. When I know my ingredients were already at room temperature, I'll started the machine (without putting in the pan), then assemble the ingredients, and then I'll put the pan in. That lets the machine eat up some of that rest time.

A 13x9 Pan would be too big. I am able to cook a full size pizza and I have used a 8x8 sqaure pyrex pan in the toaster oven. I absolutely love the toaster oven, I have made cookies and casseroles. I hope my answers help.

Regular is perfect for 2 people, it works great for virtually anything you want to cook. Bigger is always better. Especially better for tall stuff with a foil tent.

You can use whatever size you want! Smaller bags smaller batches all cooks the same! I use the all the time at our school...love! Love! Love!

If yiu let the machine bake the bread then the slices will be quute big. I usually let the machine make the dough and I bake the bread in my oven.

The tart would be larger than I envision. You can make the pie dough and make sure you don't stretch it putting in in the pan. Flute the edges, prick bottom and sides with a fork, then bake according to pie shell directions. When you go about making pies, you will find the plastic patterns just a bit too small. Cut both top and bottom larger so that the crusts can be sealed before fluting. One pan can satisfy both needs.

The oven has a pizza stone for making "standard" pizza. It works quite well. I love it! It also comes with a teflon coated pan for "deep dish" pizza with I never use. I don't care for deep dish pizza.

Hi Jeanette.....You must be makng your pizza,and we only use ours to heat purchased pizza which we "doctor". The screens work beautifullly for that, and yes it allows the bottom crust to stay crisp and golden. We are very happy with this purchase. CR

I par bake about 12 individual pizza crusts at a time and freeze them. When I am ready to make pizza I thaw while I prepare the toppings. I think if you were going to use them right away you could just flatten and not par bake. We like very thin crusts but I believe you could control the thickness by the amount of dough you use and the pressure to flatten.

If you use the aluminum pan that comes with the kit, nothing else is really needed. You can spin the pan itself to assure a nice crust all the way around. If you go with the pizza stone, you will need a peel because the stone will have to be preheated. Also, there are some special tongs used to turn the pizza itself since rotating the stone is really hard. There isn't much room to through the front opening when using a stone as well.

It produces a sauce with the normal screen or if you want chunky use the salsa screen that you can buy separately
