Can you slice pizza directly on this platter or will it damage the plate and/or your cutter?

I have not used it for pizza but I cut cake on it all the time and it has not scratched or otherwise been damaged.

I am sure you can. I have only used it for a cake, but the knife didn't harm the plate or knife at all.

This is a very nice round platter and is glazed so that it reminds me of a ceramic piece. I use it to serve a large pan of cornbread, and I use a large knife to cut the bread on the platter-- no damage to the knife or the platter. I would guess a sharp pizza cutter would be safe to use, but I wouldn't want to use heavy pressure--the platter is glass and who knows how much pressure it can handle?

That's just the way it is with a pizza stone. Let it go. Scrubbing it with water can harm it. If you put it in the oven while it still has moisture in it it could crack. Just wipe it off with a damp sponge and let it air dry.

You can, but not a good idea. Buy an inexpensive round metal pizza pan and cut it on that.

An actual knife will leave marks on this mat or even cut it. It is a soft, pliable silicone mat. You can cut with a hard, plastic scraper or hard, plastic spatula. Just cut softly. This mat stays on my counter nicely and is great for rolling out dough, but I have run into this same issue. Because the mat is so functional otherwise, I have found these other ways to gently cut things. I think a pizza cutter potentially will leave marks on the mat or cut it. I made cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning. I used this mat to roll the dough and make them. I used a knife to cut the rolls which left indentations on the mat. It is still functional for future, but I was reminded to use hard plastic next time and cut gently.

Darlene, I love this slicer. It is durable and works great. In fact, my sister is borrowing it. I bought it with a coupon so that helped but honestly it seems it will last a lifetime. Good luck!

I've used a knife for years..... but what is under your pizza when you are cutting it? A pizza stone? That ruins the edge on the knife in no time...even if you have the patience to rock a chef's knife, the stone is brutal. A cookie sheet? That's easier on the knife, but the sheet gains cuts. Seems like this tool or a rolling pizza cutter would work better.

You can but it will dull your pizza cutter. I transfer it to a board to cut

You can't cut on it, it's a coating that you won't want to scratch. If you have (as I do) one of those wooden things with the long handle that you can cut the pizza on then slide it back onto the anolon piece or whatever shape piece you choose. Or cut whatever it is on a cutting board/block. You just wash it with warm water and soap before you ever use it and clean it off with soap and water, it doesn't need the torture of the dishwasher.Hope this helps!

Yes the rack is used after the pizza is cooked to transport the pie to the table, as they say you can cut the pizza right on the stone. I do not use the rack myself. I leave the stones in the oven as if making homemade pizza, I tend to make several. I slide the pie to a large cutting board with a pizza peel.

I think the food gets crisper if you don't use a tray underneath, but it would be dufficult to remove it from the oven with something like french fries. I think you could use it alone with pizza. You just need a wide flat spatula tool to remove it to support it underneath. However, it seems to me that you could just put the pizza directly on the rack and get great results without this sheet.

I have not tried the slicer with cheese. If I have a chance I will do it later and I will send an additional answer.

Yes this should work because it sits on the slicer platform just like the food you want to slice. You then adjust it to sharpen the blade. This way it will work on most slicers

Hey Michelle,Although the pizza crisper may look somewhat oval on the outside. The inner circle where you place the pizza is circular in shape. So, you should be able to slice your pizza as normal. Cheers!

You can disconnect the slicer. It's just screwed on with a wing nut. You can always reattach.

I've never tried to cut dough on the mat. I suppose it would depend on how vigorous you are. It seems pretty tough. I do use the scraper on it with no damage

I think it depends on how hard you press when slicing. I usually can get a thin slice but my hubby can press hard and get a thick slice. It is very sharp.

This is a great slicer!!! BUT you have to be extremely careful with the blade... super, super sharp!!! The blade cover must be removed first - easily done by unscrewing the knob directly behind the blade. Using a phillips screw driver, remove the three screws that hold the blade in place. Keep one hand on the blade as you do this, to prevent it from moving. This is the tricky part... you have to push the blade from behind to pop out and then carefully maneuver it out from under the edges. Never leave the blade unscrewed and unattended!!!
