 | | Thought I'd post the response I got from the Test Kitchens regarding baking Self-Rising Pizzas on our round stones. Although I've never had a problem, the question was raised and I emailed PC for verification: Thank you for contacting the Pampered Chef Test Kitchens with your product question. Some concerns have been raised regarding self rising pizza and Stoneware breakage. If you place a frozen self rising pizza on your stone and put it in the oven, the stone will heat up as the pizza is thawing. Once the pizza thaws and the dough begins rising it expands out, touching the hot areas of the stone. This contact between the cold, rising dough and the heated stone can cause thermal shock. After thorough testing in the Test Kitchens we have determined that thawing your pizza (not on your stone!) for 15 to 20 minutes before baking will greatly reduce the risk of thermal shock. However, this thawing step does compromise the quality of the baked pizza.
Sincerely, The Pampered Chef Test Kitchens Rita | | | |
