Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge Logic Pizza/Roasting Pan
Customer Review: This is a Great Pizza Pan
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been making pizzas just about every friday night for over 20 years and I have to say that this is the best pizza pan I've ever used. For a nice cripsy thin crust pizza, here is my method. My wife makes the dough using King Arthur Pizza Flour direct from their recipe. I turn on my oven to 450 degrees and begin to roll out the dough. Once I have the dough shaped to the size of the pizza pan, I spray the bottom of the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with salt (and once a while some parmesean cheese). I flip it over onto the Lodge Pizza Pan, perforate, and stick it in the oven which by this time is about 250 degrees, and let it sit for 6 - 7 minutes or until the top of the crust just starts to turn brown as the oven comes up to temperature. Then I take the pan out of the oven and apply the sauce, cheese and toppings. Put the pan back into the oven and bake for another 15 - 17 minutes and you will have the best home made pizza you've ever tasted with a crispy crust beyond compare.
Description of Lodge Logic Pizza/Roasting Pan
The one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require "seasoning." To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother's ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into such a treasure. Fortunately Lodge has come out with the new Logic line, which has been evenly coated on all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil. Next the cookware is put into an extremely high temperature industrial oven which bakes the coating into the surface. Not only will you be spared the time and effort of seasoning, but also the new piece you buy will look and perform better than if you had seasoned it at home. Just like that heirloom pan you will find that even pineapple upside down cake doesn't stick to this surface. Bake a pizza with delicious golden crust, and keep it hot at the table with this wonderful pan. Use it to roast vegetables too!There are lots of fancy cookware materials out there but cast iron still trumps them all with its even heating, heat retention, price, and duration. It?s these traits that make Lodge cookware favored by both indoor chefs and campfire cooks alike. The caveat is being able to lift cast iron cookware and, at 9 pounds, this pan will give most chefs a workout. The 14-inch diameter of this pan is specifically designed for baking thin-crust pizzas but the pan is equally as useful for roasting vegetables or whole nuts and browning pork chops. Two loop handles make it easy to grip this hefty pan and haul it out of the oven.
While it usually takes years of cooking to burn on the prized finish that makes cast-iron cookware smooth and stick-free, the Logic line of cookware comes pre-seasoned to save you some work. Cast iron pans in this line are coated in a vegetable oil, which is then baked on in a hot industrial oven to obtain that blackened patina and silky surface. Logic cookware has plenty of fans, including the editorial staff at Good Housekeeping, who cited it as one of the best new products of the year at the 2003 Good Buy Awards. --Cristina Vaamonde
