Soooooo, what you're saying is you're clueless how a pizza stone works, or what a pizza stone is for. That about right?

(Not saying that it still doesn't look tasty though.)
Inform me, you're saying we should preheat the pizza stone and throw a bunch of cold dough on it, and crack the 20 year old pizza stone?

Just curious.

this was the first pizza I ever made. I made the crust from scratch. It looks a bit odd but turned out really good.

toppings: sauce, onion, green pepper, ham, pepperoni, mushrooms and mozza-cheddar cheese.

Aw cmon, looks pretty good for a first attempt to me, I'd eat it any day.

If you mean mine, you've never been around real Italians 🙂

Just because coming out of the oven soon, the old pizza stone, some sister in laws home made sauce, some leftover hot Italian sausage, and peppers and various things.

My wife yips at me for putting the cheese on top, she's a New York Italian and calls it a Midwestern pizza, the whole milk Mozerella good.

Bit of real garlic cooking on the crust.

Nom Nom.

That looks like somebody already ate it at least once. Puke!
 
Looks like dung. Now this is a pizza!

Kashi pizza will knock your socks off with its tasty sauce! Also, its organic! Eat it with your favorite beer! It's also good for you. I call it "Good for you Pizza!"

If it cracks then it wasn't worth having. If it isn't hot why use it? The stone's purpose is to absorb heat then release it onto the crust, with enough energy to provide crispness. If it hasn't reached thermal equilibrium in a hot oven then it will act to prevent what it's therefore to begin with. It becomes a sink drawing heat away from the dough. Better to just use a baking sheet.



I usually heat my oven to 550 and only a half hour or more later do I slide the pizza onto the stone. I keep two stones in the oven and they're about 10 years old.

Not sure if serious... but that is exactly what should be done. A good pizza stone wont crack. I preheat my stone for half hour in the oven before cooking pizza on it
 
Seems to work just fine pre cooking the crust to me, then taking it out and letting the stone continue to cook the crust for about 5 minutes after taking it out of the oven to me.

We do it that way all the time and it just continues to cook the pizza after taking it out of the oven awhile.

Yes it absorbs heat, we take it out and let it cook outside the oven even after it's cooked to finish baking the crust.

This one was still bubbling even 5 minutes after taking it out, and the crust was cooking at the time on the bottom still.

Just how we roll I guess.

Have had a few friends that cracked stones before by putting cold into contact with them while hot.

Ya positive you might not be doing it wrong perhaps ?

:biggrin:

Not really she came from upstate and I was born in Staten Island though I didn't grow up there.

But we've both been living in Florida 25 years now, he he.

Doesn't mean she knows shit about Pizza and obviously you don't.

Throw that shit away and order just pick up some Little Caesars', you'd be doing yourself a favor choking that shit down.

You weren't here obviously.

She was going off on how good it was for an hour, and she used to be a Cruise Agency manager and we've eaten at many high end Restaurants on the top of the big ships over the last 20 years.

Not the dining rooms, though they are usually good.

I wouldn't go near Little Caesar's with a 20 foot pole.

But whatever.

Just another hater I guess.

I can make a better pizza than that mess from Wonder Bread, Ragu, dollar store cheese and pepperoni though.

I used to roller blade after hours with some hotties from my office back in the 90's. My job was to put them home safe, and then properly fucked. They made the pizza, I just instructed. I brought the wine. That Red Wine for Dummies book paid off back then.

And a lot of condoms.
