Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Nonstick Extendable Pizza Crisper Baking Sheet
Customer Review: Does what it says, except one thing...
Summary: 5 Stars
Says it expands so you can fit it into the slots on the sides of the oven (essentially making it it's own rack). This is only the case if you have a small/compact oven (the weird kind in some smaller apartments and in some kitchens I've seen in Europe). I have a standard-size (I think around 23" wide) oven, and even with the expanding handles, it doesn't come close to fitting.
This is, of course, not a big deal. I just set it on top of another rack.
I whipped up some pizza dough and rolled it right on this rack-- no flour dusting! No kidding! The non-stick is great. I made it pretty thin, topped it up, and baked for about 15 minutes at 475. The pizza was great. It was actually better with this pan than with my pizza stone (let the record show that I like *crispy* pizza...). It was crisp on the bottom, but still chewy. I could pick up a slice by the crust, and it didn't flop at all. That's how I like it. For reference, my home-made crust turned out similar to what you get with the (par-baked) Frescetta "Brick Oven" pizzas (the only good frozen pizzas, as far as I'm concerned).
Advantages:
1. Roll/prepare right on the sheet! No messing with a pizza peel!
2. Crust turns out great, and no sticking.
3. lightweight, easy to use, easy to clean, and cheap.
4. IMO, better results than with a stone.
5. No one-hour warm-up like when using a stone.
Disadvantages:
1. Doesn't expand to full width of a normal oven; must be used like a regular pan.
2. Warped a bit (the "pan twist") during baking; resumed normal shape upon cooling.
summary: FIVE stars for performance, but stupid size...
This is a no-brainer. If you're experimenting with making your own pizzas, definitely drop your $20 on this toy. Then if you use it for bread or cookies, let us know about it!!!
