New Star Foodservice Restaurant-Grade Seamless Aluminum Pizza Baking Screen, 18 Inch

My daughter and I love making 6" - 8" homemade personal pan pizzas using homemade dough, but weren't happy with the middle of our pizzas sometimes staying doughy or undercooked. Most people use a traditional pizza stone for this, since residential ovens do not get hot enough like a commercial pizza oven would. However, both our pizzas would not fit on a stone and our oven is not big enough for two stones (we like to watch movies on pizza night and need them to be done at the same time). Enter the pizza screen.... not only are they super affordable, sturdy, and well made, but we have perfect crispy crusts every time. Sometimes I will pre-bake the dough for 5 mins at 450*F before adding toppings for even more crunch, but it's not really necessary. The screens are fairly easy to clean. Once in awhile cheese will drip onto the metal mesh and burn/harden. If that happens, I'll pour a bit of full-strength dish soap on the spots and let them sit in the sink for about a half hour, and it usually comes right off without having to scrub. They are aluminum, so if you put them in your dishwasher they will slightly discolor with time, but it doesn't affect their use. Also, they include the outer rim as part of the overall measurement, so make sure you get them a little bigger to accomodate the size pizzas you are making. (Its hard getting them out of the oven without an edge to grab onto with the potholder. We don't have a pizza paddle.) If you like making small personal pizzas or just need a crispier crust, give these a try.

I have a couple of similar screens I used in my regular oven to make pizza. I have since purchased a Breville Smart Oven Pro and wanted to make fresh pizza in it. These fit perfectly and work well. Here is my process (same as I used in my regular oven). I would make my dough and when I was ready, I would take some parchment paper and divide the dough between two sheets. I made a little less dough than I usually would for my 16" screens due to the smaller size of these screens. I took these screens and trimmed my parchment to be slightly bigger around than the screens. I then put the screens under the parchment and pushed my dough out until it was the same size as the screen. Then I did my toppings on and got the Smart oven up to temp. Cooked my pizzas at 480 for 14 minutes with fan on the marked pizza level in the oven. I used a regular baking tray to slide them in and then slide under (when done) the screen to lift out enough I could get with the oven mitt. Worked a treat!!! The advantage to the parchment is that I don't have to worry about the dough sinking and attaching itself to the screen. Plus makes it easier to spread the dough out. The advantage to cooking on the screen is that I get even, great heat to the bottom of the dough that gives me a great crust. I've used pizza stones before. They are fine and I have had some great pizzas off of them, but then I have the extra faff of semolina or flour under the dough to get them to slide, getting them heated enough for first pizza and then recovery for additional pizzas and then the storage and potential breakage of them. These screens make is simple! Just get oven to temp and go. Storage super simple and because I use parchment, zero clean up after. Just throw the parchment away and screens are ready to go or store. Definite good purchase and would recommend!

Love this it seems like pretty good quality I’ve only used it a couple of times

It does the job. I used it and was pleased. I greased it with olive oil, slapped my dough on it, placed my toppings on the dough and had a darn good pizza! I put it directly on the oven rack and the pie didn’t stick to it. It’s not the best quality. It seemed a little flimsy but it does the job and I’m pleased. So long as it doesn’t rust, I’ll be using this for awhile.

The 12" round screen is good for my Breville XL smart oven. Had previously used a perforated pan which worked OK. But the screen makes a noticeably crisper pizza when using the ultra-thin supermarket pizza dough blanks. Wish they made a 12.5" or 13" screen as that would be better for 12" pizza dough. That being the 12" screen is difficult to grasp with oven mitts at the end of a cook if pizza dough edge is even with the screen's edge. A little larger screen radius would be easier to grab by gloved hand. Was a little worried the cooked pizza would stick to the screen but no issues sliding off. At a little over $8 the 12" screen is a bargain. Also plan on using it for air frying and a crumb catcher below the Breville air frying basket tray. Edit: Keep from tarnishing and pitting by hand washing this aluminum screen. Still functions OK after dishwashing but looks distressed.

As a pretty good hobby chef I have always aspired to make good pizza at home. I have come to realize that this seemingly simple food is actually really hard to prepare right. My biggest problem has been that a thin crust with toppings doesn't slide well of the pizza peel (despite lots of cornmeal) and I ended up with a mess on the 500 degree pizza stone in the oven. Lots of smoke, and not a nice looking pizza. Next problem has been getting the pizza off the stone and out of the oven. This is where a pizza screen makes your job so much easier and delivers perfect pies. Roll the dough out, put it on the sreen, sauce and decorate it. It's a snap putting it in the oven. I still use the pizza stone. It is super easy turning the pizza once during baking. And getting the pizza out of the oven is likewise easy because nothing sticks. The baked crust easily comes off the screen and you can prepare the next pie. Super easy, great results. The pizza crust is baked perfectly. It is best to have two of these screens so you can bake one pie and prepare the next. Cleanup is easy, just soak screen in the sink for a few hours and anything that's baked on comes right off with a dish brush. And no more cornmeal all over the kitchen! This is the best thing for making pizza at home. Measure your oven before you order. This product is inexpensive and should last for a very long time.

This is a great product as it leaves the bottom more open to get crispy and who doesn't like a crispy pizza crust!?

Works perfect for cooking pizza faster and evenly on the bottom as well as the top. Used 4 times easy to clean simple to use.

Bonne assiette a pizza pour BBQ.

Las pizzas se cocieron perfectas, son excelentes para meterlas al horno tradicional, se obtienen deliciosas en su cocimiento y en menos de 15 mink

Esta a muy buen preció, esta hecha con un buen material. No se pega y la pizza queda crujiente. Solo haya que curar el molde antes de utilizarlo, ponerle un poco de aceite y meter el molde al horno por unos 15 min y listo ya la pueden utilizar. La recomiendo ampliamente.

Es un buen producto sin embargo la masa se pego desconozco si por el mal uso o si es el acabado que tiene Pros: Buen precio Buen material Ligero Contra: Por algun motivo se pega la masa

Decent product but over valued.
