twharton Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 My wife advise me earlier today that she wants me to bake a couple pizzas on my new 32 inch bad boy. I am always willing to accommodate her requests and I just smiled at her and said sure honey. Problem is I am still waiting on delivery of my pizza stone among other accessories since delivery of my 32 inch over a month ago. Can anyone offer me a suggestion on what to use as a substitute baking platform?
tony b Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 Run down to the nearest Bed, Bath & Beyond and buy a cheap pizza stone. It will get you by until the good one shows up. But, be warned, they are thin and I've had one actually split on the upper grill after heat soaking when I opened the lid and a rush of cool air hit it. It went "tink" and the next second, it was in 2 pieces. On the upside, it does come with a nice wooden peal. Plan B - deep dish pan on the deflector stone. Plan C - aluminum foil on the deflector stone, if you aren't doing deep dish.
MacKenzie Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 Exactly what Tony, the broccoli man says. There really is no substitute for the KK baking stone but you do have a work around and may I suggest you not try to do an extra high temperature cook. Good luck.Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
twharton Posted September 6, 2016 Author Report Posted September 6, 2016 I don't know what I was thinking guys and ladies. I just use the so far unused heat deflector stones and put a cookie sheet on top with the pizza.
MacKenzie Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 Ahhhhhh, but remember that heat deflector is not the same as the baking stone but in a pinch Wait until you get the baking stone and you'll know what I mean. Looking forward to the baked version of those pizzas. 1
tony b Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 When in Rome, make lemonade, or something like that??
ckreef Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 Looks like a good solution to me. But with parchment paper I would have skipped the cookie sheet.
twharton Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Posted September 7, 2016 That's homegrown basil pesto with some more basil leaves, Roma tomatoes, asparagus, goat cheese....MMMMM,
MacKenzie Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 Sure looks like a home run to me too.

DennisLinkletter Posted September 8, 2016 Report Posted September 8, 2016 Looks great, next time try putting it up on the upper grate.. this lets you take advantage of the heat coming off the ceiling for browning. 2
