Mismanaged Pizza Cook

[ckreef]

Mismanaged the Blackstone temperature and also mismanaged my picture lighting. Still tasted good and looks good. With that said lesson learned about the Blackstone (but I knew this already) and will upgrade my food lighting one of these days.

They were good just a bunch of technical flaws from start to finish. About the only thing that went right was the stretching. 

I just expect more out of myself especially when it comes to pizza.

Looks good from the cheap seats. 

Not to hijack, but am contemplating a Blackstone for my Christmas list (which usually means I buy it and "let" wife wrap it). Love my KK for pizza, but am thinking the Blackstone would be more fuel efficient and quicker to heat. What else can be cooked on a Blackstone other than pizza?

ck, I think you were too hard on yourself, those are a long long way from throw outs.

I've done baked Spaghetti and similar dishes. Temperature range is about 350* -  1,000*. For most everything except thin crust I like using the KK.

For thin crust the Blackstone beats the KK hands down. It's just faster and easier. Set temperature for properly browning the bottom. Once the bottom is 80% done crank the heat up to finish off the top (usually less than 30 seconds to finish the top). This is all really easy since you can watch the pizza the entire time. I can usually get 3 pizzas cooked and on the table in 10 minutes.

Definitely not throw outs just not my best work.

Sadly, Charles, we share the same trait - cooks seldom measure up to our own expectations. But, when they do - Bliss!!

Yup you totally get it.

When a cook really works out to my expectations and I'm tooting my own horn you can bet your paycheck it was a really killer meal. Mostly the rest are good but that one or two meals a month that blow my own socks off is what keeps me moving forward.

Even in bad lighting those pizza's look very good.
