Pizza Tools: The right tool for the job...

The right pizza tools can make our life easier. I must confess…I am a kitchen gadget junkie! I am not sure if it is because they are bright and shiny, or promise to make my life easier…but I have several drawers full of “the latest” and gadgets that was sure to make my life easier or my food better.

Actually, there are a number of gadgets and pizza tools that I could not live without. Some as simple as a Pizza Cutter that besides using for pizza I use to cut quesadilla’s and cut the crust off of bread, to more expensive items such as our KitchenAid mixer.

Do yourself a favor and purchase the right equipment for making pizza! It is common for our readers try and skip this step…and then send an email asking, WHAT HAPPENED? After asking them a series of questions I usually find out that they are using a cookie tray to bake their pizza or did not know their water temperature when activating the yeast.

As we build our site we hope to be able to provide specific equipment testing and recommendations. For example, not all Pizza Stones are created equal. I have purchased stones that cracked and dealt with the customer service departments trying to get a replacement or a refund. We purchased a pizza cutter one time that was not dishwasher safe…we did not know it (probably did not read the directions) and it rusted in a matter of weeks.

The type of pizza equipment needed is partially determined by the type of pizza you want to make. Making a Chicago Style pizza will require Deep Dish Pans, these would not be needed if you prefer to make a more traditional type of pizza.

Don’t worry…we have information on ALL of the pizza equipment that you WILL need, and even some items that is pretty cool if you have a few extra bucks burning a hole in your pocket. There is some Basic Equipment that we recommend for anyone that is considering making pizza more than once…and wants a superior finished product.
