Additional Cooking Tips
Here are some additional tips specic to cooking pizza with this appliance. We recommend you
follow these tips to help ensure consistent results with your cooking experience.
• You can use corn meal between the dough and the peel to help slide the pizza o the peel. Be
sure the dough is oured enough that it is not sticky on the bottom.
• Do not leave an assembled pizza on the peel longer than necessary. This can lead to the pizza
sticking to the peel.
• Cook thin to medium crust pizzas directly on the backing stone.
• Use multiple, smaller “icking” gestures to coax the pizza o the peel into the oven. Trying to do
it with one, larger gesture is more likely to dislodge pizza toppings.
• Do not overload a thin-crust or medium-crust pizza with too many toppings. This will most often
lead to a soggy centre crust. When in doubt, less is more.
• If the pizza sticks to the cooking deck, the deck was probably not hot enough before the pizza
was put onto the deck.
• Rotate pizzas for even cooking.
• Brush any burnt cornmeal o the cooking deck and into the crumb tray before cooking the next
pizza.
• If you have any diculty rotating the pizza inside the oven using a peel, try using long-handled
Pizza Oven tongs to do the job. You can also use the tongs to lift the edge of the pizza to check
on the bottom of the crust.
• Avoid letting the pizza contact the cooking deck backstop. This is a very hot surface that will
quickly burn the crust.
