Nordic Ware Deep Dish Pizza Pan, 14 by 2 Inch



High Quality and U.S. Made
This is the deep dish pizza pan you grow old with. It's of the highest quality and the thick rolled edge ensures it will not warp. We made a deep dish pizza tonight using Cooks Illustrated Deep Dish Pizza recipe. This particular recipe is for 2 - 9 inch deep dish pizzas, but works like a dream for one 14 inch pizza. The only deviation from the recipe was we added 1 1/2 lbs of spicy Italian sausage. The pizza came out so good that our boys freaked out and now that's all they want to eat. it was one of those meals where after one bite everyone smiles and praises it. It was the best I've ever had. For the cornmeal naysayers, 1/4 cup of cornmeal in the dough recipe made for the best tasting deep dish crust that's ever passed my lips.

This pan is soooo nice and it's big. Be aware that this really is a huge pan. When I make a regular 16 inch pizza stone pizza I can feed 4 of us (2 slices each). This pan feeds 5 with deep dish. We served a small salad and cut the pizza into 8...

Very Heavy Duty Pan
The pan uses heavy gauge aluminum and has rolled edges for additional stability. It is truly professional quality, and it should last for several generations! I coated it with oil and baked it for 30 minutes at 500 F to season it prior to first use for pizza. Consequently, pizza does not stick.

Well made, but beware of the sizing quoted
Love this pan, it is very well made and should last my kids life time let alone my own and I love the fact it is made in USA, makes me feel good.

Only thing is the size mentioned on the title of this product 14" round 2" deep pan, is not really accurate.
It does say in the "Product Detail": Product Dimensions: 15 x 15 x 1.8 inches ; 1.8 pounds
But many may not look there and just go by the title of the item and it doesn't say if that is inside or outside dimensions.
I upload a photo of the label that came on the pan to Amazon, it states: Outside 15 in x 15 in x 1.75 in
the inside diameter is not listed on label, but I measured it as: 14 in x 14 in x ~1.75 in

So the inside width is correct but depth is off by 1/4 in. Not a big deal to me, but just an FYI to those who may really want a 2" deep pan.

If I was to ding this on anything, it would be it is hand wash only. If it could be washed in Dishwasher this would be perfect. As it is...
