Lodge cast iron pizza pan

I heard a program on NPR yesterday about a new Lodge cast iron pizza pan. America's Test Kitchen gave it great reviews
Has anyone tried it out? Obviously cast iron has great heat retention qualities and the review said it heats up in about half the time of the traditional pizza stone.

I don't have a lodge cast iron pizza pan but I use a rectangular griddle for pizza pan I love it. I will be buying some rond cast iron pizza pans soon.

I have one and it is great. I have a traditional pizza stone and a BGE pizza pan with holes in the bottom and my wife always wants the pizza done it the cast iron pan.No need to preheat. Just make your pizza right in the pan (after oiling with olive oil), put it on a raised grid with platesetter legs up. At 550-600 it will take about 10-12 minutes.The pan is a 14' diameter pan.

Those of you that have cooked on a pizza stone and on the cast iron.
Do you find any difference in the crust or how the pizza turns out?

I want and am looking for a CI Pizza pan that is 16". To be used in a LBGE.

I have Mario Batali red pizza pan (cast iron) from Crate and Barrel 18 1/2 inches with handles. I can't figure out how to post the picture - sorry. I have used it for pizza, blackening, French toast, pancakes, and bread. I also have a pizza stone but for the money I get more use out of the pan and don't see a whole lot of difference.Every day is a bonus day and every meal is a banquet in Winter Springs, Fl !

Thanks for the info everyone!

I broke my second baking stone on pizza (high heat) , so I am interested in the cast iron. I would think it would hold heat more (run hotter) than the stone. But, from other comments it doesn't sound like it.

Could you measure yours including the handles? Thanks!!!No need to preheat. Just make your pizza right in the pan (after oiling with olive oil), put it on a raised grid with platesetter legs up. At 550-600 it will take about 10-12 minutes.The pan is a 14' diameter pan.

I am always interested to hear how people store their CI pans to avoid rusting when used infrequently. How do you do it?
Mama always said, Grilling was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. -
I always coat in oil after cleaning, then dry on the range, and store indoors.

Don't think it is that CI runs hotter than stone, I mean 600F is 600F in a stabilized egg. The benefit, or fault, depends on your perspective, is that CI will heat faster. As noted, some folks build the pie in the cool pan and just set it in the egg. You can't get ideal results doing that with a stone. If you are doing multiple pies, a stone is great, simple cooling wipe between pies.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad! -
Ah bummer...thanks for doing that thought!!
