Cast Iron Pizza Pan
For those of you that have used CI for pizzas rather than pizza stones, what's the the best method? Put it in after getting it to cook temp with the pizza already on it?

I put mine in my oven. Center rack position. When it gets to temp (IR thermo), I turn off the oven and turn on the top broiler. Then add the pizza. Done in no time (2-3 minutes). Top and bottom.
This is with a 1/4" steel, not CI, but it should be similar. Haven't done a pie in the egg in well over two years. Can't see the point.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Forgot to mention, I don't top my pies heavily. No Pizza Hut meat lovers, or supreme. If you use a ton of stuff, it may not behave the same.

Did you use the plate setter? I did a pizza this summer with a little brain fade and put the stone on the egg (grate) and burned the daylights out of it. I would imagine that the CI direct and stone direct would give similar disastrous results. FWIW, prior to torching this one, I've done several with the pizza stone raised, indirect with perfect results. Just a little reminder to pay better attention. Learned this lesson.

You'll love the crust with the CI once you dial it in. Hot is good, but not direct for pizzas.
You can use that piece for a lot of stuff, including one of my favs - smash burgers. Probably my favorite piece of CI.
Welcome to the forum btw.

Just noticed your sig block. How do you like your La Caja China? Always wanted one, but I most assuredly don't "need" it.
