Papa Murphy's - A suggestion

in EggHead Forum
We really like doing Papa Murphy's pizza on the BGE, and generally do it successfully.  However, I have learned through observation and a few less than stellar experiences to not order the pizza any earlier than you have to.  The reason is that the longer the pizza sits around, the more time available for the tomato paste water to migrate into the crust and make it soggy.  This makes it easier for the. wet crust to stick to the baking stone.  I think what happens is if you order your. pizza mid-afternoon for an evening pickup, they make it right away since mid-afternoon is their slow time.  So wait till the last minute to order your pizza.  (obviously, we order online and then have to drive to town for pickup)

    So… ordering many years in advance generally wouldn’t be a great idea?

    I'm surprised your pie is sticking to a baking stone; are you preheating the stone for 30 minutes or so first?

    Hmmm, I never take my Papa Murphy raw pizza out of that oven proof baking material they come in. Granted after 12 to 14 minutes I will slip my metal pizza peel under the pizza to separate it from that baking material so that it can brown up better on the pizza stone for 3 of 4 minutes.

    Yes, I. always heat the stone up to target temperature 30+ minutes in advance and I also start the pizza on the slip sheet for 10 minutes and finish directly on the stone.   I use corn starch liberally on both the stone & the peel.  Maybe all Papa Murphy's are not created equally.   Bruce

    do you have a infrared temp gun? It would be nice to know the temp of your stone.

    Your term of "slip sheet" puzzles me. My PM pizzas are always made on an embossed cardboard-like coated material "pizza pan" as it is even called in the baking instruction sheet. Could your PM franchisee  be a rouge businessman using that "slip sheet" and not wanting to buy those PM pizza pans? I mean they are even embossed with the name Papa Murphy clear across the "pan". That might also be why I have never that problem you describe of  tomato paste water to migrate into the crust and make it soggy. And BTW I typically buy my PM pizzas 6 to 7 hours before I bake them plus the fact after I take delivery my trip home is another 30 minutes merely resting on the back seat of my car - then into my refrigerator for the next 6 to 7 hours.

    I used the term slipsheet loosely.  I get the pizza on the same material you described.

    But then you remove the raw pizza from that before baking it?

    Same is going to be true for TV dinners.  If you get them out too soon and they defrost, the cherry cobbler gets soggy, that’s what my father always did, mom never liked it much though on account of her cherry allergies.  I never know if I should put the fried chicken right on the grate or leave it in the foil tray.  You have to leave the Salisbury steak in the tray or the gravy falls through the grate and don’t get me started on the corn.

    There is no way we can have 2 Papa Murphy’s threads go sideways in 2 weeks. 

    I feel like we are crossing the streams here.

    I agree @The Cen-Tex Smoker

    In the history of the forum(s) has there even been one?  And now two?

    A Papa Murphy’s thread… divided against itself… cannot stand.

     I wonder if BBQ messes with peoples heads or people with messed up heads gravitate to BBQ.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.
