Pizza on the mini

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
Hubby wasn't home for dinner, so tried a personal size pizza on the mini. It was good, but the crust was a little too done on the bottom. Need to figure out how to get it cooked without charred on bottom. I used the mini woo and mini stone. This pic is prior to going on the egg.

Also heated up some stuffed peppers that I had frozen. They were definitely better than the day I first cooked them. I'm inspired to cook up a bunch and put them in the freezer for when the mood hits me!

    Great looking food Di! On both posts!! Try some spacers to get that za up higher and to add air flow. I need to get me a mini woo.

    Di,

    I find the trick to cooking pizzas on the mini is to use both of the Amazon pizza stones. This helps keep the bottom from getting burned. When we cooked 18 mini pizzas at the Ocal fest last year it worked really well.. B)

    Great suggestion! Thanks so much! I was wondering what else to do that wouldn't raise it up too much. Do you also use the mini woo? Or, just the two stones on top of the grate?

    I use the mini woo with a stone in the bottom and the other on top; works great.

    Molly, David was convinced by others at the Sunshine fest to try to repair our mini and it's innards (I'm still getting a small :laugh: ), so for now, I'm gonna hold on to my accessories. :)

    My set up is:
    mini kim woo...
    pizza stone...
    mini grid...
    2nd pizza stone...
    then I have 8" pizza screens that I place the pie directly on....this lifts the bottom of the crust an 1/8' off of the stone and it "usually" doesn't burn....

    I try to cook mini pizzas at about 400-450...but that little sucker can get to 550-600 in no time even with all of that mas inside.

    Also make sure the pie crust is no bigger than the stone...sometimes on the mini we shape the pies in squares...we find it is easier to bake.. :blink:

    Thanks Kim for all the help. I'm going to try your set-up the next time. My pizza size was perfect. Just too done on the bottom. I don't have a pizza screen, so we'll see if that makes a difference.
