What Is A Pizza Screen And How Does It Bake Your Pie?
BY JAVARIA AKBAR
A pizza screen is a pan that creates the crispiest crust by boosting air circulation around the base of a pizza as it bakes, thanks to its metal-mesh design.
The metal mesh conducts heat through to the middle with extreme efficiency. This results in the heat coming into direct contact with the pizza dough.
The mesh design of a pizza screen also means you can easily peek underneath to check whether the dough has baked evenly without disturbing the crust.
Its lightweight design lets you turn it quickly to cook your dish evenly. Once the pizza is ready, the mesh helps the steam to escape quickly, preventing a soggy base.
