Pizza Pan!

No... not Peter Pan.  I said pizza pan!  Well I didn't actually say it, I typed it in the title of this blog.  Anywho this is going to be a little shorty post since I'm really tired.  I worked a whole lot today and got a lot done at work.  I came home and did a little bit of some things on my creative to do list but mostly I just made a frozen pizza and cracked open a craft beer and watched some netflix.

I've been making pizza's without a pan ever since I moved in to my apartment.  I just figured eh... who needs a pizza pan???  Well the last time I was at the store I bought a pan for 2 bucks, or maybe it was 3 bucks.  It wasn't very much though.  And how it makes ALL the difference!  For one it stops the bottom side from always coming up slightly on the burnt end of the spectrum.  Also it helps to keep things neat and doesn't let crumbs drop all over the oven.  I REALLY need to  clean my oven.  I should buy oven cleaner.

Finally the last thing it does is lets me take it out of the oven and let it cool a little and then cut it up nicely without just making a huge mess all over the place.  Also it helps to grip easier with the oven mitts so I don't burn my hands or anything.  Previously I would use like 2 spatulas and try to balance it and then put it on a cutting board that was half the size of the pizza and move it around as I cut it... it was just no good at all.

This thing is the best.  I'm a fan.  I probably should have bought one when I first moved in!  I don't know why I waited so long.

Oh also... I THINK it can double as a cookie sheet and I can make cookies on it.  Not that I ever make cookies.  But I just might try that!  Why not?

Anywho yes tonight has been just great.  I just love being able to relax with some yummy dinner and something good to watch.  I think since I'm super tired I'm going to turn in and head to bed.  It's not even 10pm on a Saturday night and I'm going to sleep!  But in my defense I did get up early for work and work all day!  And tomorrow I get to sleep in!

So remember... don't forget the pizza pan!  It's soooo worth that extra couple bucks.  Who knew a little piece of aluminum or whatever it's made out of could be so useful?  Mmmmm non-"almost burnt" pizza... soooooo much more tasty than how I was cooking it before just straight on the rack.
