Culinary specialists use special devices to prepare some dishes. With their help, it is possible to obtain a product that best meets the requirements for it. This is exactly what a pizza mold is.
Convenient fixture
Invented by the Italians at one time, the product very quickly became popular all over the world. Now in every city you can find a specialized cafe, where a professional chef will prepare delicious flavored pizza. The recipe for its preparation is well known. But to do everything right, first of all, you need a special form for pizza.
Nowadays it is not difficult to purchase such a device. Similar products are sold in many hardware stores. Before you go shopping, you need to understand what a real pizza mold should be. There are several criteria by which to make a choice:
- Material. Usually, aluminum is used for manufacturing, but sometimes cast iron is also found.
- The form. By tradition, it should be round. This is exactly what the Italians came up with.
- The size. The diameter of the product depends entirely on the choice of the hostess. The main thing is that it matches the size of the oven. As a rule, this is not more than 16 centimeters.
- Manufacturer. It is better, of course, if the pizza mold will be some famous brand. This will be an additional guarantee of its quality.
Having decided on the choice, you can safely get to work.
Design features
Many people think that making pizza is easy, even without being a great specialist. Indeed, the cooking technology is relatively simple. The main role here is played not by components, but by equipment. It is necessary that the workpiece is well baked, and for this a pizza mold with holes is useful.
Most often, housewives use solid disk products. It is believed that it will be easier to maintain shape. But there are several nuances that many well-known manufacturers take into account. Firstly, when stamping products, several holes are immediately made on it. Perforation is used to make the dough better bake and become a little crunchy. Secondly, to prevent sticking the mold on both sides using a non-stick coating. It is very convenient to operate. Cleaning and sanitation times are reduced. With such an original device, pizza is made quickly and it turns out very tasty.
All for convenience
Designers always design their models in such a way that they are convenient to use. Therefore, any pizza baking dish has slightly curved edges. This is mainly necessary in order to be comfortable moving it. After all, it is inconvenient to take a thin disk with a small side with your hands from a hot oven, even if you use mittens or gloves. In some forms, additional “ears” are provided for this. They play the role of pens, for which you can hold the item, even if it is very hot.
Over time, this part of the product was improved. Now on sale there are forms in which special pads made of silicone are made on the handles. This material does not conduct heat well and is therefore an ideal insulator. You can even take it with your bare hands. But in order to avoid a burn it is better to be safe anyway. A similar technology was mastered by many well-known manufacturers. Of course, it’s clear to everyone that every housewife needs high-quality and convenient utensils.
