4.0 out of 5 stars Measure your oven first!!, December 12, 2002

This review is from: AirBake Ultra by T-Fal Insulated Nonstick 15.75-Inch Perforated Pizza Pan (Kitchen)

This is a lovely pie pan, its teflon coating looks very very good and slippery. The holes which make it air bake I would think would make delightful crisp crusts, but I warn you shopper, measure your oven first. I have a smaller older oven and this pie pan will not fit. So unless you have an oven measuring greater than 16" wide, you'll need to go smaller in your pan. This pan is a good weight and sturdy, not a flimsy pan and does not have any exposed metal (that hasnt been teflon coated first) which means it will last a good long time. Unfortunately I will have to be returning this to Amazon[.com]

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST pizza pan, April 26, 2005

This review is from: AirBake Ultra by T-Fal Insulated Nonstick 15.75-Inch Perforated Pizza Pan (Kitchen)

I received this for a wedding gift and I now make pizza about once a week. My husband and I love that the pan is perforated. Not only does it allow for even cooking, but it gives the crust an amazing texture. One reviewer complained that it was difficult to clean sauce and crust out of the holes. There is a simple solution...lightly spray the pan with cooking spray before putting the crust on. All food will come right off when cleaning. Also, to cut down on any messes such as crumbs falling through the holes when cutting the pizza, I just place the pan on top of a towl. This allows for quick and easy clean up. All in all, this is a wonderful pizza pan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Crisp evenly-baked crusts, not soggy., September 4, 2005

This review is from: AirBake Ultra by T-Fal Insulated Nonstick 15.75-Inch Perforated Pizza Pan (Kitchen)

The perforations in the pan ensure that pizza crusts will be crisp and evenly baked, not soggy. The double-layer metal also helps to ensure even baking. My favorite pizza pan! It is lightweight and easier to handle than a pizza stone.

This pan is the best, whether making pizza from scratch, or with a kit, or even baking a FROZEN store-bought pizza.

The nonstick surface works well. I wash it off with a Dolbie sponge. Bits of melted cheese, from around the edge of the pizza, can fall into the perforations. I use a toothpick, to get any remaining gunk out of the perforations.

I own both the nonstick and regular uncoated versions of this pan. When using the non-stick version, my rolling pizza cutter scratched the surface a little with my heavy-handed use. It would be best to remove the pizza from the pan before slicing it, but I don't have any scratch-resistant platters that are wide enough for an extra-large pizza.

The 15-3/4 inch pan does not fit in my dishwasher. I sometimes soak it in the sink, even though the label warns about the risk of getting water trapped between the 2 layers. The pan is aluminum and does not rust; however there could be a safety risk if there is still a LOT of water between the layers when you go to use it again, and put it in the oven, there could conceivably be hot steam coming out when you go to take the pan out of the oven. During 5+ years of ownership, I have not experienced water getting trapped between the layers, even though I haved soaked it in a sinkful of water. If it were a problem, I would think about getting thick oven or BBQ mitts with a water-resistant outer layer (suede maybe?)

Despite these minor drawbacks, this is still my favorite type of pizza pan. I am hoping to get a smaller pan, like 10-12 inch diameter, to add to my collection.
