Nordic Ware 16" Air Crisp Perforated Aluminum Pizza Pan, Set of 2

Overview

Baking on a perforated center lets hot air reach the underside of the dough in these Nordic Ware aluminum pans. Natural aluminum spreads heat evenly, and the oversized round shape handles large pizzas.

Two pans in the set let one bake while the other is topped, and the airflow holes aim at a crisper base. The limitation is care and oven detail: the pans need hand washing, and the listing states no temperature limit.

Who it's for

Pizza nights in a full-size oven, especially with two pies at once, make use of the pair. Cooks with a compact oven should measure first, and anyone wanting dishwasher cleanup should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Holes in the center let steam and hot air pass under the dough, so the base dries and browns instead of steaming. Aluminum conducts heat quickly and evenly, which reduces hot spots on the crust. Dough thickness and topping weight decide how crisp the middle gets.
