Any reason you couldn't just turn a cast iron skillet over and bake a pizza on the bottom--assuming you have a pan large enough for a pizza?

I use my 12 inch cast iron skillet to make deep dish pizza. The crust always turns out great and I make gluten free.

You can do anything you want when you bake a pizza but you will not get the same results as you would if you had and used a Lodge Pro-Logic P14P3 Cast Iron pizza pan. I've used mine a dozen times on my outdoor grill and it is wonderful. The Lodge Pro-Logic P14P3 Cast Iron pizza pan distributes the heat excellently. I wish Lodge made a Cast Iron pizza pan in a larger than the 14 inches size.

No reason that you can't...however, why flip it...just build it in the cast iron skillet and take advantage of your already built-up seasoning. The negative is size. Most skillets are much smaller than the pizza pan.

I've done it and it works just fine, the only negative factors are the size (ie, I don't have a 14-inch skillet) , and it's a little unwieldy when the pan handle is flush against the level of the oven rack. The two handles on this pan are nice.

I don't see why not,,I think the bottom side would be good for doing burgers also.. 2 in 1 pan ??

There is no reason that it wouldn't work. However, one does not typically season the outside or underside of a cast-iron pan. Any time you cooked pan-side up...you would burn off the underside seasoning.

I don't see why not, however you are right in that the size would be an issue for a full-size pizza.

No because whatever is put in the pan cooks fast. Tried doing buscits and the bottom burned. It does not matter how low you set the oven.

I wouldn't. The fuel is on the same surface that you cook on, and you'd likely end up with charcoal in your food. Plus charcoal is unlikely to get the oven up to the high temperatures usually associated with making pizza and so on.

I do all the time and have turned out some awesome bread in my cast iron. I also have a killer "Pizza Hut" style pan pizza that I bake a 550. It's really is amazing the bread you can make in these babies.

Yes you can. But let it heat up first before putting your dough or pizza to prevent sticking.

Sorry, I have never used one to cook pizza. I'm a steak and tatters kind of girl. And iron skillets work wonders that way.

I wouldn't recommend it. An aluminum pizza pan is made for that purpose. Try ablekitchen.com for pizza pans as low as $3.00 each. Also get a "pizza screen" to let pizza cool a little and prevent crust from getting soggy.

We have a gas oven, and use it on the lowest rack. I think they don't want you to put it on the floor of the oven so that it doesn't block the natural convection currents in the oven. You may get uneven heating if you do that.

You can just buy the pizza oven, but it requires an double burner cooktop , I have a different brand double burner that I use and it works great

I bought this pan for a gift so I have not actually used it myself. It was very nice quality - but I would say no...this is definitely an oven roaster. While the pan was heavy....I just feel like direct heat on the bottom would cause whatever you were cooking to burn. I wouldn't do it!

Hi! The oven is capable of reaching 900F which is higher than what you need even for pizza. Best regards, Eugene.

I guess so. I don't know my oven by its serial numbers. But it's a great oven and the round pizza pan fits in. However, the bottom is always soggy so I prefer to heat my frozen pizzas in a large fry pan on the stove, with just a drop of olive oil to coat the bottom.

Not sure, but I think I get what you are asking. The pizza steel basically lives in your oven and would be too hot to smoosh out pizza on it. This kinda thing requires a floured (or corn meal dusted) pizza peel to transfer the pie from your counter to the oven, a scenario that wouldn't really work with oil. If you want oil in your crust, you can either mix it in or use a cast iron pan instead of the steel.

Technically you can, but it will not be as grilled or toasty. The panini press is a heavy iron grill and this is a thin flimay non stick grill.

Sorry, can't help. Bought it in hopes it would fit a square cast iron skillet we've had in the family for years - didn't fit, so, don't use it in the oven. crf

I just started making Pizza's in the oven. I have made 12''. It looks like you can make 2 at the same time.I really like the oven.

yes you can bake a pie in this but you have to use a lower temp and watch it often, the top will burn quickly, you can use your regular sized pie pan. I often cook pizza in mine, but I only do 2 or 3 slices at once, I like the edges crispy.
