I agree on the pizzaz...that thing cures cancer.

Pizzaz! Not just for pizzas!! :P

Full size tatter tots?? 9-10 minutes
Mini-tater tots? 6 minutes
Hash browns?? 4-5 minutes
Fish sticks?? Knock off 2-3 minutes from what they suggest for the oven time. Same for fish fillet type thingys.

Let's not be hasty here, my friend.

Gortons, mr. paul, etc. have a multitude of pre cooked seafood products...as of now all we know is he has sticks down pat.

I'm not willing to go out on a limb and say he has mastered: classic crunchy golden filets, garlic & herb filets, potato crunch filets, lemon herb breaded filets, popcorn shrimp, etc.

Point made. And we know nothing of the mastery of the pot pie or frozen burrito either. And let's not even bother moving up two feet to the stove top, home of the ramen, mac & cheese and canned soup. Chef Boyardee, you may have met your match.

Mac n cheese on the stovetop?

How quaint.

As for the stone, they are quite nice, but expensive. Save yourself some money and just buy some quarry tile. It's the same exact thing.

Make sure that it's not glazed, and it will cost you about 2 bucks instead of 30 for a pizza stone. Not to mention it will be square and a bit larger for other tasks. If you can't find a big enough slab, just get a few pieces.

I saw the same on Alton Brown's Good Eats. Where do you get the tile and precisely what do you look for?

[pasquale]

I got mine at lowes/home depot. I forget which one. You could also try a carpet/tile store.

Basically, just go and ask for unglazed ceramic tiles, aka "quarry tiles". It's slight misleading because I think of quarry as stone tiles, not ceramic. You are looking for tiles that have that clay orange type color. Mine is terracotta but they call it "quarry tile." Try to get something at least 1/2" thick (1" is ideal). JUST MAKE SURE IT'S UNGLAZED, otherwise it'll probably be toxic. Stay away from cement as well.

I'm sure you can order some online but I'm sure the shipping wouldn't be worth it.

Hope this helps.

Years ago I bought a pampered chef pizza stone, and the second time using it I had it in the oven preheating and the fuckin thing blew up. POS

Now, if/when I have a pizza, most of the time it's grilled

I actually finally looked at the bottom of ours and it's a pampered chef model via TJ Maxx.

sounds like that would work since it's clay, but it seems kinda high quality and expensive (just a guess). but that's the color you are looking for.

This was the best gift I've gotten in a while.

I've been using this pizza crust with organic whole wheat flour and whatever I can find around the house for the remainder of the ingredients. One thing that I do that isn't listed is really work the heck out of the dough. I kneed it as hard and as fast as I can for 10 minutes before I place it in the bowl to rise, and then again after. It really enhances the quality of the dough in my opinion.

I've been making this sauce. It's very good if you take the time to really cook down the onion and celery. Very flavorful and thick.

I then use Clement's italian sausage (support local companies), green pepper and pepperoni. I pre-cook the pepperoni and then wipe the oil off. This makes it really nice and crispy, just the way I like it.

The pizza stone results in AMAZING crust. It's so freaking good. I'm extremely pleased with this.
