Cooking with stoneware has been around sense man discovered fire. Early man would heat up flat stones in the fire and cook on them. When man started to farm and settle in one place, they needed to evolve their cooking methods so the stone fireplace was born. Clay and stone cookware were what was used before people knew how to forge metals. Once metals were being used in almost every house, stoneware went out of favor with most people. However, with resurgence in everything old stoneware is making a huge comeback. Pampered chief is only one of the companies that sell stoneware. You might have seen pizza stones but there is more than that. Casserole, bread and muffin pans are just a few of the possible cookware you can get.
Some pizza facts and triviaPizza types and pizza stylesAfter the yeast has proofed, stir in the other ingredients, following the recipe. You'll probably have to knead the dough a bit to mix all of the flour in, so that you have a smooth and dry mound of pizza dough. Be very careful about kneading the pizza dough---it is easy to knead in too much flour. As long as the dough isn't actually sticking to your fingers, it is OK.After experimenting with the different types of pizza pans and stones that are available, I have concluded that the one-ply pans with holes in them are the best. This helps to bake a crust that is nicely done on the bottom without being burnt, and yet leaves the dough nice a "chewy" in the middle. Depending on your preference for pizza dough, you can experiment by first baking pizza on regular cookie sheets. After that you can get inexpensive pizza pans at dollar stores or discount stores like Wal-Mart to continue to experiment until you find the pan you prefer.
Most of your high-end kitchen stores will have some stoneware, you can get stoneware from Pampered Chief, and you can even get it at discount stores. The difference is the quality of the stoneware. You are going to have to do some research to find what is best for you. If you want your stoneware to last a long time then you need the best you can afford. After you have done your research on stoneware, choose one pan and buy it you want to make sure that you like it if you like it then you can buy a set of them. You might even want to buy a set for a friend or family member. Believe me when I say they will love it. If you know a Pampered Chief consultant then you can ask them all about their stoneware.
