This pan has become a staple in my cooking. It’s great for Detroit style pizzas, but also perfect for focaccia, lasagna, cinnastix, mac and cheese w/perfect edges, enchiladas, and much more! They also have a really great utilitarian/rugged look that I find appealing.Some pizza styles are difficult to truly replicate at home, such as NY style, because you need expensive speciality equipment (like a pizza oven that can hit 700+ degrees), but with just this pan and a standard oven you can meet or exceed the best pizzas Detroit has to offer (I lived in Michigan for awhile and have tried them all!). I have tried using a cast iron skillet and cake pans before in a pinch, and they just don’t compare.Here are some tips I’ve learned for the perfect Detroit pizza:Use freshly grated cheese (I like Wisconsin brick) for the perfect frico (dark edge). Some people say to cut cheese into small cubes but in my opinion it doesn’t come out as good. Be generous and load up those edges, dark doesn’t mean burned!Par-bake the dough for ~5 mins before adding the cheese. This gives you a more stable surface with a better texture, and less chance of flattening.Optionally, use a cast iron griddle. I use a Lodge 9.5 x 16.75 griddle (flat side) and it perfectly fits two 8 x 10 Lloyd pans. Preheat the griddle for at least 30 mins at 475-500 (I prefer 475) either on center or one level lower. The even heat will give you an amazing bottom crust.These pans are reasonably non-stick, but if you really want the perfect edges then I prefer a nice coating of light olive oil. Any oil will do (avocado is great for neutral), but light olive oil will impart a nice flavor without becoming cloying.I love these pans and am always looking for an excuse to use them! The lids aren’t essential, but they are nice to have, unfortunately the lids don’t come with the pans, which means for pan + lid you’re looking at ~$50-60, but it’s still worth it, these are very nice quality and are designed to handle heavy use.
