I have some pans with removable plastic handles. You just pull them off and put them in the oven (while wearing mits of course!)

Hi Darcy, That is a great point. You have to make sure you use an oven-proof pan. Cast Iron pans are a great choice because the pan holds the heat really well, and they are cheap!

Won’t the handle melt on most of the pans due to the plastic? Having a metal handle on a pan is simply primitive and aren’t really available to purchase. Good idea though. Is it possible to find a big enough rock and put it in your oven ha? Sounds silly i know but like you said people do go to great lengths to perfect a dish. Cheers

It is a pizza pan I got that is made out of soapstone. I never thought to heat it on the stove though so it would get extra hot.

I mean- replace in oven for 12 min. not 2 ;-) or however long your pizza takes to cook.

GREAT IDEA~~ Another idea is to preheat a cast iron dutch oven at about 450-500 for 45 min. Then, place your pizza inside and replace in the oven for 2 min. It creates a mini-pipin hot oven. I might give that a try for pizza.. It worked AMAzing for a crusty puluese loaf.

And so… what is that you are using in the final picture? It doesn’t look like cast iron, but I really want to believe that it is, so that I can buy that gorgeous pan from Lodge and get cracking!
