I decided I should expand from making just curries and pilafs. So I looked into getting a pizza stone but then found out the silly things break all the time. So I researched around and got a “Baking Steel<\/a>” pizza platter. This uses steel’s superior thermal conductivity and heat capacity over ceramic to help vaporise and expand the water pockets in the pizza crust and product a light, fluffy and crusty base. Apparently that notorious IP troll Nathan Myhrvold<\/a> figured this out and wrote it up in his ridiculously expensive Modernist Cuisine<\/a><\/em> cookbook. Anyway, the pizzas cook within literally 4-6 minutes of entering the oven, they fluff up appropriately, and the results look pretty good:<\/p>\n
