Anyone ever heard of this? She's a PC junkie, swears it's PC, has had it for a few years and says it has a 'lip' around the outside of it so when she rolls out her pizza crust on it with her old PC wooden roller it kind of 'automatically' makes a nice rim around it because of the 'lip' :confused:
 
I have never heard of PC having one of these but it would be a cool idea in the future!!
 
This might sound dumb but is she talking about the small round stone??:confused:
 
The only thing I can think of is the Bar Pan. I've been selling for almost 2 years and buying for a lot more than that and don't remember a round one with a lip.
 
I'm thinking she's thinking of the bar pan... ????
 
Small round stone or Deep Dish Baker come to mind.

That's what I thought and I had it and showed it to her but she said 'nope, it's just like the round stone you're making the ring on right now'. And except for the newer stuff in the last year she had almost everything in the catelog.

Thanks all for the reassurance I"m not losing my mind! ;) I've been with PC just over 2 years, and bought for many years before that and didn't remember a ROUND stone with a lip. At first when she said her favourite was the round one with a lip I said oh, big or small? Oh, you mean the deep dish baker? Then the story began....
 
I have a old stone - over 10 years old. It doesn't have a "lip" but it is designed differently than our current round stone. It has a different edge. When I got my new stone with my kit, I thought "oh, this looks different/weird to me" The new one is more square/smoothed off on the edge. My old one is rounded. I hope that makes sense - doesn't help with the lip question though!

It sounds like your customer is talking about the older, unglazed deep dish baker. It had a "lip"/edge (about and inch high). It wasn't nearly as deep as our current deep dish baker. I would keep an eye on the outlet... Donna
 
I think she has a rogue stone and is confused about where she got it. :)

sounds like the bar pan to me, does she have the small round stone? It has a curved edge not neccessarily a "lip"
 
If she got it at a party here is Canada she might have gotten it at a Home & Gift party. They do have those kind of stones.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pizza stone with a 'lip'?

A pizza stone with a 'lip' is designed with a raised edge that helps to contain the dough and toppings, preventing spills and allowing for a more even cooking surface. This feature can help achieve a perfect crust by providing better heat retention and distribution.

How does using a pizza stone with a 'lip' improve my pizza crust?

The lip on the pizza stone helps to create a barrier that keeps the dough in place, allowing it to rise properly without spilling over. This results in a thicker, more evenly cooked crust that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Can I use a pizza stone with a 'lip' for other types of baked goods?

Yes! A pizza stone with a 'lip' can also be used for baking other items like bread, pastries, and even casseroles. The raised edge helps contain ingredients and ensures even cooking, making it a versatile addition to your kitchen.

How do I care for my pizza stone with a 'lip'?

To care for your pizza stone, avoid using soap or detergent, as it can absorb flavors. Instead, scrape off any food residue with a spatula and rinse with water. Allow it to dry completely before storing. Regular seasoning can also help maintain its non-stick properties.

Are there any specific tips for using a pizza stone with a 'lip'?

Preheat the stone in the oven to ensure it reaches the right temperature before placing your pizza on it. Use a pizza peel to transfer the pizza onto the stone, and avoid overloading it with toppings to prevent spills. Experiment with different dough recipes to find what works best for you!
