ABSTRACT:
A pizza crust cooking utensil for use with a pizza crust batter to partially precook a pizza crust. The use of the utensil provides a more uniformly producible, less porous and more stable pizza crust which has better handling characteristics for home or commercial cooking, especially for cooking in a conveyor-type toaster or oven. The utensil includes two cooking plates which align to form a hollow cooking chamber in which the crust is formed as the batter is cooked. The invention is adaptable for use in a cooking appliance or a variety of ovens and has a transition region from the crust center to the rim to assure a well-defined rim and to stiffen the crust toward the rim for better handling. Channels extending between the center region to the rim area of the utensil enhance batter flow. Preferably, the generally planar center of the lower cooking plate is thicker to assure more complete, uniform and thorough cooking of the top surface of the crust.
