When cooking a made from scratch pizza will this handle 500 degrees like a pizza stone?

I've never baked a pizza on this pan at 500 degrees nor would I recommend it. It's best to go with a pizza stone at that temperature.

Haven't made a pizza from scratch on it, but have baked items at 500 degrees without any problem. Hope that helps. I've had mine for awhile now and use it all the time...still looks like new.

I use it with a Blackstone Pizza Oven running a stone temperature of 800 F and it works fine. I take care not to allow the cloth to touch the stone but it has briefly, and it didn't seem to negatively affect the "conveyor". Making Neapolitan pizzas, where the dough is pretty wet, I can't imagine any other peel being able to launch as quickly and as smoothly as the Super Peel.

I've used it over my BBQ and measured the temp with my infrared thermometer at 900 degrees. The pan suffered no damage whatsoever, but the pizza was toast :-D. I've also preheated it in a 550 degree oven and got the pan to reach over 600 degrees dozens of times. No issues of any kind. I've since moved on to 1/2" thick A36 steel for baking pizzas just to get more thermal mass and heat transfer, but cast iron does fine if you know how to work with it.

I have a 12 l/2 inch round pizza pan that fits in the oven and the standard pizza just fine. Like the previous responder, I haven't gotten the oven to achieve the 400 degree or 425 degree temperature recommended on the pizza box. This is something I definitely will experiment with, however, since cooking it longer in the sun oven might achieve the needed results--not sure it would give a crispy crust, however. I have had good success cooking meats in the sun oven, so I believe that cooking the pizza longer and using a cooking thermometer to assure doneness and food safety could produce good results. So, this is something I will experiment with the next time I bake a pizza.

My experience with pizza at home is that you want the stone as hot as possible so i've always heated them up about 30 minutes, on the grill and in the oven before I got this. The grill does seem to heat the box up to super hot temps quickly so I bet you can experiment and get away with shorter...

550 is the temperature that I have used to make the last 200-300 pizza's. making your own dough is easy. Every time, I preheat the pan to 550 and prepare dough and toppings on a parchment paper, them slide the pizza and paper onto the pan. In 2 minuets the paper can be snatched out and the pizza will cook to perfection in about 8 minutes a or so. I have had pizza almost every day for years. This pan works the best and Has never cracked like every other one (several) I tried.

I'm sure you could but if you're making a pizza then pizzas are always around 400 degrees never 600 as that would be too hot.

Not sure about that. Don't have the packaging anymore. But, it is a pretty thick and solid pan, so I would think it could withstand the heat. The only question is how long you would leave the pizza in at that temperature.

I have it to at 450 many times with no effect on the material so I'm pretty sure 500 would be fine. The only thing I can say somewhat negative is that it will turn a pewter color if you wash it in the dishwasher but that had no effect on it's performance. Very little sticks to the metal and the pizza slides right off when done. You will like this pan!

If it fits in your oven it works fine. Assemble the pizza on a paddle with cornmeal then slide it onto the stone to cook. This is an ordinary pizza stone so follow the directions that you find on the web. For a simple example see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrEmMXSgRmU

I Heat mine at 500, and use it in the oven only. If you are using it for baking a pizza, heat the stone for an hour and you will get a better pizza. Bake the pizza for 10 to 15 mins. This info comes from the American Test Kitchen.

I'm pretty sure that pizza stones are very resilient to high heat. I've most often used mine at 425' for pizzas.

Mine stays in my oven at ALL times--including when it's on Broil at 500 degrees, and I always preheat it when doing pizza.

No, it'll be more prone to breaking. To properly use a pizza stone you need to put it in the oven then start preheating it so it doesn't break. i usually make the pizza on parchment paper and put that on the stone. comes out with a great crust and hardly any clean up.

Mine has never done that. Was the stone preheated in the oven or grill? Not sure if that would explain it, but I keep mine in the grill at 500 F for 30 minutes before putting the pizza on.

I've put it in an oven of 425-450, but never at 500. Hope this answer helps.

I think that would be tough. I have gotten mine to 500-600 degrees. Possibly in the hot summer months but the manufacturer doesn't recommend taking it above 700 degrees. Check out this page: http://pizzaoven.ecoque.com/faq.html
