New Cutter Pizza Pans From Lloyd Pans

Posted by on
Well, well, well.  Look at what showed up over the weekend at our house.  That's three brand new, pre-seasoned, permanent-coated 14" cutter pans for Chicago-style thin crust pizzas.  If you are looking for your own set, you can find them here.  I will caution you that they actually manufacture your pans and don't have them in stock.  Really.   Like it took a month to get them.  I first heard about Lloyd Pans and their cutter pans on the PizzaMaking.com forums.   Same place that I sourced my Detroit-style blue steel pans that I've put through their paces over the past four-ish years.

This is part of the email I had with the Lloyd Pans customer representative - who couldn't have been nicer.
We are the manufacturer of the pans you see on our website. We build them here in Spokane, WA so these will be "hot off the press" for you! :) 
We are booked heavily in production right now, but are running extra shifts to get the work out sooner if possible so your order will likely ship earlier.
When the pans arrived, they also included this how-to guide for dealing with/cleaning/storing the pans.  I bought the pre-seasoned ones and you'll note that they're NOT REALLY dishwasher safe and that you should still use a little bit of lube on the dough.  If you click the photo below, you'll get a bigger version of the instructions.

A little bit of spilling the beans here:  I used one of the pans this weekend for a test run and it cooked the dough really nicely.  Probably a bit too nicely.  The bottom was a bit too overdone but that's likely because I put the rack low in the oven and it was too close to the heating element.  A full post on that pie and this new pizza 'quest' another day.

Today?  If you're into cutter pans, go with the best:  Lloyd Pans.

Lou Malnati's Salad Dressing Recipe as Published in the 60's

Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe.  The Tribune reporter called it "prized".  We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd.  I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs.  And they were dirt cheap.  The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces.  We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage...

Overwintering Disneyland Roses With Leaf Mulch - Floribunda Roses - December 2024

Posted by on

Yesterday, I posted photos of how I'm attempting to overwinter some Dahlia tubers in the ground and in a couple of those pics, you might have peeked at the chicken wire cages next to the piles of mulch on the dahlia tubers.  Those chicken wire cages are full of fallen leaves and are set on top of the three Disneyland Rose crowns along the southside of our house. See below for a couple of photos showing how I set up the ring of chicken wire and filled it with mulched-up leaves: These roses struggled this year, so here's hoping this little bit of extra Winter protection is going to help them get through the cold.
