Long Pizza Pans - For Double Frico Edge Squares

Posted by on
A few weeks back, I saw in Adam Kuban's Instagram Stories (he's the "OG pizza blogger" that I've posted about from time-to-time) that he had purchased some new pans from Lloyd's Pans that included a long/thin pan that had a pretty unique shape.  I think...he then included a 'repost' (is that what we call them on Instagram?) of a story from TheKitchenWhisperer.Pizza where she was talking about how she was using similar pans.  Here's one of her posts.  And if you look at her feed, there are a bunch.  This one appears to be when she first acquired the pans.    Here's one of a full topped pie below:

Thanks to Adam's story - and the fact that he bought these long pans tooo - I first went and followed TheKitchenWhisperer.Pizza on Instagram...and *then* went to Lloyd's to look for pans.  I have bought my "Chicago Thin" pans from Lloyd's - with their PSTK finish (Pre-Seasoned Tuff-Kote) and have been really happy with them.  Here's a post from 2016 showing off my new (back then) circular pans.   Peep this 'about us' page to learn more about Llyod's - who manufacturers their pans in Spokane, Washington.

It didn't take me long to find these "Long Pans" as Lloyd's Pans calls them.  My brain goes right to thinking of a frico edge on two sides of EVERY piece - and that seems like it would be a crowd pleaser.  Everytime I make my Detroit-style pizza, people glom-on to the frico edges/corners.

They call that out in the product description:
Ideally suited for mouth-watering Sicilian or Detroit style crust recipes, Long Pan Pizzas are meant to be shared with those whom you love.
Lloyd's Pans sells three sizes:  12" x 4".  18" x 4".  And 27" x 4".  The 18's were the best fit for our oven.
And, Nat and The Babe have been getting into bread baking.  I think that these could be nice baguette pans, no?  Either on their own or by stacking one on top of the other to make a quasi-dutch oven?

When these arrive, I'll put them through their paces.  I'm thinking of a bake-off between my quarantine pizza (butter crust) and my more traditional Detroit-style pizza with pan lube.

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.
