LloydPans10x2.25 Chicago Style Pre-Seasoned PSTK, Self-Stacking Deep Dish Pizza Pan, 10x2.25 inches, Dark Gray

First time using these pans for pan pizza, and they came out perfect! The crust was perfect! I wish I would have bought it a lot sooner.

Perfect for Chicago pizza.

LloydPans sind zwar wirklich sehr teuer, aber einzigartig in der Qualität. Absolut kratzfest, hohe Wärmeleitfähigkeit, hohe Temperaturbeständigkeit und bei richtiger Benutzung backt nichts an.

I bought this 10 inch Lloyd pan to make Lou Malnati style Chicago deep dish pizzas, and it did not disappoint. The photos are of a 12 inch sausage and cheese Malnati style “Chicago Classic” pizza. I also bought the 12-in version of this pan and both have performed with aplomb.I've been making pizzas of various types at home for many years, but didn't have a pan specifically for making Chicago deep dish pizzas. Cake pans never really hit the mark, so a commercial grade pan was on my short list.While some will use ordinary cake pans for making deep dish pizza, there is no substitute for using the correct pan for the type of pizza that you are trying to make. For occasional pan or deep dish pizzas, a cake pan will work, but when trying to replicate those iconic Chicago deep dish style pizzas, a commercial pan is necessary. While the Lloyd pans are pricey, for me they are worth it and I know that I will be using them often. To make commercial quality pizzas, a commercial grade pan is part of achieving that.Many, if not most Chicago deep dish pizza establishments use commercial grade, shiny aluminum pans, and those are also excellent. They also cost a lot less than these Lloyd pans. Commercial grade aluminum bakeware is thicker than most consumer versions, and thicker is better for baking.However, those shiny commercial aluminum pans work best when they are seasoned with several pizza bakes and uses, so that they become darker and bake more evenly. That takes a lot of effort, time, and pizzas that don’t quite hit the mark until the pans are where they should be. It was worth the extra money for me to buy this pan that would work and deliver great results on the first use out of the box, and it did.Over the years I have bought many Lloyd items. In addition to this one, I also have the 10 inch version. I also own two 10x14 inch pans for making Detroit style pizza, two 10x1 inch pans for making South Shore style cafe/bar pizza, and two Lloyd pizza screens one at 16 inches, and one at 12 inches.All my Lloyd pans are commercial grade aluminum that were manufactured with Lloyd's Pre-Seasoned Tuff Kote (PSTK) process, and have performed flawlessly over the years. I've even used the 10x14 pans for making cakes and desserts, casseroles, mac and cheese, and pot roasts. That 10x14 size is quite versatile.While the Lloyd pans are at the high end of the pizza pan price range, I learned long ago, that if you buy quality, you only cry once. For me, they are absolutely worth the price if you know that you will be using them often, and want them to last many, many, years.

Tried a pizza when in Chicago in the fall and had to try and replicate it as it was so frikkin awesome. pan works exactly as needed, no sticking at all. pizza turned out crispy and delicious.
