New Star Foodservice 50677 Commercial Reviews Summary

Crust Quality

Pros:

• "This keeps my pizza crust crispy and keeps cheese drips off the oven. Durable, easy to clean and store."
• "I like a crispy crust and it's virtually impossible following recipe directions with a pizza pan that blocks a lot of the heat needed to toast the dough so it's not the saggy pizza slice when you pick it up."
• "Much better for a crispy crust whether baking a pizza in the conventional oven, air fryer/toaster oven or on the grill. No stone or steel needed."
• "You end up with a really light, crispy pizza base and equal cooking on all sides."
• "The crispy bottom is excellent and I use these a lot."
• "I finally achieved a crispy crust throughout the whole pizza."
• "This pan greatly improves even baking."

Cons:

• "The mesh doesn't make crust any crunchier and it is definitely not nonstick."
• "The edges were crispy but the center was limp and spongy."
• "Our only complaint is that it is made out of rough expanded type aluminum which makes crust stick to it."
• "The pan that was shown on the website had the holes not a mesh grate."
• "It was too big to fit in my oven and the pizza dough got stuck to it."
• "I really wanted to like this because its the perfect size. It's just a cheap piece of aluminum though. Would not recommend."
• "The crust on my pizza was REALLY GOOD, PERFECT MAYBE."

Cleaning Ease

Pros:

• "The screens are fairly easy to clean."
• "Personally I haven't had any trouble cleaning them up."
• "I cook pizza in my Traeger and this works great. Crust is always crispy and super easy to clean."
• "It is sturdy and I use it in my halogen oven with a paper non stick sheet so it is no trouble to clean."
• "Easy to clean, if you spray it before you use it and soak it immediately in hot water with a little detergent for about 10 mins, cleans easily."
• "Cleanup is easy, just soak screen in the sink for a few hours and anything that's baked on comes right off with a dish brush."
• "I've had no issues with cleaning because the pizza releases easily."

Cons:

• "Product worked fine. Used it for pizza and the crust was crispy and great! The melted cheese on the mesh was horrible though. Tried to soak it, then clean it, and couldn’t get it clean enough. Ended up throwing it away after one use."
• "But definitely can get difficult to clean at times."
• "I've used pizza screens like this in the past, had moved and mine was lost. This looked like a decent replacement but is WAY less quality. Extremely difficult to clean."
• "Not east to clean."
• "I was excited to try this especially based on the reviews, but was severely disappointed with the dough getting stuck on it even after oiling it extensively 😞 it takes so long to clean that it’s not when worth using unfortunately."
• "Its VERY difficult to get cooked on items cleaned off."
• "Cleaning is tricky as it shreds my sponge."

Design and Build

Pros:

• "Seems well made."
• "It’s tough for me to launch my pizzas into an Ooni oven or my GMG with the pizza dome. I build the pizza on this screen, give it a minute or so and then use my metal pizza peel to take it off the screen and place it directly on the stone."
• "So far seems sturdy enough, but I wouldn't use it as a Frisbee."
• "Very sturdy and all aluminum."
• "They are super affordable, sturdy, and well made."
• "It fits into her toaster oven and gives a crisp crust and makes handling the Pizza easier."
• "It's very easy to clean and is super lightweight."

Cons:

• "Overall it’s a pretty good device for a decent price but I would suggest to do research to find a better design."
• "The grate piece itself ‘melted’ due to the hi heat of the butane."
• "I was concerned that this would be cheap, flimsy, and disappointing. I was wrong."
• "Flimsy piece of aluminum."
• "It clearly says in the specs. that it’s made in USA but it’s made in China!!"
• "The spacing permits things to get stuck between the layers and makes it impossible to clean."
• "However, it is flimsy."
