AlimOzturk Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Popped into asdas for some bits and pieces and noticed the Asda cafe now sell freshly made pizzas. I have always been a fan of asda pizzas but these were tremendous and the deal is brilliant. A 16 inch pizza, 4 sides (chicken strips, Jalapeno bites ect) portion of fries or wedges, big bottle of juice and a large tub of benn and Jerry ice cream -£15 Would cost more the double at Pizza Hut and it is better imi. All ready in under tens mins as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can get a pizza here for around 12€ (basic Marguerite is about 9 or 10). If we cross the border into Italy we’re talking under 10€!

Mines always a struggle unless its caked in flour which isnt the nicest when eating it. Put the pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven (always a cold oven, prevents it cracking) Then heat it at 350 - 400 degrees C) Buy a pizza paddle. Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza paddle before putting your pizza dough on to stop it sticking. Put pizza sauce/toppings and cheese on, bit of garlic/chilli oil and place it on top of the hot pizza stone. Should slide right off of the pizza paddle Do not overload the pizza with cheese as that can prevent the dough from crisping properly. Edit to add..let the pizza stone cool down in the oven to prevent it from cracking. Edited November 15, 2019 by AlimOzturk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highlandjambo3 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I think the days of the Pizza Hut/pizza express/dominoes are numbered........big supermarket chains are under cutting them till they pop. Not sure is that’s a good or bad thing, as when the competition goes they can then hike up their prices........big supermarkets are happy to make a loss (or very little profit) on these items as they would expect you to buy one or more additional items you hadn’t planned to buy on your visit. How often have you walked out of one of the big supermarkets with just the 1 item? look at Tesco new enhanced club card offer.....£7 quid a month (I think) gets you a pile of extra rewards (unsure what they are) but, you can only spend up to £200 on a shop and, you can only do this shop twice a month. Their sales pitch here is limiting you to a £200 spend twice a month, in your mind you instantly think it’s a bargain because it’s limited and guess what, off you pop to Tesco every month to spend £400 to justify your £7 rewards card spend......mad ain’t it.

highlandjambo3 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Anyway for cooking, remember most domestic ovens are fairly crap, unless you have shelled out about a grand for yours. 1. Turn the thermostat up a bit higher than what the instructions say. 2. Make sure the oven is hot and the tray you are cooking on is as high as it can go in the oven. 3. Get a pizza cutter and score through the pizza a couple of lines (the same way you’d slice it after it was cooked), don’t seperate the wedges or slice the pizza to deep, just score them. Randomly jab a fork through the pizza to aid cooking through and, that’s it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Never had one of these since I bought one a couple of years ago.
