Hi,
haven't been here for a long time, too long, and I hope you're all doing OK.
Really got back into cooking in a big way a few months ago and brought some really nifty tools.
Anyway, I bought a pizza stone a month or so ago and really love it, but until today I'd only used it for supermarket pizzas, to which I added a lot of stuff.
After deciding to try it with a homemade base I did have the aforethought to go out and buy one of the big spatulas and in this case it's a wooden one that I pre-oiled.
So today, the oven was hot and the pizza was sitting on the counter top with all its toppings, and the first problem I had was getting it intact onto the spatula and that wasn't too difficult, but getting it onto the pizza stone was really difficult and it took two of us to do it.
So the question is,
"How do you move a fresh pizza from the spatula onto the hot stone without shooting all of the toppings all over the bottom of the oven?
Thanks for any advice,
Michael
