<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">Had a friend make me up four custom aluminum pizza pans; two can be cooking and two ready to go. Set the stove temperature for 350°F, first cook the dough for five minutes. Note the bottom rack is hotter than the top rack so I swap pizza location halfway through cooking times. Once the dough has cooked for five minutes the sauce and toppings go on next. I cook the pizzas for about 15 to 20 minutes (time will vary depending how many topping you have), take care not to leave the pizza on the bottom rack too long as it will burn the crust. The fun part with a group is having each person make their own pizza.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">I agree with doing practice runs before you try it out in the field. I use baking gloves as it is easier to move the pans around quickly.</font></p>
<p><font face="Calibri" size="3">Used the oven to cook many different things and is ideal for group cooking.</font></p>

<p>Great report. Love the Bemco. I used it on a five day trip last season and it was so nice having pizza as well as fresh cornbread to go with the chili. It is easier than one would think once you do a couple practice runs.</p>
