Title: Cutting pizzas
Post by: Efrogwr on 28 November, 2017, 08:05:11 pm
A spin-off from the Christmas presesnts you wouldn't want to receive thread.

The best tool I've ever found for cutting pizzas is EMT scissors.

My life changed the day I discovered that you could use knives for cutting things. Previously I'd been using chair legs and feather dusters and frankly not having much luck.

Surely you still need to get a blade, albeit slim one under the dough?

Anyway, I used Sainsbury's kitchen scissors to disrobe my casualties an cut plaster bandages.

Preferred the longer blades.

A very sharp knife and the Pizza on some sort of chopping board. Or just order from some place that will cut it for you  :)

Edit: I'm really hungry now. I do like me a bit of Pizza!

A friend of mine works at a pizza (https://restaurantguru.com/pizza-near-me) restaurant and he said that the only right way to cut pizza is with a big knife, otherwise, you'll look like Marion Cobretti. This left me torn: I love Cobra but cutting pizza with scissors really is weird, at least to me.

After decades of Karaté at the highest level, I find that I do not need a knife.

A board underneath rather than a plate makes it easier. Plates dull knives, anyway.

My slightly off topic tip.
Taking your pizza out of the oven and placing it immediately onto a plate or board causes dampness and can lead to a soggy bottom.  Instead, place the pizza onto a cake stand, grill rack, or whatever for about 60 seconds before transferring to the cutting board.  Much better results.

Mrs Pcolbeck says that kitchen scissors are the only true way to cut pizza. I prefer a wheel or a knife but apparently I am completely wrong.

When I was a PSO working in the kitchen of a Pzza Hut in Embra, we had HBFO curved blades with a handle at each end. It would have had a cutting edge about 18 or more inches long.

You would just rock this over the pizza in one single motion.  It workrd so well I wish I'd snaffled one.

Ones I've seen for sale are much too small

If you're hungry enough, there's no need to cut a pizza

Folding is always an option.

Surely that would make it a calzone?
