How to get a cracker-crust!!
« on: May 21, 2012, 07:32:37 PM »
Hello there,

My name is Haman from Ottawa.
I have recently purchased a middleby marshall conveyor oven and now I need help to get it to cook the pizza that I'm interested in.

The Pans that I have purchased are half inch deep aluminium.

I would like to get a thin-cracker-crust cook.

If anyone has anyone suggestion that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

We need to know a couple of things:
1) Are you using a cracker type dough?
2) How are you opening the dough into pizza skins?
3) How is your oven setup? (top finger profile, bottom finger profile, temperature, bake time)

Hi Tom,

I'm very new to this business.
I still haven't got to the part of making the dough.
I need someone to help me with that, in other word I need a mastermind who can help out with this process.

The oven is double stack, 2 top fingers and 4 bottom fingers!
I'm not too sure what the profile of the finger is. How do I measure that?

Thanks.

Heman;
Your best bet will be to contact the manufacturer and get their directions for removing both the top and bottom finger panels. The outer sleeve is the one that you can see when you look inside of the oven and the actual finger profile is established by the sleeve that fits inside of that panel. You're going to have to pull them off periodically anyways to clean them, so you might just as well begin on that leg of the journey now. DO NOT get the position of the panels or insert sleeves mixed up. They must go back into the same position that they were removed from. A good idea is to lay the panels and sleeves out on the floor or bench top and photograph them with a sign to identify as top or bottom. This way if they should ever get mixed up you can refer back to the photograph for correct installation.

Tom,
Here is the bad news :-\
We had cleaners come in last week to clean our equipment and I believe they have taken out the fingers but im not sure if they have put them back in the same order they took them out.
I called them yesterday and they said that they have put them back the same way they took them out but I can't trust that.
Is there a way to check if they have put them back in same order?
Thanks.
