our ny bakes in fl last year were near inedible. the bottom was way under since there is no bottom heating element in our oven. however, my last couple of detroit bakes have been encouraging, so i consulted with Chau on a strategy that while not perfect, looks promising.
i preheated 1/4 inch steel on 2nd rack to 550 for 30 mins, turned on broiler for 10 mins, dialed temp back to 550 and launched on a screen, placed on steel for 5 mins and then slid directly on to steel for another 5 mins. maybe one rack down next time.
as usual, chau has all the answers...
