Just an update; made about 70 pizzas in brand new Lloyd Pans today. Pretty much all of them popped right out (unlike my older ones which don't seem to be as non stick as they used to be.) However, though i didn't have trouble releasing them from the pan, a few pans had some cheese that looked to be caramelized onto the side of the pan, and it didn't want to come off unless I dug at it.
Anyone else experience this?
I've had this happen too, Lou. It gets worse if you leave it on, as the spots where the cheese caramelized become problem spots in the long run after more uses as well if you don't clean em off pretty good. I know Lloyd has a recommendation of some type of commercial grade detergent they've tested that cleans the pans but doesn't impact the non stick... it comes with their packaging when you buy the pans. If you don't have it, I can find my old copy.
Btw, were you old pans Lloyd as well? I'm curious how many bakes until you start getting sticking problems...
