Abstract

A pizza pan having a substantially flat bottom surface surrounded by an arcuate or concave peripheral wall which terminates, at its outer edge, in a tubular element surrounding the entire outer periphery of the pan. A plurality of relatively small apertures are provided on the bottom of the pan and are selectively spaced thereon to provide a sufficient flow of heat to the central portion of the underside of the crust for an efficient baking thereof. A sufficiently great solid area is provided around the perforated area for supporting the outer edges of the pizza in a manner whereby the transfer of heat thereto is reduced with respect to the heat transfer at the perforate area to assure an even baking of the entire pizza.
