I'm Dad. I made these last night. I didn't carve the sandwich, I used a cookie-cutter-type thing.
Not to say mornings aren't without their challenges. The challenge this morning involved getting her to put socks on.
hard boiled egg molds
No. It's not. Some (cluless|lying) seller on etsy says it is, but it's not.
It's a cookie dough dropper:

My mother has one. Works better than a spoon, not as well as a disher.
Yeah I just found this one for 8 bucks on Amazon. And actually I was sort of wrong, OP is using this kit where you just cut the bread out and don't have squished edges. I like the squashy ones better.
Here's the colorful one I have.
Roughly $30

Yup. Five seconds on Google, and I found the exact cutter set
Edit: Oh god.....the more I look at them, the more I want a set for myself. And I'm a grown man.
:D I love Nordic Ware, they have awesome bundt cake pans. I got it because I wanted to have a cake that looked cool for once, I was very sick of my regular cakes and never felt fancy.
Here's a link (not affiliated link or anything, don't worry): https://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-Platinum-Collection-Heritage/dp/B0021CEREA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
I've done it. But you're going to need something bigger than one of those tiny cooking torches. I picked up one of these professional torches and some butane fuel to go with it.
Using a real culinary torch instead of a poor, tiny substitute makes a world of difference when searing a steak too.
Here you go for the Honeycomb. Nordic Ware are amazing and the cakes look great! Just got the square bunt at a closing Williams-Sonoma, one of their most famous one would be the swirling bundt pan.
I use the Lloyds Detroit pan. Amazon also has pre seasoned pans from Detroit Pizza Company for about $10 less, however I cannot attest to the quality. The Lloyds pan is recommended on pizza.com

Hello Beautiful Bombshells!
I see 1987 Members...not quite 2k as of yet. That was a good year :) The year I graduated high school and made the decision to move from Indiana to Florida.
I woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed at 5 am after hitting the sack at 9 pm and not waking up a single time during the night. Yahoooooooo! Thank you so much to all who responded to my frustration with explaining why I'm not starving myself to my husband. I sent him a long email explaining what was happening with my body and articles to back things up (thanks u/BRC_haus) that I was sent, as well as more that I found. I think he gets it now. Who knew it just took me explaining things? I guess we're never too old to learn over and over again that communication is the key :)
I also OMAD'ed yesterday. Dinner was Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast with Cauliflower Mash and Roasted Delicata Squash (roasted with butter, sugar free maple syrup, thyme, salt & pepper). It was not a pretty plate (or picture). but man was it damn tasty. I actually ate the fat on the beef and enjoyed it. Normally I spit it out and give it to my dog :D I also had a SlimFast Fat Bomb Snack of the Peanut Butter Cup, as well as a Pumpkin Pie Fat Bomb. I made the recipe (I got 24 fat bombs even though the recipe yields 12 because I used a smaller silicon mold) and froze them. Hubby hasn't really been eating them, so they'll last me for awhile :)
Today is hair day! I need a touch up on the purple so bad. It's faded to lavender and I can't wait until it's dark purple again. I hope ya'll have a wonderful Thursday and KCKO! XOXOXO
These are what I use

Here is the [recipe] (https://thedomesticrebel.com/2016/08/15/the-best-butterbeer-cupcakes/) I used. I tweeked it a little bit to my liking. I used a mold from [amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Cybrtrayd-A126-Protective-Copyrighted-Instructions/dp/B000EBMUNU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1511559193&sr=8-2&keywords=harry+potter+chocolate+frog+mold) and stuffed the dark chocolate frogs with butterscotch chips. I added bits o' brickle to the icing before placing the frogs on. Trying to make

Enjoy!
I've read that you shouldn't store your dabs in silicone long term as it can leech into it or something. You could just store it in folded parchment paper or a [glass container]().
14mm, 18mm, and 10mm are all the standard joint sizes that you attach your accessories to (bowl, nail, etc.). You just gotta match up the numbers and the male joints with female joints. You said you wanted the fab egg, so your nail would need a male 14mm joint.
From there, you just need to figure out which nail you want. Hymanquartz has a few that I would recommend: 4mm, 3mm, and thermal p bangers. He also has carb caps for the first two (thermal p comes with one), some of which have dabbers as part of it. Some other vendors like volcanee have 25mm bangers as well.
Here are some more carb cap (1, 2, 3, 4) and dabber (1, 2) options.
I would suggest getting a reclaim catcher (1, 2, 3) or a dropdown (1, 2). Not really as necessary if you're getting the thermal p from what I've heard, but I still think it's good to have an extra piece of glass between your piece and your nail.
Oh, and you'll need a torch (1, 2) and butane, though I'm not quite sure which butane you should get.
Can't go wrong with this creme brulee torch!
I think it's this one:. https://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-Platinum-Collection-Heritage/dp/B0021CEREA
I meant to include my instructions earlier but didn't have time. I started with just a regular cardboard box, the thickness I wanted the final piñata to be. Then traced a ninja outline on it, based on some cookie cutters we have, so it was familiar in shape. To be sure the front & back were identical, I cut the front out first, folded the sides in half, and traced directly on the back panel.
It was just cut out with scissors, but leaving the side panels whole. That allowed me to use masking tape to fold the side panels into the ninja outline I had cut out. Wherever there was a lengthy gap (like along the inside of the legs) I just cut another panel the same width (i.e.depth) as the rest of it and taped into place. I left one half of the head untaped so it could be filled. Btw, since we have some food allergic kids coming, it's mostly filled with dollar-store toys, stickers, and balls. The only candy is a few ring pops. :-)
I used one layer of papier mâché along the seams and all surfaces, so it could be easily painted (easy recipe! 1c. flour, 1c. water, 1tsp salt; dip strips of newspaper in & stick! Allow to dry thoroughly).
The hanger needed to be strong, so I clipped the bottom off a wire hanger, bent it into shape (same size as the depth of the piñata), then poked it through the top of the head, secured it with tape and ran a bead of glue down the length of each arm.
Once the papier mâché dried, I gave it a coat of black acrylic paint, glued on a few strips of crepe paper streamers just for that piñata effect, and painted on the eye slit, eyes, and hand. Oh, and the sword (my son's favorite part!) is just a paper towel tube, flattened, with a layer of aluminum foil glued to the surface!
Hope these weren't TOO detailed. Let me know if you have questions!
TLDR: ninja is an old cardboard box, taped into shape with a single layer of papier mâché, then painted. Hung by a wire hanger.

Isn't this in the Frequently Asked Things? It's a cookie dropper.
I bought the Pizzacraft 14x14 steel and love it. Can't comment on differences in steel thickness. The idea of a steel is that it has very high thermal conductivity - it transfers heat FAST. So it doesn't necessarily need to hold onto heat, meaning thickness isn't that big a factor.
Anyway here's the bottom of one of my last pies.
Here's a profile view, so you can see the thickness of the browned layer
I use the steel on the very bottom rack and a pizza stone 2 notches above that.
I bought a banneton with a canvas liner which just happens to fit a glass bowl I already owned, so it was like getting 2 proofers for $11. I don't really care about the patterns.
Get on Amazon and buy some of these.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0001MS3DI/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1462935978&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=half+sheet+pan+and+rack&dpPl=1&dpID=41PBvlflBmL&ref=plSrch
And an equal number of these.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000G0KJG4/ref=pd_aw_fbt_79_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=18X6H5MZZ2GQTT8RGT0D
Put the one in the other and put whatever you're drying on the rack and put one on each rack in your oven. Set the oven to the lowest temp possible. Prop the door open with a wooden (not plastic) spoon and wait.
Ovens are usually a little hot for fruits to do well so you can go on for an hour, off for an hour, etc... Until it gets dry to keep from cooking as you dehydrate. Ovens work well for meats and jerkys as I feel most home model dehydrators don't get hot enough to dehydrate meat.
Also get one of these.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019DT4EBE/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?qid=1462936323&sr=8-17&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=mandoline+slicer
Makes uniform slices and you can julienne things like carrots and potatoes.
These really help for doing fruit as well.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00629K4YK/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1462936445&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=silpat&dpPl=1&dpID=41MTUhWaO%2BL&ref=plSrch
If you do something that's really sticky like pineapple or mango, put the slices on this in the sheet pan. You'll have to turn your pieces a few times but they'll make cleanup so much easier.
If you're gonna buy a dehydrator. Get this one.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001K246KW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1462936599&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=lem+dehydrator+10+tray&dpPl=1&dpID=51XOjbSNSdL&ref=plSrch
Has 10 trays, easy to clean, all stainless, and has a thermostat. It's pricey, but if you make all your meals for one or two trips instead of buying freeze dried, it will pay for itself.
I make all my meals for big trips for 4-6 people for 6+ days. Mine paid for itself the first trip.

You should invest in some silicone ice trays or brownie bite moulds ;) Unless those ARE silicone ones in which case you are already all set. Wayyyy easier to get stuff out and transfer to a freezer bag or other container. I've used these ones for baby food (would work great for pesto):

If you want really squared-off sides, you want something like this pan. I've got one, and it makes the slices perfectly square; the coating is extremely non-stick to the point where I don't even bother greasing the pan.

Here's the quarter sheet pan, and here's the wire rack! Pro-tip: get two wire racks, and a half sheet pan (2x the size), and you've got two sheets pans with wire racks to fit either!
EDIT: Whoops the above rack is a half-sheet rack! Here's a set of two quarter-sheet racks - thanks /u/abedfilms for pointing that out
I made them myself. Melting chocolates are relatively inexpensive (you can find them at most any craft store) and I ordered this mold off of Amazon.
Though you could try and of these also:Here, Or Here, Or these "sexy frogs," which actually kind of creep me out, lol.
The one I ordered used a LOT of chocolate.

Oh my god I'm so sorry about your puppy. ;_; a bajillion hugs I can't imagine that, I'd completely break down if I lost my dog.
I nominate /u/cats_and_vibrators for a wishlist item. She's amazing and I love her. She is always there for everyone, super supportive and caring. She deserves everything. Love you Maggie. <3
If I win I would love the kindle, I've had the paperwhite on my Maybe Someday... list for a while now. I love reading and having that would be amazing.
Congrats on the apartment! I love household-y stuff. You definitely need a good knife set!
And this awesome ice mold.
Mixing bowls are essential, and these are my favourite.
Cutest sushi service ever!
And for when you finally get a minute to relax, this bath oil would be perfect.
Thank you for the wonderful contest! I hope you have a really great week. :]
While they're a fantastic tool, a stand mixer is expensive. However, having a mixer on hand can be insanely useful. A decent handheld mixer can do the job for way less. Aside from that, these would be my suggestions.
1.) Knives. Get something decent and try to learn to keep them sharp. you don't need a huge knife block, 2 or 3 basics will do the trick. A small and large basic knife and a serrated knife will be plenty to start with. A set of basic cutting boards to go with these as well. Get more than one because you shouldn't cut raw meat on the same board as cooked meat or veggies and so on.
2.) Measuring tools. 1 set of measuring cups, 1 set of measuring spoons, 1 liquid measuring cup. I prefer metal for the first two and pyrex for the last. In my experience the numbers wear off the plastic ones pretty quickly and they stain. And yes you need all 3, liquids are measured differently than solids.
3.) Graduated mixing bowls. Pyrex are also great for these. I have this set and they have served me well.
4.) Pans. These really depend on what you want to do. If you want to focus more on cooking start off with a few basics. A larger stock pot, a sauce pan, one or two frying pans (i prefer to have multiple sizes) and some basic pans for the oven. A 13x9 metal or glass pan is a must have for me as well as an 8x8 or 9x9 square pan. If you want to bake as well you'll need to add cookie sheets and possibly a few more specialized items like muffin pans. Nonstick is sometimes frowned upon by chefs and cooks, but truth be told they're fine for most applications. Personally, I highly recommend against silicone pans. In my experience they smell foul and are a pain to clean.
5.) Utensils. Do not get the cheap shitty plastic set. Just don't. It's a waste of money. I cannot count how many cheap plastic spatulas I've thrown out because they melted or peeled or something. Go with silicone instead. You can use metal, but keep in mind metal tools+nonstick pans=scratched ruined pans. (This does not apply to spatulas used for things like stirring or spreading frosting btw, only to ones you will use on your stove). As for as what you'll need, I would suggest a set of wooden mixing spoons, and a set like this that includes the basic items; a normal spoon, a slotted spoon, a turner, and a pasta fork.
6.) Specialty utensils. Once again, these depend on what you want to do. Whisks are handy for a lot of things and a box grater comes in handy. A silicone pastry brush is nice for certain things and easier to clean than a normal one. A basic strainer was something I didn't realize how useful it was til I got it.
8.) Other Basics: Oven mits, towels, kitchen twine, tupperware in multiple sizes, egg separator, can/bottle opener.
9.) A basic cookbook. I'm a huge fan of this edition of the BH&G cookbook. On top of a lot of basic, fun recipes it includes a lot of extra information about tools, techniques, and some nifty tips and substitutions. I have a separate binder of my own recipes, but this is my most referenced cookbook.
What sorts of food are you hoping to learn to cook? I can expand on any of this depending on your interests.
I got some pretty good baking swag this year.
First up was a Kopykake. I will be making disgusting amounts of cookies over the next year putting this thing to the test.
A KitchenAid Architect was shocked to see it was the full set as these are stupid expensive.
Possibly my favorite gift for kitchen stuff this year was DrawerDecor which has finally made my drawers a non clusterfuck.
Steel prep table similar to this but not this model. Got it before Christmas but was told it was an early xmas gift.
Wire Shelving similar to this, but again not this model. Its 4' wide and each shelf can take 600. It freed up SO much room for me. I highly recommend more shelving for any of you guys/gals who have the room for it.
18" Magnetic Knife Strip, again more stuff out of shelves, off of counter tops etc.
Glass mixing bowls
Last but certainly not least, I finally got this cookie sheet from chicago metallic. Such a nice piece.
Now I think it is worth noting that I bake for a living, and that most people don't actually want a prep table or a 3' tall projector in their kitchen but damnit I love it! :)
The main theme for this xmas seems to be helping me get my kitchen to the OCD level needed in a professional kitchen. Not sure the missus loves the strict flow of kitchen as much as I do but man, it feels good and looks great.
While I prefer to deep fry mine, I use a wire cooling rack placed on top of a bakers pan / cookie sheet.
This works well with just about anything you put in the oven.
Do you have the DynoBytes Sandwich Crust Cutter???

I wanna get a blowtorch to use occasionally when making old fashioneds and other occasional cocktails, is there any reason not to A cheap one like this? Would there be a reason to go for a more expensive one? Like I'm thinking fire is fire either way but I don't know if there's a particular heat or something.
Brownies are easy to make, easy to portion, have enough butter to properly carry the THC & the chocolate helps cover up some of the flavor. They freeze well & are easy to wrap up if you're making big batch.
...and you can bake them in these things to make the portioning really consistent

I'm guessing they used some sort of square pan for these, like a pullman loaf pan.
Correct.
This is the exact pan I used: https://www.amazon.com/USA-Pan-Bakeware-Nonstick-Aluminized/dp/B002UNMZPI
I can't speak to the quality of the pan much as I have only used it three times. So far it has been doing its job well, hopefully it will continue for many years.
This one: USA Pan Bakeware Pullman Loaf Pan with Cover, 13 x 4 inch, it's made in the USA. The lid fits perfect. No problems whatsoever.
Donut pan mmmmmm.

It's a little tricky in that Pizzacraft has earned a special place in hell for duping so many unsuspecting people into falling for this:
https://www.amazon.com/Pizzacraft-Square-Baking-Kitchen-Barbeque/dp/B00NMLKW6Q
but... there are elements that I really like about the PizzaQue, elements that the far more expensive Kettle Pizza doesn't even incorporate.
First, the tilt is brilliant, because it gives you room to launch and tend, but it still gives you a lower ceiling in the back, and helps, to an extent, balance the top and bottom heat. The Kettle Pizza started off laughably tall, then they lowered the profile a bit, but they're nowhere near this. A steel plate for the top would be better than the Weber lid, but, out of the box, this should be able to do balanced 4 minute bakes no problem, which is crazy for a $70 piece of kit.
Second, the cage for the charcoal and wood is incredibly inspired. If you have any flame/charcoals directly underneath the stone, it superheats that edge, and burns the pizza- and also shortens the life of the stone. Maintainig indirect heat by using the cage could easily be one of the smartest things I've ever seen any of these BBQ/grill insert manufacturers do.
Speaking of indirect heat, I think that using an insert like this with an 18" Weber could be a little cramped. You want to have plenty of space for your charcoal and wood.
As far as using this for Neapolitan, you can certainly pick u/J0den's brain on his mods, and I can help as well, but, I think, at the end of the day, it's going to get pretty involved, while a 4 minute NY bake with the stock setup will be a no-brainer- and light years ahead of a 500F home oven.
They are from proofing baskets called bannetons. You flour them generously before proofing which gives you an extra pretty loaf that makes people not in the know think you're super fancy

I like my steak well done. No blood for me! I lose my appetite just seeing it!
I think I would like to have dinner with /u/Alekij because I think we are both nerds and would have fun conversations!
Something kitchen related.
In Elem school my friend would mix up a bunch of things from the cafeteria and I would eat them to show what a badass I was.
The thing that got me was a concoction of mashed potatoes and gravy, ketchup, mustard, chocolate milk, raisins, butter, and orange juice.
It was the potatoes. I've never liked potatoes unless they're crispy and fried.
Item
How were the testes? Chewy?
Everything else, crock pots, even measuring cups, is optional. Slow cookers, microwaves, electric kettles, and rice cookers are all nice, but there is nothing you can make in them that you can't make in a pot, like humans did for thousands of years. You'll want measuring cups for baking, but for cooking you're adjusting on the fly anyways.
> I know that BIAB can be awkward because you need to secure the bag in the pot for the required durations of the mash.
Please for the love of delicious beer do not boil your grains. To secure the bag what I did was wrap a bungie cord around the top of the kettle with the bag secured by the bungie cord. It worked out really well.
>Also, I would assume that once you remove the grain from the pot, a lot of water soaked up in the grain would also be removed. You would need to slowly replace this water to bring it up to capacity right?
What I do is I have a metal cooling rack like this one and after the mash. I remove the grains kind of roll them up and put them on the cooling rack above the pot. I then let it drain for 10-20 minutes while it starts to get up to a boil. I then put the bag in a pot and bring in the grains.
I did 3 gallons for my first BIAB and probably will continue to for a while. I like the fact that I can brew more often brewing 3 gallon batches and it lets me experiment more. Also expect your efficiency to be low. You can compensate by getting more grains or have some DME on hand and adjust anyway. I think it is big enough for 5 gallons. remember after the fact you will want about 6.5-7 gallons of wort after the extraction so you might need about 8-9 gallons to start with. Add in the grain volume and you might exceed the 11 gallon capacity for some beers.
Here is a good video about the BIAB process and the merits behind doing 3 gallon batches at least at first.
if you have something like this and you put your bacon on top while you cook it in the oven, the grease will drain away from the bacon.
I love these for roasting. Heavy gage, no rolled edges so water can't collect... beautiful. I noticed an instant improvement in my roasted veggies and meats when I got them; I actually gave away a small stack of kitchen equipment that because obsolete once these entered the kitchen. I paired them with this wire rack because it was inexpensive but good quality, but there are a lot of standard-sized half-sheet compatible racks out there, just check the dimensions before ordering.
Oohh, those are both great ideas! I'll probably try them both.

Ack! I went over. I always do that. Oy. Anyway, maybe spme good ideas there.
Sounds like fun! I'll have to do this later
1.) Something that is grey: Pelican Gray Nail Polish. (on private WL)
2.) Something reminiscent of rain: Shower Curtain is a barrier between the bathroom tiles and cascading, rain-like, waterfall that flows from the showerhead. (on dream WL)
3.) Something food related that is unusual: Candy Mold. Chocolate frogs, anyone? (on under $5 WL)
4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!): Ice Cream Maker. No ice cream for me because I started keto last week. My friends and family would benefit from this when I make them some delicious ice cream. (on dream WL)
5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it!: The Knife of Never Letting Go. It's book one of the Chaos Walking trilogy, which has rave reviews. Apparently it's a dark, dystopian book full of suspense. (on high priority WL)
6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related!: Laser Finger Beams (not on WL)
7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...): Westside Warrior Nail Polish. Lions, which are really big cats, are warriors of the jungle. (on under $5 WL)
8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it: Origami Star Paper. I like folding these, but once I make them into stars, I literally have nothing to do with them. There's jars of them all across my house and all I can do is look at them (on under $5 WL)
9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why?: Song from Iron Man 3 Soundtrack. Everyone should see it because Iron Man + Tony Stark + RDJ = <3 (on digital WL)
10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain.: Spin-the-shot. If zombies attack, I would need to be drunk, so this would come in handy for some last minute fun before I turn into a brain eating zombie. Let's face it, I'm not surviving a zombie attack... (on $5-$10 WL)
11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals: Coconut Oil. Everyone on the keto subreddit raves about this stuff. Being a newbie to this lifestyle, I feel that if so many people had great results using this oil, that it would help with my goals. (on $11-$25 WL)
12.) One of those pesky Add-On items: Anti-stress face mask (not surprisingly, found on my add-on WL)
13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why?: Globe Bar. I would feel like a super cool James Bond-esque spy who would have a secret room hidden behind a bookshelf. Plus I love alcohol and globes. (on dream WL)
14.) Something bigger than a bread box: Desk Easel. (on $11-25 WL)
15.) Something smaller than a golf ball: Earrings. (on private WL)
16.) Something that smells wonderful: Pink Punch Baby Lips (on add-ons WL)
17.) A (SFW) toy: Kindle. I would consider this a techie toy. (on dream WL)
18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school: Fun Colored Pens. (on add-on WL)
19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be: Paints. My current obsession is painting! (on $11-25 WL)
20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand: Mug. I love love love this literature mug. I not only love the varying typography all over it, but I think that there are some really striking first lines of literature. (on $11-25 WL)
BONUS
1.) Real name: PM sent
2.) Made in Oregon: Handwarmer Mug

I just ordered this candy mold to make some frog chocolates for my kids halloween party. $4.30 (w/ amazon prime) seemed like a decent price.
http://www.amazon.com/BonJour-Brushed-Aluminum-Chefs-Torch/dp/B000G9OYX4/
this is the one I have, same torch but with a finger grooved grip
22 with prime, so less $ after shipping.
[This] (http://www.amazon.com/BonJour-Brushed-Aluminum-Chefs-Torch/dp/B000G9OYX4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&amp;colid=YFAIB8TWHS24&amp;coliid=I3S0O73XGSEYA3) is probably the most important thing on my list. I've been wanting to do some cooking business on the side and I've been wanting one of these FOREVER. I also nanny kids, and would love to have this to roast marshmallows for them with this. My favorite color is light blue and grey. People think that's kind of weird, but whatever.
To be fair, brulee torches are typically a specialized item.
Most of the complaints I've seen about the AMNPS are specifically related to lighting it. With torches as cheap as they are, I don't see why this should be an issue for anybody.

I direct fire with my propane burner. I use an Aluminum Pizza Screen with a few DIY legs to keep the bag/grains off the bottom.
I use a really cheap Solar Water Heater Pump to recirculate wort during the mash. I run it with a 12 volt power supply, and I am pushing about 2 gallons per minute.
I make almost everything from scratch but have yet to perfect a pizza crust. We typically buy them premade and then add our own spices, sauces and toppings. Our favorite is Still Riding Pizza which is very close to an authentic thin crust, easy to make and the cheapest crust I've found on the GF market. Our second favorite is Against The Grain and comes in second because it has the taste and texture of a pastry dough (like Croissants) but crispier around the edges. Whatever you make I strongly suggest using either a pizza screen or a pizza stone to improve texture.
I worked in a pizza shop growing up. We used pizza screens. As an adult I make pizza weekly and still use them in my oven. I never cared for the pizza stones. I get the logic but still love my screen and make great pizza with them.

You can make good pizza in a sub-500 degree oven. Try Pete-zza's papa john clone. http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6758.msg59217.html#msg59217 The nice thing about this recipe is that you don't need a stone and peel and you can make it in a sub-500 deg oven with great results.
You'll need a pizza screen, but you should be able to pick that up for ~$3 at a restaurant supply store. Around here we have GFS Marketplace and that's where I got mine. It looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CI8VHS/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&amp;pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&amp;pf_rd_t=201&amp;pf_rd_i=B000638HNI&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_r=132K7JRKV0368G553KWM (I mostly use 14", but have a 12" also)
BTW, if you have a self cleaning oven, you can hack it to get up to 900 deg :D
Use something like this.

Quality control seems to be an issue in the latest iteration of this model.
I made the gummies, it actually worked. Had a big bag of Now brand beef gelatin, and finally found a use for it. I filled 24 wilton silicone brownie molds, about 17 calories each. I used some vegetable cutters to cut some into shapes.
These are perfect for making them
Note on Fat Bombs: I've noticed the recipe listed on their website for fat bombs is different than the youtube video. I prefer the one on the website. But experiment around and see what you like best.
Enjoy! :D KCKO!
They are actually silicone brownie molds.

2 months late to reply to this (just found this recipe), but if you hadn’t figured it out yet it looks like she is using a Pullman Loaf Pan. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002UNMZPI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cTkbAbQF7BQDC
The secret to the softness of those breads is that they're baked in a sealed pan, like this one from Amazon, which prevents a hard crust from forming.
For the recipe, any 'sandwich loaf' recipe will be in the ballpark. Compared to a bare french dough, adding one tablespoon sugar and 4 oz butter per pound of flour (in addition to the salt and yeast) and replacing the water with milk is pretty common.
Thanks! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002UNMZPI/
I left the lid on for the first ~75% of the bake then removed for the rest.
Amazon. The 13" was only $25 with free shipping. They're just fantastic.

You can get a torch if you want, i have the TS8000 plus the searzall attachment. (http://www.amazon.com/Searzall-Torch-Attachment-Small-Stainless/dp/B00L2P0KNO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1450820865&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=searzall) The searzall is nice cause its like a handheld broiler but its a gentler flame.Downside is it takes about 3-4 minutes for each side and youll end up feeling that heat. Its also nice to use on pizza, gets the cheese nice and melty.
Or you can get something cheaper like this torch, its smaller too.
http://www.amazon.com/Iwatani-Cooking-Torch-Professional-Culinary/dp/B00BBJC1CY
but you dont NEED a torch. Most of the time, i prefer to sear on a pan. So, you want to pat dry out your food once its out of the bag (paper towel), then i usually rub it down with oil (dont do EVOO though) or clarified butter, then sear in the pan and throw in aromatics. Usually sprigs of thyme or rosemary do well, and just baste the food with it for about a minute to minute and a half each side.

There's nothing in the rulebook that says I can't use a blowtorch in the office. ;)
I use something similar to the iwatani torch. No one's said anything so far, and there's plenty of other flames burning in our office- space heaters, and a small gas stovetop (which I set my food on to torch).
ZOMG We Need this! seriously. it's so cute! my daughter would love it (and I would love using it :D)

You can buy food 'stamps' online or in some grocery stores that take 80% of the work out of it. It looks like OP used something like this set for the sandwich and egg, for example.
i just got one of these steels. tell me i'm not going to regret getting one thinner than 1/4 inch (i was on a budget)
http://smile.amazon.com/Pizzacraft-Square-Baking-Kitchen-Barbeque/dp/B00NMLKW6Q?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01
I honestly can't even say what's the best in the last 12 months, but in the last month I got a pizza steel. It's totally transformed my homemade pizza game and is just wonderful.
reddit.com/r/Pizza
In the sidebar is guide to buying pizza steel: https://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=31267.0
I didn't get it from an online store. I contacted local metal shops and just took the cheapest one. Getting it on amazon would have doubled or tripled the cost. Look at it yourself: I see 15x15x0.25 for $70. I got double thickness, though one square inch shorter, for $40.
Then there's this bullshit which is 0.14 inches thick. Read up at pizzamaking.com why thick metal is necessary.
Assuming you already have a oven
you'll save money in the long run if you do the cost with an initial investment of $55, 35$ pizza steel and $20 pizza peel
Cost of packaged ingredient(Assuming basil is free):
$4 for cheese
$3.49 for centos tamto puree
$6.49 for king arthur bread flour(2270g)
Now for the cost of a one pizza(270g each) not including cost of water and salt:
$0.48 for 133g of flour
$.44 for sauce(1/8 of puree, it usually takes me 8+ pizzas to use the entire can)
.8$ for electricity assuming 5300W/1000w * .15kwh = .8$ 550F @45m-60m baking time
$2 for half cheese, it takes half a mozz for a one pizza
that's a total of $3.72 for a ~12" pizza.
assuming domino's prizes $8 * CA tax(1.08237) - 3.72 = 4.93896 in savings
at this rate it would take only take 11-12 days to get your money back, if you consume one pizza on a daily basis. And this is assuming you didn't buy anything in bulk prices.
Here's what your pizza would look like(these are mine no machine used unlike the guy in the video), no kneading required for the first one; it actually comes out better too. Look up the no knead method or pm I will gladly to ***

EDIT:Price may vary depending on your location. All prices and taxes are relative to bay area CA. Ingredients may also very depending on which method is used to prepare the dough. No sugar was considered, because using sugar is stupid and the bread browns well enough without sugar. No need to bring more sugar into your life.

When you say to shake it, do you mean to move the wooden peel around a bit after putting on each topping?

I would like to get these for my mom, I believe it would make her life easier because she's always cooking and doesn't have many bowls. So this would help! :) she's also a stay at home parent
My go to way of fish cooking on a grill is using two of these with the fish sandwiched inbetween them. I prep the fish, spray these with Pam,place the fish between them and cook. turn the whole thing over as needed inside the grill. No spatula or tongs needed: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Cross-Wire-Cooling-Sheet/dp/B0001MS3DI/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1371335355&amp;sr=1-1-catcorr&amp;keywords=mesh+rack+cooking
For my small items, I'm using a Japanese yakitori rack. I place it over my cast iron pan and go to work. The rack kinda looks like this (not my photo).
For bigger items, I plan on using my half-sheet baking pan and a rack. I'm using a set that has been used and abused so I don't care if they get discolored.
A friend of mine is planning on just putting the meat on his Weber kettle grill, searing, and flipping.

The best way I have found to drain fried food.
Sort of the same, except sandwiched between two of these cooling racks. I end up not needing to touch anything until done, and the bacon is fully drained while cooking.
Hairdryer should be safe, so long as you don't choke the flow. I'd recommend laying the components out on a grate (or just put small items under the corners if you don't have one) to get airflow underneath, setting your hair dryer to full blower/moderate heat, and letting it blow on the components over night. Probably good to turn them at least a couple times. Your case should also be dried, because water can be trapped between metal surfaces and promote rust, and may wick or drip back onto your components when you reinstall them.
If you have more than one hair dryer in the house, I suggest employing all of them. Hair dryers only; no heat guns. (Obviously.)
We have a lot of bulk food stores where I live, so things like the Jelly Bellies we'll be getting from there, and the other bulk candy!
I'm using these: https://www.amazon.ca/Cybrtrayd-A126-Chocolate-Copyrighted-Instructions/dp/B000EBMUNU to make the chocolate frogs. It's super easy and they look soo cute!

I will be working alone in the office from 1:30pm to 8pm, after being at school from 8am to 1pm. No decorations or pumpkins even :(
I am going to see if I can wear my giant penguin onesye to school and work Friday to maybe be a bit excited, but haven't found out yet.
I am so looking forward to moving next year and having a normal houred job where I can actually give out candy for Halloween!
We do have plenty of candy to give out so hopefully my boyfriend will answer the door. I flew with a foster cat cross country a few weeks ago and prepped a bunch of little candy bags to apologize to anyone on the plane bothered by the cat crying, but the cat ended up not crying at all so I have a ton of candy lol.

I think you will want this, this (for chocolate frogs!), this (I think you could simplify it a little), and these recipes.
I bet it'll turn out awesome! I'm kind of jealous, I want a Harry Potter Party :)

Spent the day doing the most Canadian thing of all...slaving in front of the TV/radio/computer checking up on free agent frenzy day in the NHL. However, I don't think that makes me uniquely Canadian, because I'm sure several million people were doing the same thing. How about the fact that I seem to be the only person that moved AWAY from Alberta for work? Hah. Anyway, thx for doing this! Linklink
Only one solution, brother. Brulee torch.
Yes, there's a small glass meter on the side.
This one
Anything I missed?
???
Oh man. The marbling on those steaks is insane...had it once, way too rich, but I can see why people love it. Open flames are bad enough for Delmonicos...I can't imagine what inferno would come with those.
Alternatively, you could blow torch the steak.
I think you need this guy! We can both use this to make some AWESOME lunches!
Good luck and seriously, just DECORATE ALREADY!
Behold! Dinosaur shaped cuts!
don't worry be happy, Here are some dino sandwich makers and here is some Nutella to make nutella sandwiches.
If you are feeling super decadant you can make what we call "candy bar sandwiches" which is bread with nutella and peanut butter. And the deluxe version which has nutella, pb, and mashmallow fluff. I ate these all the time when I was preggers.
Based on your movie selection you might like this!
I love these!
don't worry be happy. WITH A CRAZY TALENTED PUPPY! Bear with the music. I know it's not everyone's favorite. :3
As for an item, Dinosaur Sandwiches!

Happy! And Thanks!
> How did your great grandmother bake her pizza? Did she use a stone or did she use a pan?
Honestly? I Have no idea. I know the recipe specifies it being 16" in diameter though, so that's why I'm assuming it isn't grandma style. I never saw her bake it, my relationship with her was when she was in her late 80s to early 90s. I just assumed that a stone would be the best way to do this
I'll look in to the steel option as well, thank you.
Would I be able to bake this on just standard aluminum pizza pans? Something like this?
Thank you for the extremely detailed answer
Corn Meal, Parchment or get some pizza screens
Get yourself a pizza screen. You'll never have to worry about your dough sliding off the peel.

>I wish I could pull off the frisbee technique.
I tried it once. Sauce and toppings everywhere. It looked like a crime scene in a pepperoni factory. :)
> I haven't even gotten the method of dough tossing worked out yet, though.
It takes tons of practice. I've made a lot of pizza at home, and my dough-tossing skills are still a bit shaky. Just remember that softer dough is easier to toss, so be careful not to over-knead it. Also, if you buy ready-made dough, be sure to let it sit out to warm up to room temperature. And catch with your knuckles, not your fingertips.
Rolling pin works, too. :)
>When you use the screen, so you leave the pizza on the screen and set the screen + pizza on the stone?
Exactly. Use the screen just like a pan. No need for a peel.
>Would aluminum foil be an acceptable substitute?
You could certainly use it in a pinch, but I wouldn't really recommend it. Foil would offer much less support than a screen, so you'd almost need a peel anyway. Plus, the foil lacks the ventilation provided by the screen. A good pizza screen only costs as much as a couple of rolls of foil anyway, so there's really no reason not to use one.
>Thanks for the tips.
Happy to help.
I use the below pizza stone and pizza screen. Make sure to pre-heat you oven for at least 30 mins at the highest temp possible. Mine goes to 525 and I cook for 12 mins, rotating 180 degrees 6 minutes. And I let the pizza cool on the pizza screen. Made the mistake when I first got one of trying to take the pizza off it right after coming out the oven.

You need one of these. It will improve your grapefruit experience immensely.
Then when you're ready for varsity level grapefruiting, buy one of these, sprinkle some brown sugar on top, and Brûlée that shit.

This one. Looks like the price dropped, I paid $27 as a lightning deal. Well worth it.
Today I broke my dresser by attempting to use it as a step stool to get to the top shelves in my closet. Why was I using my dresser as a step stool? Because I couldn't afford a step stool :| Which means now I get to buy a new dresser, and until then the drawers are just stacked up in the back of my closet.
So, as much as I hate my most useful gift being a gift card, a gift card would really really help put a dent into the $60+ I'll need to spend on a dresser soon.
A real, actual item that I think is very interesting (and entertaining!) is The Princess Bride <3 And for a useful item, this silicone brownie mold solves the problem of who gets the edges and whose piece is bigger :-D
Thanks! They're just caramels. It set up so well that I think I could layer it with chocolate in this mold.
You should get good microfiber cleaning towels and a crockpot. They come in handy SO much!
Item
I use either a food processor, a stick blender, or just mash some things like squash, banana, avocado and sweet potatoes. I roast lots of the root veggies or tubers (carrots, parsnip, sweet potatoes, etc) and steam most everything else. I also do larger batches and freeze them using these baking molds. Each little square is about a tablespoon, once frozen, it's super easy to pop them out, store in a ziplock and I'll be able to use the molds in the future for baking once we're done with purees.
For meat I steam or saute and then puree as well as I can in the food processor. LO doesn't mind a bit of texture so meat is usually still a bit lumpy. I then make tiny meatballs and freeze them on a cookie sheet and store in a ziplock bag.
When getting food together for a meal I just pull a few different things out and make some mixes that sounds good to me. Carrots with sweet potatoes or parsnip, peas with chicken, plums and oatmeal. I also give her avocado and bananas, which I just mash up as needed. We also add a tiny bit of spices sometimes. We have avoided cinnamon though since it is a pretty common skin irritant in babies. Some of it is trial and error, but it's such a small amount of food it's doesn't feel like you are wasting it if they don't like it.
Also, just a heads up but it's pretty common for babies to get constipated when they start solids. Make sure you are offering some water. We also always make sure we are giving her a "poo friendly" food at ever meal. These include peas, plums, prunes, peaches, pears; super easy to remember since they all start with "p" as does poo, haha!
Good luck and enjoy all the fun faces when you LO is trying new foods!
A Silicone Baking Mold!. There's a few recipes that I've been meaning to try that are fudgey and caramel...y and these molds would be perfect to have!
I would love anything from my list (your choice) or items such as:
Howl's Moving Castle
Super cool bundt pan!!!
Batman Snuggie without cowl
Batman Snuggie with cowl
My brother is almost done with his advance training. What are branch/specialty are you going into?
Riddle the First
a toast!
There's this emergency candle. It has three wicks! How else would you make toast, if not over an open flame? And everyone knows how much more pleasant it is to study by candlelight. Found here
Riddle the Second
a broom?
On the arts-and-crafts list there lies a "bookbinding brush," to use when making notebooks! Not only does it look like a miniature broom, but every student needs a notebook to take notes in! Found here
Riddle the Third
a hat!
On "Chris's List," There is a lovely bundt cake pan. This lovely bundt cake pan could serve as a beautiful hat! As long as you don't mind looking like you've been caught in a whirlwind! And, it always serves to have something sweet to bribe your teachers with. ;) Found here
Riddle the Fourth
a book!
I have a whole wishlist full of books. The one I'd like most right now is The Hot Sauce Cookbook. It's about how to make hot sauce! Keeping a student entertained during holidays is the best way to avoid chaos at school! Found here
Riddle the Fifth
a trunk!
In the arts-and-crafts list, there is a beautiful wooden box. It's just the right size for a few novels. And just the right size to hide under those school books so no one finds those ahem special books. Found here
For Bonus Points
a cape!
On my "Arts and Crafts" list, I have an unfinished lighthouse. Just like the ones on CAPE Cod! A cape is necessary for those brief naps in the library. Better than a sleep mask! Found here
Mischief Managed!
Found here, for the interested. Ton of cool designs, including silicon ones that I think you place into a normal bundt pan.
Oooh, make her a mixtape! Buy songs that remind you of your relationship & purchase them on the Amazon Digital Music. Depending on what songs you choose--you could end up with enough $ left over to get a mix of things for her!
A cute bento box may also be nice choices. Especially if you whip her up a nice lunch to put in it! Take her on a picnic date! They also have molds for different types of food in the shape of cute animals.
If you have a store that sells them you could also get these things. My coworker was all like "YOU NEED TO MAKE BUNNY SHAPED EGGS!!!"
These egg molds on my Gizmos and Geekery list would rock!
Also, Patrick Kane is our hero! (former Chicago girl here...)
I am guessing you have never seen these then: https://www.amazon.com/Kotobuki-Plastic-Mold-Rabbit-Bear/dp/B002TZ04J6
I'd say probably this: http://www.amazon.com/Kotobuki-Plastic-Mold-Rabbit-Bear/dp/B002TZ04J6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&amp;colid=1397DHHEDD03M&amp;coliid=I5TWTTUX9MMJZ
I make lunch for our foster kids... and would like to say that these would be for them... but really, I love opening my lunch to fun bento meals!! :-p
Do you have kids? Make cloud dough! 1 cup of baby oil to every 8 cups of flour. It's a very cool texture, and fun to play with. My son loves cloud dough; I can't wait till the weather warms up so I can make more for him to play with outside (get one of those cheapo wading pools, they're perfect for small sandboxes.)
Otherwise: Bread! I love to bake.
Quickbread
2 1/2 C warm water; 6 TBS sugar; 3 TBS yeast; 2 TBS oil; 6 C flour; 2 tsp salt; 1 tsp baking powder
Stir together water, yeast, sugar, and oil. Let sit for 5 min, until it becomes frothy on top. Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well and knead lightly.
Pour into two standard loaf pans (I have one of these, and regular loaf pans just don't do it for me anymore. I love this thing so much) and brush (optional) with milk or honey (I mix milk and honey together and brush all over it. It helps produce a softer crust, especially in an open pan.)
Bake at 400 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. I actually don't remember what I do for mine; it's different because of the pan. I prefer low temps and longer bake times. Took me a couple goes to get it perfect.
Also, here's a recipe for English Muffin Bread that is really easy and very, very good (and makes excellent French toast). Word of caution on that one, though, it does not keep very long (about two or three days), so I'd recommend freezing three of the four loaves that the recipe makes, or give them away. They do make excellent gifts.
I love baking. I ONLY buy 25 lb bags of flour, and hoo boy do I go through them fast. Glad flour is cheap!
Every week I make a pullman loaf. It's a perfectly square bread which is excellent for sandwiches. It's also quite delicious.
Here is the pan I use and also the recipe that I use.
This pan we bought just for making sandwich bread.
Most of the loaves we make are just for the dinner table as we do not eat a lot of Sandwiches. So we typically use a dutch oven or pizza stone. When we want sandwich bread this Pullman Pan from USA Pans is perfect. The top fits on tightly so the bread steams it self. The bread slides right out not sticking at all.

To go with a Moleskine you really should have a good EDC pen, like the Fisher Space Pen, though Lamy Safari fountain pens are fun and affordable if that's more your style.
You should also look into Field Notes notebooks.
And the thing I have to include just because I have to... ninjabread men cookie cutters because I really really want it! (well them)

These are a staple in my home. Delicious, low carb, good fiber. Can do so much with them, hamburger rolls, sandwich rolls, English muffin substitute. Great with butter, cream cheese, hummus, etc. My next plan is to get this and make bagels. Sausage egg and cheese on a bagel.... can't wait.
My craft, art and greatest joy is writing. I was born to write and I'm lucky enough to actually make money doing what I love. I'm so grateful for it.
People inspire me, whether it be my Dad supporting my decisions, or my friends believing in me and encouraging me, or the people I write about in my articles/ interact with. The world inspires me in many ways and I try to give back to it using what I know.
EMMACAT THE DESTROYER
And when I get tired of writing, I'm also pretty crafty in the kitchen.
Please help me make tasty donuts.
Here is the recipe for Season 3 Episode 1 (Great British Baking Show : The Beginnings Episode 1 in netflix)
https://www.bbc.com/food/recipes/rum_babas_served_with_48561
You need four baba tins (savarin moulds) or small dariole moulds. They look like these. What I have is these, so I would be using these large donuts tray. Also other noteworthy ingredients
Other ingredients are easily available, so not writing all ingredients. Please follow the ingredients and recipe as per the link.

We will post pics by next weekend: 13th/14th of April. It just so happens to be my birthday on 14th :-)
I nominate my mom! She's had to put up with, and go through, more than her fair share. And for that I think she deserves more than her fair share of great things!
She loves baking so this doughnut pan would be super fun! Even if it's just used for brownies!
I heart Mom's!
Donut pan...how excited am I if I win! It's on my "Eat" wishlist. $8.88!!
It IS listed as that on amazon, but it says "Modcloth" before it. I found it on amazon here though! :)
I got a lot of stackable or nesting items, like the Joseph Joseph set thats bowls, a strainer, measuring cups and measuring spoons, but it all stacks into one big bowl. There's also a set of pots and pans that stores in the space of one pot. You can hang a lot of items with command hooks.
That torch is pretty decent, but I prefer this one
https://www.amazon.com/Iwatani-Cooking-Torch-Professional-Culinary/dp/B00BBJC1CY/ref=sr_1_2
This is the one I got from Amazon and it just connects to a big canister of butane you can also get from Amazon. The canisters seem to last a long time because I bought a three pack awhile ago and the one I am using still feels really full.
http://www.amazon.com/Iwatani-Cooking-Torch-Professional-Culinary/dp/B00BBJC1CY
As the other posters have said, 139.5 is too high for an end result of medium if you are going to sear in pan or grill to finish. Either of those methods are going to add a good bit of additional heat to the steak.
I would recommend trying 131 degrees if you are going to use the sear method you described. I prefer medium rare, and have my steaks at 125 and then sear hard and get a good medium rare result.
If you want something that doesn't transfer as much heat into the meat, you can try finishing with a torch. Allows a crust formation with almost no additional cooking inside the meat. I have this one. Some people taste uncombusted fuel with the torch method, your mileage may vary. I prefer my steaks seared in pan, but use the torch on other things like lamb and lobster.
I did the blowtorch thing for a while. Didn't really like the results. I had one of these and it would take forever to make any impact on beef, pork, or chicken. It worked well for fish.
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (just a tiny bit) with dry thyme and rosemary in the bag, didn't have any of the fresh stuff.
The sear was just with a simple butane kitchen torch. I normally do torch and pan with oil and butter sear but was being lazy and didn't want to clan another pan.
Edit: The torch i used
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BBJC1CY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
its 25 at amazon right now. I know its above your max.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BBJC1CY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Something like this or a brulee torch should do the trick nicely. Try on some test pieces first to get the hang of how the torch burns.
I will try and remember to check this tomorrow as Amazon prices tend to bounce all over the place.
This card is $4.33 + 0.95 for shipping which totals = $5.28 (Found on my less than $10 list)
This game is $3.00 (found on my games list)
These animal shaped sandwhich cutters are $9.99 (also on my less than $10 list)
5.28 + 3.00 + 9.99 = 18.27
My total is $18.27
Thank you for the contest, that was way harder then I would have originally though.
Amazon.ca for the cutters.
The box is just a modular Rubbermaid blox that I've become addicted to.

>What's your go-to recipe?
http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/07/basic-new-york-style-pizza-dough.html
>What's the easiest way to make pizza if you're just a college student without fancy stones or ovens?
You can make a decent pizza on a cookie sheet, but you can get a stone for $16 or steel for $22.
For the oven, you just need 450 degrees (though 500 or 550 would be even better). Most are capable of that.
>Do you make your own sauce? Or do you store buy? Do you ever experiment with types?
Both. I've only found a couple packaged sauces I enjoy and they're hard to find, so I've been making my own lately. Just lightly blending a can of diced tomatoes with some salt, oregano, basil, etc.
>What's your go-to ratio of crust:sauce:cheese:toppings?
I like a thin crust, medium sauce, and medium to light cheese and toppings. Too much sauce or cheese on a thin crust and it won't get crisp.
Is this steel thick enough, or should I look for one like this?
I currently have a stone but like the stone on top theory...
You can do better. Locally sourced would be the best option but there's also:
Cheaper, and they had the sense to make theirs square.

They do come in pretty handy. I just bought two more of them recently.
These are the two I picked up and they work great for any of the FWSY breads.
You could make a sourdough starter. It'll take about 1-2 weeks so hopefully if you start now it'll be ready once you need it. You can follow these directions: https://www.theperfectloaf.com/7-easy-steps-making-incredible-sourdough-starter-scratch/ That starter has a higher percentage of water than FWSY's, but you can just switch to the feeding method in the book once the starter becomes active.
You could also make sure you have all the supplies necessary. At a minimum you'll want:
