The pizza box proved to be extremely practical for preparing the pizza dough. With enough space for kneading and rising the dough, it was easy to use. The dough retained its consistency and the crispy pizza base was reminiscent of the taste of an Italian pizzeria.
The box is made of food-safe and pollutant-free material, which confirms its quality for handling food. No unpleasant odors or tastes attributable to the material were detected in the test. The dough remained fresh during the proofing process and was not affected.
The practical handling of the pizza box was demonstrated by its size of 30x40x7 cm, which fitted perfectly in the fridge. The hinged lid securely enclosed the dough and prevented it from drying out. It was easy to open and close and was easy to carry, which was another space-saving feature in the fridge.
The box could also be used as a proofer for sourdough or yeast dough , as it provided sufficient space for the dough to rise.
When caring for the pizza box, it should be noted that the surface is sensitive and can be scratched .
It is therefore recommended to use plastic pizza scrapers to avoid scratching the surface. Cleaning by hand is simple and effective, the box is also suitable for the dishwasher.
