That's a big negative ghost writer

Best pizza is from wood or coal. Stone replicates that more than plain steel in terms of cooking service. It absorbs moisture. You can end up steaming the dough if the conditions aren't right with steal pizza pan

I got one of these and really like it (have a stone as well but over the years it has become more seasoned than I like so I needed to replace it and decided to try something else). One thing I like about it is that I don't have to deal with a hot stone taking forever to cool:

Steel's conductivity more than makes up for the fact that it doesn't wick moisture like ceramic does.

Wood-fired oven

Steel

Stone

Just to be clear, Cruiser is talking about a baking steel, which is a 1/4" thick, 15 pound slab of steel. If you try to make a pizza on a regular steel sheet pan you're going to be disappointed.

What should I cook one of my new friends for dinner on Wednesday night? She knows I'm a Pescetarian.

Are there any tools to more efficiently plan routes and stops for long distance trips other than guessing and plugging in best guest route legs and random cities to estimate costs? For example, planning for hotels where they are cheaper? Planning gas stops? Planning routes with gas costs taken into account?

Depends on the type of yoga probably. What is a shelf bra?

**Tuckerman** · 02-09-2016, 01:50 PM

I just googled shelf bra and I think its the way to go.

**klar** · 02-09-2016, 02:20 PM

Is this what we are talking about? If so and if that is something you can comfortably wear, why even bother with a bra?

**mmmm...pow!** · 02-09-2016, 02:20 PM

Need pics, obviously

It's what they call tops with built-in bras (most often found in tank tops). Usually not a whole lot of support but in the case of yoga clothes that are already made of compression fabric the bra does offer more support than most. This particular top also has what they call "cupcake inserts".

Here is the top:

Inner Light Top

I went ahead and ordered it and as it turns out it works just fine.

EDIT: The reason I was even pondering in the first place was because I didn't want to buy a top with a built-in bra and end up having to wear one anyway because it was more lip-service than functional. I know some women do that but to me that seems like it would 1) defeat the purpose and 2) be bulky

Yeah, not those kinds (see above)
