  1. As far as I know, you should pass the grater over the peel to remove it! You can better see what your doing, as not to remove the bitter pith with it! It is made to grate and hold the peel in its channel, and all you have to do is tap it in your pot or plate! Chef for 55 years!

  2. This episode is confusing. Glad they didn't use heavy cream in the pasta but a major part of the Detroit style pizza history was omitted. It is Sicilian and the blue pans were used in Italy even before the first ww. And to this day they use them in pizzeria's around Italy. An Italian noticed the resemblance and used it. Crazy how history facts are slowly diluted and fading. You can do better test kitchen. Ps. The cheese and sauce on that pizza is a terrible substitute.

  3. Real Italian Food , including Pizza must be an Italian Industry made by real italians,real italy and real Italian Ingredients! From a Neapolitan and Italian; don't call that a ''Pizza'' or ''Italian Food''…it's an insult! Same story for all that FAKE presumed Italian Food Dishes ; and the Real one can only be made by Italian and from Italy ingredients…REAL ones!
    Detroit? They can't even build Cars…

  4. I use a mix of mozzarella and muenster cheese for Detroit-style and I like to cube it. I love that this type of pizza doesn't have a lot of sauce since that's the part I like least. We live in West Michigan and our favorite place to order this type of pizza from is Jet's, which started in Sterling Heights. They do sauce under the cheese — I just ask them to go light — and the crust is fantastic! They offer an 8-corner pizza (two 4-slice pies) so every piece is a corner piece. Yum!

  5. I have a quarter sheet pan that is absolutely black and absolutely non-stick! I have home care and one time I had a caregiver try to scrub the black off! I told her it's not dirty it's well seasoned it's supposed to be that way. I rescued my prized sheet tray and it sits on my stove all black and one of my prized pans. 🙂 I don't like thick crust pizza. I always said if I wanted bread I would eat bread. It looks lovely but one slice and I'd be done. 🙂

  6. YES! I’m surprised to see a Detroit style pizza! When I tried Buddy’s years ago, it INSTANTLY became my favorite pizza of all time, literally. I didn’t expect to see this here because it always made me sad that I couldn’t have Buddy’s easily since I don’t live in Michigan!

    Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to make this!!!!!!

    The edges are definitely the best. Though, when I’ve been to buddy’s, I think they used more sauce than this. Also, theirs raised a little higher I think.

    Regardless, this looks delicious! I’m so excited, thank you guys!

  7. Why do you people make it so hard to get recipes that are shown on TV? They are supposed to be free, if they are on TV and yet every time I try to find one from Cooks Country it's a huge hassle and so I end up using someone else's. I guess it would be easier to just not watch the show, so back to that I go.
