Cast Iron Cookware On Uses For Pizza and Pizza Pans

Many years ago I served as a missionary in Argentina. It came time for me to return to the USA on home leave and the group, mostly young people, would continue in my absence to work with missionaries from Brazil. We had no building and met in the homes of various persons. On the occasion of my last visit with these wonderful young people, we decided to have a communion service. We used Coke and pizza for this service. This may seem strange to you and your church tradition but we used what we had at hand. It might not be the normal way but there is some pretty good theology behind it. We shared “bread” and “drink” together to celebrate. It has served to remind me of the One who called us together and the wonderful times we shared together.

Think of all the good times with pizza and movies or ball games you have shared with your friends and family. Is there not an atmosphere of celebration, fun and yes communion when we do this?

You may not be ready to think of a pizza pan as a communion set but with this handy pizza pan by Universal you can make crispy or deep crust pizzas with ingredients that your family likes best. Kids and grown-up kids will love it.Your pre-seasoned cast iron pizza pan will bake and grill and can also be used as a griddle. Biscuits will brown on the outside and be moist on the inside.

The taste is great and the clean-up is super easy. 14 7/8″ x 10 1/4″ x 1 7/8″.
