- Pro: Heats rapidly and evenly, cutting down cooking time and ensuring a perfect crust.
- Con: Prone to scratches if you cut the pizza directly on the surface.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ferryman's Inn, a popular riverside pub in Fowey, Cornwall, wanted to upgrade their kitchen to offer authentic pizzas alongside their classic pub fare. Their existing baking sheets were producing inconsistent results, with pizzas often cooking unevenly.
"We needed something reliable that could keep up with demand on a sunny weekend. The Vogue GE196 pizza trays heat up so quickly and give us a perfectly crisp base every time. Our customers have definitely noticed the difference in quality."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
Since the switch, the pub has seen pizza sales increase by 30% and has significantly reduced food waste from poorly cooked dough.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
- To season your pan, lightly coat the inside with cooking oil and bake it in a hot oven for 15-20 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- Always ensure the pan is clean and dry before dusting with flour or semolina to prevent dough from sticking.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand-wash your aluminium pan. Harsh dishwasher detergents can cause discolouration and damage over time.
- Avoid using abrasive metal scourers, which can scratch the surface. A simple sponge or cloth is best.
- Dry the pan immediately after washing to prevent water spots and oxidation.
- Stack carefully with parchment paper in between each pan to protect the surface and prevent scratching.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this pan in a conveyor pizza oven?
A: Absolutely. Its sturdy, simple aluminium construction makes it perfectly suited for the high temperatures and constant use of commercial conveyor ovens.
Q: Is the Vogue GE196 pizza tray non-stick?
A: It has a natural aluminium finish, not a non-stick coating. For best results, season the pan before first use and always use a light dusting of flour or semolina.
Q: What’s the main advantage of an aluminium pizza dish for restaurants over a steel one?
A: The key advantage is heat conductivity. Aluminium heats up significantly faster and distributes that heat more evenly, resulting in quicker cooking times and a more consistent finish.
Q: Is it safe to use a pizza cutter directly in the pan?
A: We'd advise against it. A sharp pizza wheel can easily scratch the surface of the aluminium, which can impact performance over time. It's best to slide the pizza onto a board before cutting.
Q: Are these pans easy to store?
A: Yes, they are designed to be stacked neatly on top of one another, which is a great space-saver in any busy kitchen environment.
Q: What exactly is the purpose of the wide rim?
A: The wide rim provides a secure edge for a pizza peel to get underneath, making it much safer and easier to get the pan in and out of a hot oven.
Q: Is this 8 inch aluminium pizza pan too small for a main pizza?
A: It's perfect for an individual or personal-sized pizza, making it ideal for lunch menus, kids' meals, or as part of a meal deal.
Q: How do I prevent the aluminium from discolouring?
A: The best way is to hand-wash it with a mild detergent and avoid the dishwasher. Harsh chemicals are the main cause of discolouration on aluminium cookware.

Explore more from VogueWhy a Wide Rim Makes a Real Difference
You might look at the edge of this pan and think it’s just a simple design choice, but the wide rim on this Vogue GE196 pizza tray is one of its most practical features. It acts as a brilliant guide and a safety buffer. When you’re sliding a pizza peel underneath to retrieve it from a scorching hot oven, that rim gives you a solid, stable edge to work with, dramatically reducing the chances of slipping and dropping a perfectly good pizza on the floor. Think of it as a built-in handle that surrounds the entire pan. It also helps to naturally form a thicker, defined outer crust, giving your pizzas that classic, professional look without any extra effort.
