I love cooking w/ cast iron and I love making pizza, but have never tried them together! I usually bake my pizza on a special stone insert with its own heating element that gets way up to 550 degrees (with convection fans), and they're usually done in 6-7 minutes. Do you think 550 would be too hot with the cast iron, and maybe burn the crust before the middle is cooked? I'd say 550°F is a bit high, not for the pan itself, but for the crust in the pan. Try 500°F and see how that goes. ~ MaryJane
