I was about to slip the pizza onto the rack to bake when the cardboard
(cough) gave way and the pizza landed on the oven floor. S**T! I
almost got it onto the peel but the open oven door wouldn't let me get
the peel horizontal enough without burning me hand and fingies. Dang!

What to do? What to do . . . . I used my tongs to grab and pull the
pizza towards me and onto the peel. Whew! Disaster averted!

Only three wee gobs of sausage and a now-incinerated piece of mozz hit
the oven floor.

LOL!! I'll pay closer attention when I stick Himself's pizza in the
oven in about 10 minutes. I'll probably even put it on the peel and use
*that* to slide it in.

I'm trying to picture *how* it can slip off some cardboard, onto the oven
floor. Wouldn't it had to have slid between the racks??

Or maybe it was the kitchen floor??

Either way....... it sounds like it's time Barb bought herself a pizza
stone!!

It's only a 'thin' one, but don't tell anyone!!!

Jeebus...I just don't understand why someone would take a pic of a
pizza that fell in the oven. Nest, we'll being seeing pics of
of.....oh, a spoon that fell on the floor.

Of course, but the floor of the oven is actually a little (no more than
an inch if that) lower than the oven door when it's flat. I tried. The
peel had to go in at a bit of an angle and pushing down on the handle of
the peel to lift the business end up a bit to bring it and pizza out of
the oven meant I would have been pushing down on the *hot* oven door and
I didn't want to chance burned knuckles or anything else. This is a
lousy description, I know, but trust that I couldn't get the peel flat
and maneuverable at the same time.

I think you should have used a spatula to fold it in half so you
could then spatula it onto your pan. Then you'd announce that
dinner tonight was calzone.
