I lined forty ounce cans with renolds wrap to avoid contanination. Unfortunately after they came out of the oven I ate them faster then anything I have ever eaten in my life. I rolled my dough from thick to thin and gave them a nice egg wash over the outside to brown them up. Nice treat. : ]

These look like they'd be a wonderful fix ahead meal if you have a predictable pattern to what family members like on their pizza. Has anyone tried freezing and reheating these?

If you freeze these before cooking the dough they would probably work. They might need to be cooked for longer on a lower temperature when you cook from frozen, though.

If the can is the best form, line the can with aluminum foil...this will protect the food from the can. Or maybe, use really strong foil (or several sheets)and create your form from the foil. Looks like a great idea.

This reminds me of the once famous "Beer Can Chicken" recipe, where a whole chicken is cooked atop a half full beer can. The concept thrilled beer enthusiasts and the chicken did stay as moist as the recipe claimed it would, so popularity soared, but the last thing I heard about it before I stopped hearing about it was that the heat from roasting the chicken would vaporize some of the leaded paint on the outside of the can (and possible other delicious paint components as well), contaminating the chicken resting on the outside of the can with a chemical residue to taste odd, but still not a good thing to eat. I wonder if the coating all cans have on their inside (usually plastic) and the paint many cans have on their outside isn't being baked into this pizza crust. I'm sure this instructable can be done with bent sheet metal or with some other custom cone holder, but I suggest it might be a good idea to look into the safety of what's being baked off the recyclables and lets us know if there are any risks.

hmm, perhaps a muffin tin would be an appropriate substitute; the cones would end up more snack size though.

I've been brainstorming of a substitute too, because this is probably the instructable I like most on the whole site. After looking at the picture above for a while I started wondering "Why not use a whole slew of Pyrex measuring cups?". It would be expensive but at least you'd still get something like a pizza cone. Anyone else have an idea for an oven safe cyllinder with a wide lip?

om nom nom, love it man. I'll definitely give it a try.

There's a place in Leicester Square (London), and probably hundreds more, that sell these. From an ex-girlfriend'd experiene, DO NOT bite off the bottom of the cone while it's still full, unless you want to look like you've just puked on the pavement in the middle of London :-)

I just had to give this a try and it turned out pretty well. I enjoyed it a lot, but I'd recommend doing it with others or for a party because it is a lot of work for just one person to enjoy :P

I made something similar but never thought to use a can. I have some tall beer cans I may try this with as they look a little stubby for me. Excellent job. Definitely going to try your recipe for the crust.
