[quote=scaredycat]a pizza stone will help. I use my pizza stone a lot–i put lots of things on it. i cooked french fries and eggs for dinner last night, i put the frozen frenchfries on the stone; not sure it makes a difference, but since i have the stone, i want to use it. i think i may have a low quality pizza stone though. it was very inexpensive. maybe try a better stone, or rent it instead of buying it.[/quote]
Are you getting your stone super hot before using it – that’s the key. We do homemade pizza a lot and the key is to preheat the stone HOT, then put the pizza directly on the stone (not in a pan). (Corn meal helps for sliding the pizza on/off the stone – and you need a pizza paddle.)
It’s all about thermal mass. If you don’t preheat the stone super hot then it actually can draw heat OUT of the cooking item. It should be hotter than the oven temp.
I have a friend who’s got a pizza oven in the backyard – wood fired… He starts getting it hot more than an hour before he wants to cook in it. But he produces FABULOUS crispy, thin crust pizza – like you’d find in Naples. He’s a professional chef so he’s worked hard to perfect his system at home.

ParticipantI suspect there will be some distressed sales/foreclosures – but not in the quantity in other market segments. For two reasons: most who bought/qualified for those big houses had substantial resources so they’re hoping to ride it through. Those that stretched beyond their means will still face some pain – but the number of cases will be small enough there won’t be as much price pressure on the overall segment.
The market segment I expect to feel more pain is the 900k-1.5k group. It seems like a lot of folks bought in that price point that really couldn’t afford it. (Based on anectdotal evidence of water cooler talk at work.)

ParticipantSo if a party has refi’d (turning their loan recourse) and this happens, they first mortgage is now non-recourse in a short sale? It might make more people willing to do short sales….
Another question – does their tax obligation from the short sale go away? (I assume not.)

ParticipantI would be curious to see if the people you say have had their tax assessment lowered are able to SELL their condos at the higher prices. That would be more valid data as to whether the tax assessor is doing their job appropriately.
I could list my house for $2M. I wouldn’t get it – but I could list it for that.
