coco brooks take n' bake membership kit

[nonlinear]

we were in coco brooks the other day, and i started reading about their take n' bake club. the guy told me that for the take n' bake club, you had to buy a membership kit that included some utensils (including a pizza cutter, etc.) to ensure a quality product at home, cause he said the take n' bakes can be kinda tempermental. is anyone a member of the take n' bake club? what utensils are included in the kit? i'm just curious what they would give you to avoid screwing it up. maybe something to help transfer the fresh dough onto a pizza stone?

I thought the take and bakes were frozen??


And then when frozen why not just throw it onto a pizza or cookie sheet for baking??...tools??


I have a bridge I can sell you...really great price if interested PM me...

oh i'm sorry, the take n' bakes are totally different from the frozen pies. the frozen pies are, well, frozen, but the take n' bakes are made fresh to order and are uncooked - you do that at home. i'm not sure if they parbake the crust first, but i'm guessing they don't and that's why they give you the kit to help you deal with the transfer to the stone cause that can be a bitch. but i haven't done their take n' bakes yet, so i have no idea. hoping someone on here could lend some insight.

Did you find out what the take n bake kit involves? You've got me really interested in now. I know a kid who works there, I'll ask him next time I see him.

This is what comes with the kit...it took me 30 seconds to take a look in the Coco Brooks site for the information...

I used to work there, basically you're paying for a pizza cutter. You could always buy frozen, but if you want pizza right away then tank & bake is the way to go.

Don't get suckered into this....I fell for the deal and bought the stupid kit that I have only used once. I didn't think it made a difference with baking the pizza either....total waste of money and marketing scam if you ask me :thumbsdow

all this for coco brooks pizza :barf: gross...

[TDFTW]

With the pizza kit you would get a cutter, a spatula to lift the slices, a thermometer, instructions, a coupon for a free pizza and a little hot plate that you could cook/lay the pizza on after it's done cooking.


not a bad purchase if you have none of it.

I've worked there too, as well as family who used to manage it and a sister who still works there.

Free pizza coupons ftw
