Ways to create steam?
I have a gas home oven and am wondering what the best way to create steam is.
I have a small pan that sits on the oven floor that I dump boiling water into but I'm not sure it's doing the job well enough. I have to have the oven door completely open to get the water into the pan and slide it back before closing the door. I don't feel like enough steam isn't trapped inside when doing this.
I've heard of others on here using lava rocks or spraying the inside of the oven, or going so far as to MacGyver their home oven into a steam injection oven.
What is the best method for getting steam? I just want a shiny, blistery crust every now and then...
