Frozen and fresh pizza crusts were tested with the TA-226 Tug Fixture and the TA-42 Chisel End Blade to look at the firmness, toughness, stiffness, and extensibility of the two crusts. The TA-226 Tug Fixture was excellent at looking at the extensibility and stiffness of the crusts while the TA-42 did better at distinguishing the firmness of the two crusts.
