However I am not sure the public would have completely received her message with open arms. Often times some people are looking for someone (McDonalds or PD) to blame for their problems. Because at the end of the day, Paula nor her sons are forcing the public to cook her food.

It is a delicate balance. By cooling the crust it firms up enough to support toppings, and doesn't overcook.
