HI-GEAR Portable Rolled Steel Table Top Pizza Oven with Pizza Stone, Outdoor Pizza Oven, Wood Pellet Pizza Oven, Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Pizza Grill, Black, One Size

Product Information

We select the UK's bestselling pizza ovens and have cooked more than 80 pizzas to find out which are the easiest to use and which cook the best food. The traditional and most popular type. They require the most patience and skill, as they usually take longer to get up to temperature than gas, and need almost constant attention to get the flames to the right size and consistency. Can't decide between a gas- or wood-fired oven? The convertible Bertello Outdoor means you can have the best of both worlds — it even can use both fuels simultaneously. The Bertello is designed to mimic the superior airflow of a Tuscan-style barrel vault oven to create an attractive rolling flame to cook your pizza. In either form, this oven can produce the intense temperatures needed to turn out a Neapolitan-style pizza in less than 90 seconds — however, the accessory gas attachment certainly makes it more convenient to reach such temperatures. The size of wood pellets should be small so that they can easily fit into the burning compartment of the pizza oven and burn efficiently.

HI-GEAR Portable Rolled Steel Table Top Pizza Oven with Pizza

There aren't many electric pizza ovens around that are for use at home, but the Ooni Volt 12 and Sage Pizzaiolo are examples that might be a good fit for those who are keen to cook artisan-style pizza without the need for outdoor space.The BakerStone is versatile, but it's not the easiest oven to transport. Dismantling it into sections may help improve portability. However, we feel this bulky, 48-pound oven is better off as the focal point of an outdoor kitchen than as a companion for car camping. It is capable of reaching the necessary temperatures to cook Neapolitan-style pizza, but the bulk and design of the firebox equate to a long preheating time. However, once it reaches the desired temperature, this price-pointed oven will bake just as well, if not better, than other top models on the market. Heat-proof gloves Getting up close and personal with an oven that can burn at 500°C comes with its risks. Wearing heat-proof gloves will help keep you safe while adding fuel, and if necessary, when launching and rotating pizzas. A true rustic way of cooking and one that has been tried and tested throughout the generations of time, wood fired cooking really does deliver a superior cooking taste and experience. This is why more and more homes and restaurants across the UK choose to install wood fired ovens within their kitchens. Turning peel This smaller paddle has a rounded edge to help you slide it under one side of the pizza and turn it while it's cooking, without the need to take it out. This peel is a handy tool, but it's not essential like the standard pizza peel. Rotate it regularly The strongest heat usually comes from one direction, especially in gas and wood-fired ovens. You'll want to rotate the pizza a few times during cooking to make sure it cooks evenly. Once every 30 seconds is a good rule of thumb, but keep an eye on it while it cooks.

There are various kinds of wood pellets available on the market, each with different specifications and use. Every type of wood burns at different temperatures and exhibits different properties as every wood has different moisture content and chemical properties.

We use the same methods, dough, sauce and toppings to prepare and cook each pizza to keep our tests as fair as possible. A blend of wood fired logs or pellets along with a few briquettes is the only workable way to introduce charcoal to cooking with pizza. As such, you won't find any 'charcoal-only' ovens for sale. The Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo is a marvel of engineering, clearly designed by a team dedicated to making the perfect pizza from the comfort of your own kitchen. It is the only electric option capable of achieving 700°F+ temperatures to replicate the magic of a traditional wood-fired oven. But unlike other ovens in this review, this versatile model isn't relegated to only baking Neapolitan-style pizzas. This smart oven uses a series of sensors to optimize oven conditions for some of your favorite pies, offering automated presets for various styles: Neapolitan, thin & crispy Bar-Style, New York, and Chicago Deep-Dish. They do, however, usually produce the tastiest pizza, as the wood smoke infuses additional flavours into the crust and base.
