Pizza ovens

molly09

I am just wondering has anyone ever tried one of these small kitchen ones that are available on Amazon like the https://www.amazon.co.uk/Giles-Posner-Stonebake-Pizza-Oven/dp/B0018812R8

If so are they worth it?

Anyone tried this from tesco?

Got some of that and some mutti pizza sauce. Both fantastic!!

the moz cuts up into nice little squares for sprinkling, its firm and dryer than normal moz and melts beautifully.

All the sites are buying them to check people’s forehead temp before entering - that and everyone making pizzas! I’ve ordered one and just have to wait the 6 weeks to get it.

Pretty impossible to find an inexpensive infrared thermometer (about €40) at the moment. I contacted one manufacturer direct a few weeks ago and they told me they were out of stock and to try Amazon! :rolleyes:

Thermapro is probably the leading brand but they can be pricey for what they are. To be honest I think its much of a muchness with IR thermometers.

I got mine on Amazon, its called Benetech GM550 and cost me £12, Have had it 18 months now and its used most weeks and its going grand. Takes a 9 volt battery which wasnt included.

We have had this for a good while before we upgraded to the koda. It's works ok just but it isn't insulated whatsoever so it doesn't retain enough heat other than to to one or two pizzas before temps drop too much.

Agreed. I have the Aldi version which is the same. The problem is that the heat comes from below the pizza. It's better than cooking pizza in a normal oven but the Koda is a million times better.

Pizza and garlic bread in 60 seconds my favourite

Dough offer two days in the fridge slow fermented ready to be made into balls 3 grams fresh yeast per 1 kg of flour. This allows the dough to develop flavour and structure so even after the dough is knocked back and kneeded for 30 seconds it still has loads of little air bubbles Left the dough balls for another 4 hours before cooking

Lidl have a cool base food storage container on sale today. It's €8.99. Could do as a container for pizza dough too. I know some were asking about these before....

I bought these for when I ball up and leave to prove, just coat them with a bit of olive oil. (as recommended on FB ooni UK group)
And if you don't use all the dough just pop it in the freezer.

Much success! No accidental calzones. Used the ooni app to do a 3hr prove for the dough. Didn't think the Ooni was going to come today so hadn't planned ahead! Made them thicker than usual and used plenty of cornmeal. I'll have to get semolina and practise getting them thinner.

Very impressed with it, it really is very economical only took a tray of charcoal to cook the 4 pizzas and I had to go make the next one after cooking one so it was burning for at least 40 minutes with warm up. Id say I could have cooked at least one more. 2 minutes turning a quarter every 30 seconds.

I’m about to take dough out of the freezer now to cook later. It’ll defrost in no time on the counter in these temperatures. Did it last week too and it was perfect.

How long do they take to defrost? Overnight in fridge or can you take them out at room temp a few hours before.

My Ooni Karu landed this morning put it together already. Have to say it's a very well built piece of kit for €250. Have to go make my dough now!

Well I guess it depends on the size etc, but I took it out of the freezer yesterday morning, left it in the fridge until this morning, and cooked at lunch time. I suspect it would work well taking them out of the freezer in the morning and using them in the evening.

I needed some in a rush. Thought I’d try pre packed. I was very impressed! (I also made 7 from dough, if that keeps you happy).

Looks like an amazing oven.

For those with the charcoal version, is it purely charcoal that you are using? lumpwood?
Do you regret not going for the gas version? seems like there is an issue with maintaining temperature

I’ve found the best way is it just leave it balled and covered (so it doesn’t crust over) for 20 or 30 mins to let the gluten relax, and it should stretch out again

True that.
Once you reball the gluten structures get very tight.
Need to give it time .
