Pizza ovens

The stretch and fold method in this recipe is pretty hands off, minimal kneading required.

Couldn't disagree more. Picked up the cheapest mixer I could find, a Russell Hobbs mixer, 2 years ago for about €100 from argos and it's made a lot of dough (an amount that I don't want to state publicly) without any issue.

Looking at getting an Ooni - just waiting to see what Black Friday deals they might have. Think i will get a gas one. Just one question - I was looking at some recipes on their website and some have two different temperatures e.g. cook z at 350C temp/then heat up and remainder at 500C. how easy/difficult is it to regulate temperature. Do i need to get a thermometer? If so any recommendation - the Ooni one is €40 - is there a cheaper option?

That's hilarious. I make enough for 6 at a time, 60% hydration, at half power for about 8 minutes each time without hassle.

Like others here I've a cheap (59.99) stand mixer from Aldi I use for for pizza dough, the brand is Ambiano. Have been using it two years now without issue and they have a 3 year warranty. Im not much of a baker or dessert maker so I didnt see the point of spending 300 euro+ on a Kitchen Aid or Kenwood just to make a batch of 6 pizza dough balls once a month or so. And for the odd time I do want to whip cream or make a cake its handy to have it about. From that perspective I think a stand mixer is a better choice over a breadmaker as it is more versatile for making other stuff like cakes and desserts.

20% on Ooni website until end of next Monday if anyone is interested. Covers almost all products including ovens and accessories aside from the newest releases

Maybe the carry cover. Handy enough.

I'd agree with the posters above.

I have a carry cover, a sizzler (or maybe it's a grizzler?) and one of their bamboo peels. I use the cover all the time, I've used the sizzler once and I have a €9.99 peel I got in Lidl that gets way more use and is way more useful than the ooni peel (although the ooni one looks a bit nicer on the table).

I was looking at it myself and wondering the same. Its hard to tell but in the photo the material just looks like it is what they make cheap rainjackets out of. Also it is advertised as a carry cover and not as protection for winter. It definitely isnt the thicker material on the cover I have for the Ooni 3 which was advertised as protection for winter.

If you search the thread there was posts about alternatives, I think someone got a backpack cover for less than a tenner and that fitted it fine

I bought an oven yesterday - based on email received from Ooni I should have it within 2 weeks. Just re leaving out overnight / moving oven - how long does it take for it to cool down after cooking to allow you to move it back into shed or wherever it is been stored. Does the cover help move it earlier if it is still warm?

I have a Karu 12 - I'd say 30 mins is plenty for it to cool down. In a pinch I might move it after 10 or 15 mins but I'd take the cover back off after moving it to let it cool down fully just in case.

I got my oven a few days ago but no sign of the cover, anyone else have the same issue?
