Got my cheese and pepperoni from adimaria today!,addresspal got it last Tuesday and they only sent me a mail on Friday saying id have it in 3-4 days ,but it came today and it was two 1kg bags of mozzarella and one 1kg bag of pepperoni,it was all wrapped in tinfoil with 4 cooler gel bags ,they are all fine, maybe because of the cold temperatures now it would probably be a different story if it was the Summer,going to try them on a pizza on Thursday..

Since you were online a few hours ago it looks like the cheese and pepperoni that was in transit for over a week didn't kill you!

But was it worth ordering is the question I have? How did it turn out? I'm always on the lookout for a nice pepperoni that will cup in the oven and turn into little pools of grease. Yum.

Ha ha no it didnt kill me

Yes it was worth it just pity the delivery took so long i think next time ill pay the extra delivery to the north and use parcel motel,i froze it all in individual bags and each bag would be enough for roughly 3 pizzas ,the cheese is nice and creamy doesn't burn and has a nice stretch to it ,and the pepperoni is a bit greasy for me so i put it in the microwave for a few seconds before i put it on the pizza and it cups up perfectly its the very same as you would get on a takeaway pizza ,i bought some chilli honey too and i drizzle that over the pizza and into the pepperoni cups its really good!

This is the honey i got for anyone interested

I'm going to have to order some after Christmas then. Too nervous to do it at the minute with the strain the postal services are under. An Post took 3 weeks to deliver a package to Sligo after it was checked into their Dublin depot last month :eek:

Obviously I'll probably have to pay import fees after January, but I find it so difficult to find that cheap, greasy takeaway pizza pepperoni that my cheap taste buds crave. So I'm ready to give it a shot and pay the extra after reading the above!

Lightening Deal on Amazon for a short, foldable handled Aluminium pizza peel - £20. It's not displaying on CamelCamelCamel, but it says the non-deal price is £40
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aluminum-Foldable-Storage-12-Inch-Homemade/dp/B01NBX7GOB/ref=gbps_tit_s-4_8fb3_971ead3a?smid=A2KK1V0E21M0WG&pf_rd_p=5770d944-b1ab-47ea-9c5d-78836d8d8fb3&pf_rd_s=slot-4&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=gb_main&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=J6S75974TPNFWQ997M52

Anyone know if this one is any good?

£20 is an ok price but I wouldn't pay £40! Nisbets.ie have a non-folding variety for about €20 inc. VAT. The folding handle would be handy for storage. Note that anything over 12" width won't fit inside the Ooni Koda.

With gas bottles does the deposit system mean you can only refill it in the same shop as you got the first one? Or does it not matter once you've paid the initial deposit?

As far as I know you’re paying for the actual cylinder, so any shop should accept and swap it for a full, where you’re only paying for the gas

Cheers Pete, good to know I can bring it to any shop for a refill. On a motorbike so I dont want to risk carrying a cylinder of gas sitting on top of a tank of petrol in case I turn into a fireball :pac:

I doubt they'll refill "your" gas cylinder for you. I'd presume they'll just swop it for a full one.

Was this for a Koda 12? Do you mind me asking if your order was placed on or after 25th November with order number greater than #EU37538? Their site says these orders won't be delivered until late March.

Mine falls into this late March category but I received an email a few days ago saying it would be shipped early and arrive before Christmas - not confirmed as dispatched or anything. So I messaged Ooni to see which version was correct and they're now saying the early shipment mail I received was a mistake. Hopes dashed 😢

My order was place on Nov 25th order number EU390XX. I got a tracking number and says it was picked up.

Cheers, mine is EU378XX but no tracking number unfortunately. Really hope it's not back to late March for my delivery after they initially mailed to say it'd arrive before Christmas!

Happy Christmas all!

Has anyone purchased Caputo Gluten Free Flour in an actual shop in Ireland?

I got 3 packs off amazon in November for 25 pounds but it would handy to have something local. I'm in Kerry/Cork area.

Apologies if this has been asked previously.......

I bought an Ooni Karu and gas regulator a few months ago but am only setting it up now. Attached the gas regulator today to check all is well but it's the wrong connection! It's the 37mBar which I believe is correct, but a push type fitting regulator, whereas the propane cylinder has a screw fitting. I know the regulators in UK and Ireland are different - I'm guessing Ooni send UK regulators with their 37mBar equipment and I need to buy an Irish version?!

You can get a push type gas cylinder. This is the one I have. You might need to just take the cylinder back and swap it or just buy another

What size is your cylinder? The smaller tanks, including propane afaik, are the push type. The larger cylinders are definitely the screw top. I think the screw top starts at 19kg.

Im not too familiar either tbh. We have 2 34kg(?) Cylinders that are nearly full. They were being used on a gas stove that we replaced and they have the screw top. I want to get a proper regulator and quick release fittings so we can use them for the Karu. Although with lockdowns and stuff we'll just get a regular sized push top cylinder for now.

I’m not sure about the larger cylinders but I know for sure you can get several fitting types on the small cylinders

Just had a look and it's a FloGas propane 10.89kg cylinder (red). Checked the FloGas website and it seems their patio gas cylinders (which is propane) have push fittings, but their red propane cylinders have a screw fitting despite holding the same gas.....WTF?!

Its probably something to do with what the cylinder is being used for. Patio gas I'd presume with a push fitting is designed for something that can be moved fairly often where as a screw fitting may be an option for gas cookers that would be in a permanent position.

For anyone interested in American style pizza Snackmasters are doing a program on Dominoes pizza on Channel 4 Thursday 8pm. Two chefs will attempt to re-create a Dominoes pizza, should be good for some dough tips

Just watched the replay on the All 4 app.
Has anyone else got any good tidbits out of this show?

The 240C for 6mins is what I would use for a standard oven normally. In fact my AEG goes up to 300C so I sometimes set it to this for about 30-60secs less.

Proving at 2C for 24-48hrs - got to try this.

Cornmeal when rolling out the dough - another one to try. I normally use plain flour and then sprinkle of semolina on bottom to prevent sticking

Have no probs with the way my pizzas turn out in the Ooni, but always tempted to try something different.

Cold proving for 2-3 definitely allows the yeast to develop a deeper flavour. Regards Dominoes Ive seen videos on Youtube where they add garlic oil all around the crust when the pizza is cooked.

This site is American centric but is an excellent resource if you want recipes for various doughs. Theres a lot of clone recipes there for Dominoes pizza, Papa Johns, etc

This conversation has got me thinking about ingredients, toppings etc. and there were previous mentions of UK based suppliers.

You don't need to.
There is an excellent supplier right here in Ireland when it comes to cheeses, meat etc.

I mentioned Toon Bridge Dairy before.
They're based out of Cork but also have a shop in Dublin.
Sadly I didn't get a second chance to check out the Dublin shop before Level 5 kicked in.
Not sure if they are still open during L5. Should be, as they are a food supplier.

I did order online for delivery though!
There is a delivery charge, but do check the expenditure amounts as one can get free delivery from about €50 or above.
I missed out by €10 because it wasn't highlighted.

My favourites are their
Mozzarella balls,
Pizza Mozzarella,
Scamorza - ����������
nduja - ����������

I've been making my own pizza dough/pizzas since the early 90s. And they're lovely, in fact that's what we're having tonight. They're not a patch on the ones from a pizza oven though.
We cooked the last ones in my daughter's Ooni in her back garden in the frost :pac:

Gas fired or wood / pellet fired?
