lion Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Breville made a new pizza oven ($800 clams!)! When I bring this up in conversation with my wife, she shakes her head. She knows the depth of my temptation to add to the clutter of the kitchen countertop no matter how nonchalant I try and keep this conversation. 750 degrees at home! Leopard spots! I would relegate the air fryer to the garage shelve to make space! Eater has a youtube video! Has anyone seen one in action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine why it cost $800 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullitt Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Kenji Lopez-Alt is a fan of a baking steel. It appears to do a credible job at a tenth of the cost of the Breville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was $50-$70. It makes pretty good pizza (and bagels) in my not so awesome oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat retention and convection, I'd think. This slab Kenji describes is 15 lbs. I've never encountered a cast iron griddle anywhere near that heavy. I'm assuming that means a ton in terms of how much heat it can hold so that when the pizza cools the surface, it gets quickly back to temperature based on the additional heat just below.

Would like to see a demo of the Breville Pizzaiolo but yeah it may be over kill! However it has been fun making pizzas with my son so part of the thought behind purchasing it would be the science experiment style cooking with him.

Ericandblueboy Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Ooni. $299. Quote Ooni Koda features instant gas ignition, firing up to 932°F within 15 minutes and cooking Neapolitan-style pizza in just 60 seconds. I saw this ad on my Facebook page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks very interesting and could easily hook up with my grill's propane tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Does anyone have first-hand experience with Ooni or seen one in action? The Pro model appeals most to me, because it can take many different fuel sources (wood, charcoal, gas). What concerns me, apart from ease of cleaning, is the length of time that it takes to heat the surface so that pizza won't stick. Reviews seem conflicting on this front, with some claiming that 20 minutes is enough while others say up to an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
