Adrian wire references, tested many pizza ovens and made more than a thousand pizza The past seven years. Matthew Corfaj, a dining writer who has long been written on pizza on both coasts for 15 years, from Slices of sausages in Portland to Mexican pizza story in Philadelphia.

We test each pizza oven for a few weeks, using homemade dough (Adrienne Levees Classical pizza dough recipe), The fresh dough balls purchased from the local pizza, the fresh dough purchased from the store, and the frozen pizza. We use infrared heat scales to ensure that the cooking surface temperature is consistent (this is what the built -in thermometer says). When related, we also check the integrated heat scales on each oven for our surrounding heat scales.

Pizza ovens are also a little more varied than you think. Over the years of the test, Adrienne used its pizza ovens for meat slices, rapid salmon, and broccoli. Matthew has fried wings in the pizza oven, grilled pork pieces, charred asparagus, and black chicken.

It took me for many years, and thousands of pizza, to improve my pizza making technology. To be honest, the pizza, like Napoli, does not meet the standard that I set Associazione Verace Pizza NapoletanaGlobal power on Napoli pizza. (Ooni Pizza Ovens, including previous models of the highest karu 2 rating, are the only models that we recommend that AVPN has also been recommended.)

But over the years, I collected some tips for those of you who find to make a bit or scary pizza. If you cool your dough, bring it to room temperature first. Sprinkle the flour or corn flour generously on the peel before collecting the pizza. Be patient and extend it from the inside to the outside. It is cheating, but I am also guilty of using it Small pin circulated ($ 10) To help me get thin dough as much as possible.

The authentic Napoli pie will use some specific ingredients. When you make your dough, you can reach 00 flourWhich is specifically grinded for pizza and pasta. The fresh mozzarella will make a wet pizza, so I use a mixture of fresh and chopped cheese, low cheese of cheese, and more pie. If you do not strictly stick to Napoli, we also have some favorite pancakes that we would like to recommend. I and I love a good Povalo pie with Frank Red Hot and pickles. I also tried recently Pizza Pizza Pizza In the pressure bottle, although it is good as a final sauce for spray over the pancakes, you can make yourself much cheaper by placing olive oil and herbs in a Pressure bottle.

Pizza ovens are more diverse than you may think: Cook everything from salmon to a steak to chicken thighs in a heating mine Frying In a hot oven and the food appeared in it. For more guidance, he has Ooni Cooking; Chef Francis Malman Books It is also a good source of inspiration. –Adrian like this

Does your courtyard already occupy it by a giant giant? It is possible that the grill or smoker has a pizza attachment that you can buy with less than a new oven. Large director Martin Cesamar’s favorite is a smoker, Yader Wood -working oven attachment ($ 499)Who saved him from many nights of fire. Sitting under the hood, over a steel sheet located over the firebox. The paper is a publisher and has an increased size holes while moving away from the heat so that the section gets beyond the flame. The design provides a consistent temperature along the oven floor, and it works well, with the farthest corners of the oven still cuts 650 ° F.

You can also convert the interior oven into a pizza oven. While most ovens exceed 500 ° F, one of the ways to transfer more heat to your pizza is before heating the surface of the bread with a high thermal mass-which will maintain the temperature stability and provide direct stored heat energy. An easy way to do this is by pre -heating Cast iron or Steel. Classic Lloyd Ban It is one of the preferred tools for a general or Sicily pizza, which works well in traditional ovens.

Many of our barbecue manufacturers and oven pizza, such as Careto and WeberAlso make ceramic pizza stones. Check our guide to Best portable grills and Satellite accessories For more.

Honorable remembrance

We have tried a lot of pizza ovens. Below some of us loved that it did not make the pieces completely.

Ooni Karu, first edition for $ 349: Ooni still sells the previous generation oven from the best WIRED selection, Caro 2For about $ 100 less. Like other ONI pizza ovens, OG karu is an excellent oven – carried and easy to clean – and Adrienne wire references, so he couldn’t stop using the thing after testing it first. However, the newer Caro 2 heats up evenly, carries more fuel than the first generation oven.

Ooni Koda 12 for $ 399: Original Ooni Koda 12 (8/10, recommends wireIt is only 21 pounds, making it more light and loaded. Her thin steel shells coated with powder are isolated well enough that they remain cold to touch, even when the fire is burned. Just slip into the bread stone, the screw on the propane tank, and you are ready to go. The door is suitable for 12 -inch pizza peeling and 10 -inch iron. However, you must no Store it outside.

Gozney Roccbox for $ 499: When Adrienne first reviewed dual fuel Gozney Roccbox (5/10, wireless review)She praised the fast recovery time that made Roccbox common between the chefs emanating from the pizza, allowing it to make 10 pies in less than 30 minutes when cooking pizza with propane. However, a few home pizza makers need such productivity, and the 44 -pound device is heavier than other competitors. It was difficult to use the optional Woodbox, for those who wanted to cook with fire. But the price of Gozney, previously among the most expensive participants, is now very reasonable.

Ninja wood oven for $ 300: If you are looking for a powerful and useful outer oven, this is it Very good choice With a temperature above 700 degrees. The door is a little sticky, which makes the baking pizza at a little high heat, but if you want one device it can do everything from the smoke of pork to make cakes to bake the pizza pie, then this is your choice.

Bazano for $ 99: this Popular Tijk The oven at reasonable, small and comfortable prices. It looks like a waffle ironIt comes with Double dual improvisation To facilitate mode. Surprisingly, its claims to heat up the upper and lower elements to 800 degrees Fahrenheit are a minute, and it takes about 15 minutes, allowing short cooking times. But note that the heating element at the top does not cover the entire surface area, so you have to rotate your pies frequently. Also, opening the upper part like a nonsense means that it does not keep the heat very well. It decreased by 100 to 200 degrees between pancakes and requires little recovery time.

It was also tested

The current backyard model P for $ 699: No less than the Alton Braun TV character that signed as a tool of 1750 watts of the internal pizza/exterior oven, which will heat up to 850 ° F using a standard power outlet. The heat will be relatively even across the oven, and it will reach the highest temperature in about 30 minutes. But cooking settings are restricted to some preconceived levels (Uita style, thin crust, Napoli, frozen), which can be temperatures and cooking times are somewhat difficult. At least during the first months, the application control tools on the device tend to provide more dodges than jobs. The actual temperature and temperature do not always coincide, operating and stopping the higher thermal elements such as the lights in the movie David Lynch, according to what the company calls a special algorithm. However, you can make a great pizza on this thing, and you can make it inside. The current says it plans to add more functions and cooking methods in future updates, and we will continue to test. But he feels less baked fully at the present time, especially at their price.

Petzaka Petzak for $ 130: This oven is adorable at reasonable prices, and you can stand in your corridor and cook a good pizza while sitting on the camp chair. However, it does not become hot or cooked evenly as the isolated oven does.

The best accessories

Some pizza ovens provide you with royal accessories to appoint you on the pizza track. But we also found some useful additions along the way:

Portable infrared temperature for $ 47: Even if the oven has a built -in heat scale, the infrared heat scale is a great way to check the temperature in different areas of pizza stone. It is also important to ensure that the stone has time to heat after each pizza.

Peel a wooden pizza for $ 34: If you have multiple scales, it will be fast and easy to prepare a pizza while another baking. Wireless auditors, Adrian SO and Matthew Korfhage, each have several peels, including a A small, useful transformation peel. But for the sake of launch, the dough is unlikely to adhere to a wooden peel, especially if you spray some semolina or flour first.

Blue of the cast iron for $ 25: You can also use a frying frying pan in the pizza oven to burn the slices of meat or broccoli the pan. Lodge article Work too More expensive options.

Heat -resistant gloves for $ 20: This cast iron gets To the maximum Hot, so you will also need a good pair of gloves. (Even these will not protect your hands for a long time, so you will need a place near the oven to adjust the pan.)

Fire beginners for $ 20: If you have been frightened by the idea of cooking with wood, do not be! These beginners in the fire makes it fast and simple. You only need to light the end in a match, drop it in the fuel box, and line up Some oak sticks On top. Make sure to keep the wood dry if you do not want to create a smoke staple in your backyard.
